Markdown link linter

0.3.0 2024-07-29 10:07 UTC

README

Simple command line tool that aims to detect invalid links in markdown files.

Currently following types of links are being validated:

  • relative links
  • anchor links
  • mention links
bin/mdlinklint path --exclude=vendor --exclude=node_modules

Use with Docker:

docker run -t --rm -v $PWD:/app norberttech/md-link-linter --exclude=vendor --exclude=node_modules .

First argument path can be skipped or overwritten by environment variable MD_LINTER_SCAN_DIR

MD_LINTER_SCAN_DIR=path bin/mdlinklint --exclude=vendor --exclude=node_modules

When both, argument path and environment variable are present, environment variable takes priority.

./mdlinklint --help

Usage:
  run [options] [--] [<path>]

Arguments:
  path                     Path in which md link linter should validate all markdown files

Options:
      --dry-run               Scan path and output md files
      --exclude=EXCLUDE       Exclude folders with this name (multiple values allowed)
      --mention=MENTION       Mentions whitelist (can include all team members or groups), if empty mentions are not validated (multiple values allowed)
  -h, --help                  Display help for the given command. When no command is given display help for the run command
  -q, --quiet                 Do not output any message
  -V, --version               Display this application version
      --ansi                  Force ANSI output
      --no-ansi               Disable ANSI output
  -n, --no-interaction        Do not ask any interactive question
  -bf, --break-on-failure     Break the inspection on first failure
  -rp, --root-path=ROOT-PATH  Root path used to assert absolute links. Link: [link](/nested/file.php) will check if file /nested/file.php exists from this path
  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose        Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

Preview

Validating mentions

Using --mention option you can set allowed mentions

bin/mdlinklint path --mentions=norberttech --mention=team_name

If not used, mention link assertion will always pass.

Installation

Docker

Recommended - md-link-linter is not a type of tool you want to put into your project as a dependency because it comes with it own dependencies that might overlaps with yours.

Docker Hub - norberttech/md-link-linter

Composer

composer global require norberttech/md-link-linter

Phive

Since md-link-linter relay on \realpath function which does not work in Phar environment (explanation below) there are no plans for now to make it available through phive.

The function realpath() will not work for a file which is inside a Phar as such path would be a virtual path, not a real one.
