lockfile-lint-api
exposes a set of validator APIs that can be used for programmatic use-cases, such as being employed by other tools and programs if needed.
The following lockfile validators are supported
Validator API | description | implemented |
---|---|---|
ValidateHttps | validates the use of HTTPS as protocol schema for all resources | ✅ |
ValidateHost | validates a whitelist of allowed hosts to be used for resources in the lockfile | ✅ |
ValidatePackageNames | validates that the resolved URL matches the package name | ✅ |
ValidateScheme | validates a whitelist of allowed URI schemes to be used for hosts | ✅ |
ValidateIntegrity | validates that the integrity hash type is sha512 | ✅ |
NOTE: package entries without a resolved
field (for example, those installed from the local filesystem) will automatically pass all url-based validators.
When validators encounter errors they will throw an exception, and on either success or failure in validating data they will always return a descriptive object for the validation task.
When validation is successful the following object will be returned from the validating function:
{
"type": "success",
"errors": []
}
When validation has failed the following object will be returned from the validating function:
{
"type": "error",
"errors": [
{
"package": "@babel/cli",
"message": "detected invalid origin for package: @babel/cli"
}
]
}
Notes about the returned object:
package
property and other metadata depends on the specific validators being usedconst validator = new ValidateHost({packages: lockfile.object})
let result
try {
result = validator.validate(['npm'])
} catch (error) {
// something bad happened during validation and the validation
// process couldn't take place
}
console.log(result)
/* prints
{
"type": "error",
"errors": [
{
"message": "detected invalid origin for package: meow",
"package": "meow"
}
]
}
