hpt-validator-cli v1.0.3

Hospital Price Transparency CLI Validator

CLI for validating CMS Hospital Price Transparency machine-readable files

Getting Started

Prerequisites

These were the minimum versions used to develop the CLI tool. It is recommended to keep both Node and NPM up-to-date with the latest releases.

• Node (version 16.x)
• NPM (version 8.5.x)

Installation

Install the CLI globally with

npm install -g hpt-validator-cli

Usage

cms-hpt-validator --help
Usage: index [options] <filepath> <version>

Arguments:
  filepath                   filepath to validate
  version                    (choices: "v2.0", "v2.0.0")

Options:
  -f, --format <string>      file format of file (choices: "csv", "json")
  -e, --error-limit <value>  maximum number for errors and warnings (default:
                             1000)
  -h, --help                 display help for command

Examples

Basic usage:

cms-hpt-validator ./sample.csv v2.0.0

Overriding the default error limit to show 50 errors and warnings:

cms-hpt-validator ./sample.csv v2.0.0 -e 50

Overriding the default error limit to show all errors and warnings:

cms-hpt-validator ./sample.csv v2.0.0 -e 0

Limitations

There may be a situation in which the CLI tool will run out of memory due to the amount of errors that are found in the file being validated. If you run into this NODE error, update the amount of errors to a smaller value that will be allowed to be collected with the -e, --error-limit flag.
