linkcheck-bin v3.0.0-1

npm-installable wrapper for @filiph's linkcheck.

A lot of inspiration (and some code) came from @jakejarvis' hugo-extended.

Installation

npm install linkcheck-bin --save-dev
# or...
yarn add linkcheck-bin --dev

This package's version numbers align with linkcheck's — linkcheck-bin@2.0.20 installs linkcheck 2.0.20, for example.

Usage

CLI / package.json script

// package.json:

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "linkcheck": "linkcheck --external --check-anchors https://tylerbutler.com"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "linkcheck-bin": "^2.0.20"
  }
  // ...
}

$ npm run linkcheck
