[Feature Request] Automatic Validation #28

Open Nkiet opened 2 years ago

Nkiet commented 2 years ago

Hello! Thank you very much for the extension, it does wonders.

I'd like to know if it'd be possible to add an automatic validation option to the extension settings, validating and popping up errors on the editor as you code, so there's no need of clicking on a button or saving the document to make the errors show up.

I really think it helps with productivity. There're a few more HTML validation/linting extensions that check the code automatically, but I think they're lacking in rules which VSCode W3C Web Validator accounts for.

Appreciate all the work.

Hi @Nkiet thank for your nice feedback! 👍🏻

I think it would be possible to add an automatic check every few seconds but not on every input typed. The validation process is based on an API call to the W3C API so it would be an issue to send requests too often.

PRs are welcome if you want to try to implement the "x second validation" thing.

Have a nice day!
