Package Exports

@hint/hint-button-type

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@hint/hint-button-type) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Specify button type (`button-type`)

button-type checks if all buttons have a type attribute set.

Why is this important?

The default type for <button> is submit (not type="button" as one might expect). This can lead to surprising keyboard behavior within a form.

The best way to avoid unexpected surprises is to always explicitly set a type on <button>s.

What does the hint check?

This hint checks whether the type attribute of a <button> is explicitly set.

Examples that trigger the hint

<button></button>

Examples that pass the hint

<button type="submit"></button>
<button type="button"></button>

How to use this hint?

This package is installed automatically by webhint:

npm install hint --save-dev

To use it, activate it via the .hintrc configuration file:

{
    "connector": {...},
    "formatters": [...],
    "parsers": [...],
    "hints": {
        "button-type": "error"
    },
    ...
}

Note: The recommended way of running webhint is as a devDependency of your project.
