# SrtValidator

> Warning! The original package is https://www.npmjs.com/package/srt-validator. But as per this fork published, the original version doesn't have `dist` folder published to npm, so after npm install, need to build the package inside `node_modules` which is a bit inconvenience.

## Installation

```bash
yarn add srt-validator
```

Or

```bash
npm install srt-validator --save
```

## Examples

SRT file (also known as SubRip Subtitle file) is a plain-text file that contains subtitles with the start and end timecodes of the text to ensure the subtitles match the audio. It also inclues the sequential number of subtitles. A sample SRT looks like this:

```srt
1
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,375
Senator, we're making
our final approach into Coruscant.

2
00:02:20,476 --> 00:02:22,501
Very good, Lieutenant.
```

This library only exposes a single util function `srtValidator(input)` which takes a string as an input and validates it against the [SRT spec][srt-spec]. The output of this function is an array of error objects. If the array is empty then there are no errors and the SRT is valid.

### Valid SRT

```js
import srtValidator from 'srt-validator';

const srtString = `1
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,375
Senator, we're making
our final approach into Coruscant.

2
00:02:20,476 --> 00:02:22,501
Very good, Lieutenant.`;

srtValidator(srtString);
```

This will return:

```js
[];
```

### Invalid SRT

```js
import srtValidator from 'srt-validator';

const srtString = `1
02:01:17,440 --> 02:00:20,375
Forget it, Jake.
It's Chinatown.`;

srtValidator(srtString);
```

This will return:

```js
[
  {
    errorCode: 'validatorErrorStartTime',
    lineNumber: 2,
    message: 'start time should be less than end time',
    validator: 'CaptionTimeSpanValidator',
  },
];
```
