Enforcing noopener noreferrer with grunt-htmllint

I recently was using create-react-app and noticed that the <a> tag in App.js was using the noopener noreferrer attributes. I also noticed that scattered throughout our code-base, are <a> tags which do not use the above attributes.



I wanted to, using grunt-htmllint, add a rule that would enforce the adding of these attributes but am having trouble with the value that I should add to what I think would be "tag-req-attr".



The documentation for the rule is listed here, but the usage for me is confusing. How can I set the specified <a> tag to include said rules?



I am looking for a way to enforce that the rel attribute contains both noopener and noreferrere.g.:



<a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">My Link</a>



Thanks

  • You probably want the link-req-noopener option instead. So in the options object of your grunt-htmllint task you add 'link-req-noopener': true . However the description for link-rel-no-opener states: "If set, each a tag with target="_blank" must have a rel="noopener" or rel="noreferrer" attribute." - Intentional emphasis on "or", so I don't think it works with both values present.

According to, https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/noopener, it looks like noreferrer handles both cases: rel="noreferrer" attribute has the same effect, but also prevents the Referer header from being sent to the new page.



In that case, simply using the link-req-noopener rule should be sufficient.

  • The link-req-noopener option fails if both noopener and noreferrer exist as values for the rel attribute as per the html fragment in your question.
