  1. Adds a cli binary yextve
  1. Adds a cli command validate
  • has --yextCI flag for skipping API validation
  • also has individual flags for skipping different parts of validation
  • See src/cli/commands/validate
  1. Adds validation scritps
    • stage 1: metadata - checks the library.json is ready to be uploaded to the API
    • stage 2: structure - checks that the repo structure, layout jsons, and component frontmatter are valid
      • This was largely copied from Brian's previous CRs
    • stage 3: code checks
      • XSS checks
      • bans node: imports
      • import denylist (per team discussion)
    • see src/internal/sectionLibraryValidation
  2. Various other clean up
  • adds comments to some types
  • moves a file of types into the types dir
  • moves shared validation out of the vite plugin

Example validation failure:

$ npm run validate

> pages-visual-editor-starter@0.0.0 validate
> yextve validate

Library metadata: failed (2 errors)
  src/library/library.json: id must be at most 64 characters and may contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.
  src/library/library.json: schemaVersion must equal 1.
Repository structure: failed (3 errors)
  src/library/layouts/yext-bar-social-dining/defaultLayout.json: Layout yext-bar-social-dining references missing or incompatible section YextBarSocialDiningMapSection
  src/library/sections/YextBarSocialDiningMapSection.tsx: src/library/sections/YextBarSocialDiningMapSection.tsx config must define a valid id. Accepted form: export const config: SectionConfig = { ... };
  src/library/sections/invalid-dir: Section directories are not supported.
Code checks: failed (3 errors)
  src/library/sections/YextBarSocialDiningBreadcrumbsSection.tsx:3:21: Package 'express' is not permitted in Section Library code.
  src/library/sections/YextBarSocialDiningFaqSection.tsx:29:26: Node built-in module 'node:fs' cannot run in Section Library browser code.
  src/library/sections/YextBarSocialDiningFaqSection.tsx:735:18: dangerouslySetInnerHTML is not permitted in Section Library code.

Validation failed. 8 errors.

Example validation success:

$ npm run validate

> pages-visual-editor-starter@0.0.0 validate
> yextve validate

Library metadata: passed
Repository structure: passed
Code checks: passed

Validation passed. 0 errors.

Walkthrough

The change adds centralized Section Library validation for metadata, structure, imports, and XSS patterns. It defines shared Section Library types under src/types. The generator now consumes validation results and reports aggregated issues. The new yextve validate CLI supports stage-skipping flags, Yext CI behavior, formatted output, and exit codes. Package scripts build and expose the CLI. Related imports and generated configuration code are updated.

25-26: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Share one safeIdPattern definition and stop matching on error text.

safeIdPattern is now defined here and again in packages/visual-editor/src/vite-plugin/section-library/sectionFrontmatter.ts (line 10). The two patterns must stay identical, because line 151 re-checks the id that extractSectionConfigFrontmatter already validated. Line 158 also classifies the rule by searching the error message for "config must define a valid id". A future wording change in sectionFrontmatter.ts silently reclassifies the issue as sections/frontmatter.

Export the pattern from a shared module and give the frontmatter parser a typed error (for example an error class or an error code) so the rule mapping does not depend on message text.

Also applies to: 151-166

Maybe this flag is more confusing than just using the individual flags

It seems we only want to use "skip-api-check" in the YextCI anyways

Open to discussion --
I was thinking it would be easiest to always have YextCI pass the --yextCI flag, and then this script would control what that means/does. For now it's equivalent to --skip-api-check, but that could change in the future. But maybe that's unnecessarily confusing/complicated?

Sorry I don't think I 100% have followed the validation flow. The way it is right now, YextCi wouldn't have to adjust in the future with this repo. And if we did the other way, we'd have to adjust both this repo and YextCi on changes?

Yeah, let's say we add a new step and --skip-new-step. If we use the --yextCI flag in YextCI, then we can update the script to alias --yextCI to --skip-api-check --skip-new-step at the same time that we add it. If we pass the individual flags from YextCI, we'd need to add the flag here, then update YextCI to also pass it
