I mean to run it like this:
node.exe lint.js my_js_file.js
And then get output to a console.
What do I need to download ? Do I need just to save http://www.jslint.com/
to disk and then grab some attached js file or I need to look for special version for node.js ?
Install jshint
globally then you can use it from the command line.
npm install -g jshint
jshint testfile.js
All this is assuming that you already have node
and npm
running on you windows machine.
Edit
I just noticed that I responded with an answer for jshint
instead of jslint
, the as the other answer points out, they are similar but not the same. My answer holds true for both though.
For jslint
:
npm install -g jslint
jslint testfile.js
March's answer is for jsHint. Minor changes for jsLint, with an "L", if that's precisely what you want.
Here's a decent guide for Ubuntu. Most of it translates:
http://blog.simplytestable.com/installing-jslint-for-command-line-use-on-ubuntu/
So once you've installed node, you can do the following:
C:\Users\YourName>mkdir C:\usr\share\node-jslint
C:\Users\YourName>cd C:\usr\share\node-jslint
C:\usr\share\node-jslint>npm install jslint
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/jslint
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/jslint
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/jslint/-/jslint-0.2.10.tgz
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/jslint/-/jslint-0.2.10.tgz
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nopt
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/nopt
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nopt/-/nopt-1.0.10.tgz
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/nopt/-/nopt-1.0.10.tgz
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/abbrev
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/abbrev
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/abbrev/-/abbrev-1.0.4.tgz
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/abbrev/-/abbrev-1.0.4.tgz
jslint@0.2.10 node_modules\jslint
+-- nopt@1.0.10 (abbrev@1.0.4)
Note that I borrowed the path from the Ubuntu directions for my C:\
drive. You can put the jslint module wherever you want. Just ensure that you change the path in the jslint call, below.
Now I can run jslint against any file I want using the jslint module I've installed. I downloaded jQuery development 1.11 just for fun, and saved it to c:\temp\jquery-1.11.0.js
. So let's jslint it.
C:\usr\share\node-jslint>node C:/usr/share/node-jslint/node_modules/jslint/bin/jslint.js c:\temp\jquery-1.11.0.js
c:\temp\jquery-1.11.0.js
#1 Expected exactly one space between 'function' and '('.
(function( global, factory ) { // Line 15, Pos 10
#2 Unexpected space between '(' and 'global'.
(function( global, factory ) { // Line 15, Pos 12
#3 Unexpected space between 'factory' and ')'.
(function( global, factory ) { // Line 15, Pos 28
#4 Use spaces, not tabs.
if ( typeof module === "object" && typeof module.exports === "object" ) { //
Line 17, Pos 1
...
Etc etc. I'm in C:\usr\share\node-jslint
, above, but I've used the full path to jslint.js
, so I can use the same call anywhere.
And you're linting.
