How to run JSLint / JSHint in a file with template

Question

I'm trying to introduce some tools at work to improve code quality. An obvious solution that I'd used at a previous company was to run jslint before checking in code.

The problem is that we are using Django to do our templating (though, I assume we would have a similar problem with other templating languages).

How is it possible to take code like the below, and have it JSLint/JSHint properly while ignoring the template tags?

var a = { "test" : "test"};
{% comment %}
{% endcomment %}
{{ my_variable }}
window.x = "y";

I've seen this question specifically regarding JSHint, which looks like it could handle some cases, but it doesn't address inlining variables, like {{ my_variable }} above.

Is there any way to ignore certain lines using JSHint/JSLint, or otherwise get the linting to execute correctly?

Answer 1

Much like linting coffeescript with these tools, you're trying to lint content outside it's pervue. Probably easiest to run the template with dummy values, and JSHint that resulting file.
