Class ArcanistJSHintLinter

Uses "JSHint" to detect errors and potential problems in JavaScript code. To use this linter, you must install jshint through NPM (Node Package Manager). You can configure different JSHint options on a per-file basis.

If you have NodeJS installed you should be able to install jshint with npm install jshint -g (don't forget the -g flag or NPM will install the package locally). If your system is unusual, you can manually specify the location of jshint and its dependencies by configuring these keys in your .arcconfig:

lint.jshint.prefix
lint.jshint.bin

If you want to configure custom options for your project, create a JSON file with these options and add the path to the file to your .arcconfig by configuring this key:

lint.jshint.config

Example JSON file (config.json):

{ "predef": [ // Custom globals "myGlobalVariable", "anotherGlobalVariable" ],

"es5": true,   // Allow ES5 syntax
    "strict": true // Require strict mode
}
