JSHint is a community-driven tool that detects errors and potential problems in JavaScript code. Since JSHint is so flexible, you can easily adjust it in the environment you expect your code to execute. JSHint is publicly available and will always stay this way. The project aims to help JavaScript developers write complex programs without worrying about typos and language gotchas. Any code base eventually becomes huge at some point, so simple mistakes, that would not show themselves when written, can become show stoppers and add extra hours of debugging. So, static code analysis tools come into play and help developers spot such problems. JSHint scans a program written in JavaScript and reports about commonly made mistakes and potential bugs. The potential problem could be a syntax error, a bug due to an implicit type conversion, a leaking variable, or something else entirely.
Features
- JSHint finds some red flags that could've been bugs or potential problems
- You should always combine tools like JSHint with unit and functional tests as well as with code reviews
- The core project consists of a library itself as well as a CLI program distributed as a Node module
- You can control JSHint's behavior through specifying any number of linting options
- JSHint will honor any directives declared within the input source code
- JSHint comes with a default set of warnings but it was designed to be very configurable
