Lint is a local development tool. With zero setup, it will keep you informed of possible problems in your CSS and JS code. Any warning and errors will be reported automatically in your console, so you can iterate quickly and keep your code clean.
This middleware evaluates only the code sent to your browser, not the original content of your files. As such, Lint plays nicely with most other middleware, including compilers for Sass, LESS and CoffeeScript.
Lint picks which code to scan based on requests to the server. For example, if you request a page that includes a Javascript file and two CSS files, only these three files will be scanned.
This middleware requires Connect 2.x and may also be paired with Express.
To install, you may use this command:
npm install connect-lint
To ensure proper scanning, we recommend loading Lint above all other middleware.
var connect = require('connect')
, http = require('http')
, lint = require('connect-lint');
var app = connect()
.use(lint())
.use(connect.static(__dirname + "/public"));
http.createServer(app).listen(3000);
This work rests on the shoulders of JSHint and CSSLint. Special thanks to Anton Kovalyov, Nicole Sullivan, Nicholas C. Zakas and all contributors to these great projects.
