##jshint-log-reporter
This JSHint reporter is intended for logging errors into logfiles instead of command line output. It's especially useful when linting big projects for the first time, as you might get tens or even hundreds of warnings and notices.
Here's an example output:
JSHint found a total of 3 errors in 2 files.
public\js\configure.js
[W098] line 40, column 12:
Error: 'require' is defined but never used.
Code block: "var require = {"
public\js\utilities\color.js
[W033] line 96, column 3:
Error: Missing semicolon.
Code block: "})"
[W098] line 7, column 10:
Error: '$' is defined but never used.
Code block: " var $ = require('jquery');"
Installation
To use jshint-log-reporter
, you have to have JSHint installed on your system.
$ npm install jshint -g
Now you can install the reporter with the following command:
$ npm install jshint-log-reporter --save-dev
Usage
Here's a simple example implementation with Grunt.
grunt.initConfig({
jshint: {
options: {
reporter: require('jshint-log-reporter'),
reporterOutput: 'path_to_an_output_file.log'
},
files: {
src: ["public/js/**/*.js"]
}
}
}
This task executes JSHint on the given files
(files matching ["public/js/**/*.js"]
) and runs them through
jshint-log-reporter
, which returns the formatted error messages.
These error messages will then be written inside
path_to_an_output_file.log
.
Testing
To run the tests you have to have Nodeunit installed on your system.
$ npm install nodeunit -g
Execute nodeunit test/index.js
on the command line to run the tests.
