JSLint with multiple files

Question

JSLint works fine for just one JavaScript file. Recently, I've started breaking my program into several pieces.

I don't want to be stringing the pieces each time I use JSLint to check my code. What is the standard solution to deal with multiples files with JSLint?

Answer 1

There is a version of JSLint (node-JSLint) (command line) that allows you to check multiple files at once. Follow link for download at GitHub:

https://github.com/reid/node-jslint

The following examples of calling via the command line:

JSLint app.js JSLint lib / lib worker.js / server.js # Multiple files JSLint - white - onevar - regexp app.js JSLint # All options supported JSLint - bitwise false app.js # Defaults to true, but You Can Specify false JSLint - goodparts - # undef false app.js The Good Parts, except undef JSLint-gp app.js # Shorthand for - goodparts:-gp find . -name "*.js" -print0 | xargs -0 jslint # JSLint JSLint your Entire Project 

Note: This application was developed to NodeJS.

What's wrong with just running the command?

jslint . 

will check all js files in the current directory and recurse down the tree.
