Integrate JSHint into Emacs via a node.js server.

jshint-mode was heavily inspired by Kevin Turners lintnode.

• nodejs - http://nodejs.org
• npmjs - http://npmjs.org

download or clone

$ git clone git://github.com/daleharvey/jshint-mode.git

Add the configuration to your .emacs config file:

$jshint-emacs-conf >> ~/.emacs  // or
$npm explore jshint-mode
Exploring /Users/yourname/node_modules/jshint-mode
Type 'exit' or ^D when finished

bash-3.2$ exit

or if you downloaded manually:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/jshint-mode")
(require 'flymake-jshint)
(add-hook 'javascript-mode-hook
     (lambda () (flymake-mode t)))

Becareful: If you emacs can't find node program, maybe you should add some config to .emacs like this:

(setenv "PATH" (concat "/usr/local/bin:" (getenv "PATH")))
(setq exec-path
      '(
	"/usr/local/bin"
	"/usr/bin"
	))

You can use M-x flymake-mode to turn flymake of and on, if you want to turn it on be fault, add the following to your .emacs

;; Turns on flymake for all files which have a flymake mode
(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'flymake-find-file-hook)

By default, jshint-mode will search for the nearest .jshintrc file up the directory tree from the location of each JS file you edit.

Alternatively, you can customize the jshint-mode-jshintrc variable to set the location of a .jshintrc file that will always be used (and will be the only one used).

You can use jshint-mode-jshint-path/jshint-mode-jslint-path to set the require path for the jshint module.

For the global installation of jshint, you can set jshint-mode-jshint-path to "jshint"

(setq jshint-mode-jshint-path "jshint")

Or for other installations you can point to the corresponding library via the absolute path. Eg:

(setq jshint-mode-jshint-path
 "/home/rohan/.local/lib/node_modules/jshint/src/jshint.js")

By default, jshint-mode will use the bundled snapshots the linting tools.

If use Emacs.app on OS X, you need to set the following environment variables:

• PATH - Add path to your node executable
