karma-jshint-preprocessor v0.0.6

karma-jshint-preprocessor

Preprocessor / Plugin for Karma to check JavaScript syntax on the fly.

Installation

The easiest way is to keep karma-jshint-preprocessor as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "~0.10",
    "karma-jshint-preprocessor": "~0.1"
  }
}

You can simply do it by:

npm install karma-jshint-preprocessor --save-dev

Usage

In your karma.conf.js file, specify the files you want to have lint'ed in the preprocessor section like this.

...
preprocessors: {
  '*.js': ['jshint']
}
...

Optional jshintrc

Read an optional jshintrc property from the karma config to force a .jshintrc file to be used by jshint.

module.exports = function (config) {
  config.set({
    // ...
    jshintPreprocessor: {
      jshintrc: './.jshintrc'
    },
    // ...
  });
};

Thanks to Kl0tl for adding jshintrc path support.

JSHint configuration is read from a JSON formatted .jshintrc file within your project

Cancel build

Cancel the current build if a linting error has occurred. This can be useful on CI servers.

module.exports = function (config) {
  config.set({
    // ...
    jshintPreprocessor: {
      stopOnError: true
    },
    // ...
  });
};

Example .jshintrc file.

{
    "undef": true,
    "globals": {
        "angular": true
    }
}
