JSHint, A Static Code Analysis Tool for JavaScript

JSHint is a community-driven tool to detect errors and potential problems in JavaScript code and to enforce your team's coding conventions. We made JSHint very flexible so you can easily adjust it to your particular coding guidelines and the environment you expect your code to execute in.

Our goal is to help JavaScript developers write complex programs without worrying about typos and language gotchas.

We believe that static code analysis programs—as well as other code quality tools—are important and beneficial to the JavaScript community and, thus, should not alienate their users.

For general usage and hacking information, visit our website: http://jshint.com/.

Reporting a bug

To report a bug simply create a new GitHub Issue and describe your problem or suggestion. We welcome all kind of feedback regarding JSHint including but not limited to:

• When JSHint doesn't work as expected
• When JSHint complains about valid JavaScript code that works in all browsers
• When you simply want a new option or feature

Before reporting a bug look around to see if there are any open or closed tickets that cover your issue. And remember the wisdom: pull request > bug report > tweet.

FAQ

How do I turn off “mixed tabs and spaces” warning?

If you‘re using so-called smart tabs then we have an option smarttabs for you. Otherwise, your solution is to run JSHint with a custom reporter that discards any warnings you don’t like. For example, this example reporter discards all warnings about mixed tabs and spaces.
