JSLINT in a web page

This shows how to use JSLint in a web page.

Call the JSLint function, passing in a source text (either a string or an array of strings), an optional options object, and an optional array of globals variables that the file is allowed readonly access.

jslint(source, options, globals);

jslint returns an object containing its results. The object contains a lot of valuable information. It can be used to generate reports. The object contains:

• edition: the version of JSLint that did the analysis.
• functions: an array of objects that represent all of the functions declared in the file.
• global: an object representing the global object. Its .context property is an object containing a property for each global variable.
• id: "(JSLint)"
• imports: an array of strings representing each of the imports.
• json: true if the file is a JSON text.
• lines: an array of strings, the source.
• module: true if an import or export statement was used.
• ok: true if no warnings were generated. This is what you want.
• option: the option argument.
• property: a property object.
• stop: true if JSLint was unable to finish. You don't want this.
• tokens: an array of objects representing the tokens in the file.
• tree: the token objects arranged in a tree.
• warnings: an array of warning objects. A warning object can contain:
• name: 'JSLintError'
• column: A column number in the file.
• line: A line number in the file.
• code: A warning code string.
• message: The warning message string.
• a: Exhibit A.
• b: Exhibit B.
• c: Exhibit C.
• d: Exhibit D.
