JSHint

To enable JSHint and configure its behavior in AppCode

1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog (N/A), click JavaScript under Languages and Frameworks and then click JSHint under Code Quality Tools. On the JSHint that opens, select the Enable checkbox. After that all the controls on the page become available.

2. From the Version drop-down list, choose the version of the tool to use. AppCode comes bundled with version 2.9.5, which is used by default. To download another version, choose it from the list.

3. Configure the behaviour of JSHint:
   • To verify the code against the rules from a configuration file, select the Use config files checkbox.

     A configuration file is a JSON file with the extension .jshintrc that specifies which JSHint options should be enabled or disabled. AppCode first looks for a .jshintrc file in the working directory. If the search fails, AppCode searches in the parent folder, then again in the parent folder. The process is repeated until AppCode finds a .jshintrc or reaches the project root. To have AppCode still run verification when no .jshintrc is found in the project, specify the default configuration file to use. Learn more about JSHint configuration files from the JSHint Official website.

   • To configure verification manually, clear the checkbox and enable the relevant validations in the Options area. Learn more from the JSHint Official website.
