JSHint
To enable JSHint and configure its behavior in PhpStorm
- In the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), 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.
- From the Version drop-down list, choose the version of the tool to use. PhpStorm comes bundled with version 2.9.5, which is used by default. To download another version, choose it from the list.
- 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. PhpStorm first looks for a.jshintrc
file in the working directory. If the search fails, PhpStorm searches in the parent folder, then again in the parent folder. The process is repeated until PhpStorm finds a.jshintrc
or reaches the project root. To have PhpStorm 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.
- To verify the code against the rules from a configuration file, select the Use config files checkbox.
