Question

I used the following plugin to install jslint for vim: https://github.com/hallettj/jslint.vim.

I’m a bit confused as to how to configure this.

I see a list of options here http://www.jslint.com/lint.html#options, but

1. in the jslint-vim plugin, where do I specify these options?
2. What is the option for removing indenting errors
3. What is the option to remove the “x variable was used before it was defined?”

Answer 1

in the jslint-vim plugin, where do I specify these options?

Create a .jslintrc in your home directory. The options are listed in a /**/ comment block. There’s an example in the documentation under Usage. Options set in your .jslintrc will apply to jslint generally, not just the vim plugin.

What is the option for removing indenting errors

Try setting white: tolerate messy whitespace. But this will cause other issues to pass.

Put this in your .jslintrc:

/*jslint white: true */

What is the option to remove the “x variable was used before it was defined?”

The option is named undef. Put this in your .jslintrc:

/*jslint undef: true */

Putting those two options together:

/*jslint white: true, undef: true */
