Feature request: vscode-jslint – lint on save (or lint automatically)

[fourier-space]

I hope this is the right place to file this, as it's about the vscode extension rather than jslint core. But it's page links to this github.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. To use this extension, you have to actively run the command to lint the file (by the context menu or key binding). There is no feature to automatically invoke the linter, such as on save. This issue is a request for such feature!

Describe the solution you'd like If appropriately enabled, when a javascript file is saved, the linter is run at this point.

Describe alternatives you've considered The "Andrew Hyndman" jslint extension, which is a good interface but lags behind in jslint version, lints on each character. This is good too.

• yes this is the right place to file
• +1 for manual, lint-on-save hotkey ctrl+shift+j s (or cmd+shift+j s for mac)
• -1 for automatic, lint-on-save
  • most javascript-in-the-wild follow conventions incompatible with jslint
  • more time will be lost trying to disable automatic lint-on-save (common-case), than gained from the feature
