Pass options to jshint

[jlgrall]

A way to pass options directly to jshint, like what https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-jshint allows.

This is a blocker for me, I use different sets of scripts that need different options. Having a global config in the .jshintrc, then overwriting some options in the Brocfile.js would be nice.

You can either pass options to the plugin via the jshintrc option or override the getConfig method.

var tree = jshintTree(someTree, {
  jshintrc: { /* some custom jshint config here */ }
});

var tree = jshintTree(someTree, {
  getConfig: function(jshintPath) { 
    /* some custom jshint config logic here */ 
  }
});

@jlgrall, could adding a directory specific .jshintrc that merges with and overrides the properties on the root .jshintrc solve your problem?

Thanks for the answers.

@rwjblue: thx, you should add it to your doc.

@devinrhode2: I will see what is the best for me. Per directory .jshintrc is nice. I haven't decided if I prefer to have all configs in a single file or dispatched.

@jlgrall - I would happily accept a PR documenting.

Another thing missing: how to specify a reporter ? See reporter here: http://jshint.com/docs/cli/
