API

BuenosJshint (class)

var $buenosJshint = require('buenos-jshint');

var instance = new $buenosJshint();

.log

The log object containing the status of the checked files.

.options

The parsed options object.

.promise

A promise that is resolved when the linter is complete. The log is provided as argument.

var $buenosJshint = require('buenos-jshint');

var instance = new $buenosJshint();
instance.promise.then(function (log) {
    // done processing!
    console.log(log);
});

reporter

The default reporter. Useful in case you want to combine your own reporter with the default reporter.

var $buenosJshint = require('buenos-jshint');

new $buenosJshint({
    reporters: [
        [ $buenosJshint.reporter, { path: './reports/buenos-jshint.json' }],
        myReporter
    ]
});

embeddedConfig

Returns the jshint config as embedded in the module.

var $buenosJshint = require('buenos-jshint');

console.log(
    $buenosJshint.embeddedConfig()
);

Reporters

You can specify your own reporters. A reporter is called as a function, the first argument being the log, the second argument being the reporter config (if defined).

var $buenosJshint = require('buenos-jshint');

new $buenosJshint({
    reporters: [
    
        // function, no config can be defined
        reporterWithoutConfig,
        
        // array of function, no config defined 
        [ reporterWithoutConfig ],
        
        // array of function and config obj
        [ reporterWithConfig, { myConfig: 'defined' } ]
    ]
});

function reporterWithoutConfig (log, config) {
    
    // log = BuenosJshint.log
    // config = undefined
    
}


function reporterWithConfig (log, config) {
    
    // log = BuenosJshint.log
    // config = { myConfig: 'defined' };
    
}
