I have a .jshintrc
at the root of my project with the following configuration:
{
"node": true,
"smarttabs": true,
"undef": true,
"unused": true
}
This is fine for all the node related stuff I have in the project, but not for the browser related scripts. Which are sitting in a subfolder.
Is it possible overwrite just the node
option while preserving the other options for a whole folder?
If I create another .jshintrc
file for the browser side folder I have to tell JSHint again about all my configurations, although I actually just want to unset the node
option.
I know that I can set this option in every file but I actually would like to avoid that.
Many thanks in advance!
Yes, there's a feature in jshint v2.5.1 that is "extends", for your example this could be like this:
/.jshintrc
{
"smarttabs": true,
"undef": true,
"unused": true
}
/server/.jshintrc
{
"extends": "../.jshintrc",
"node": true
}
/client/.jshintrc
{
"extends": "../.jshintrc",
"browser": true
}
You can read more about this feature here: https://github.com/jshint/jshint/releases/tag/2.5.1
