@hint/parser-css

CSS (@hint/parser-css)

The CSS parser is built on top of PostCSS so hints can analyze CSS files.

To use it you will have to install it via npm:

npm install @hint/parser-css

Note: You can make npm install it as a devDependency using the --save-dev parameter, or to install it globally, you can use the -g parameter. For other options see npm's documentation.

And then activate it via the .hintrc configuration file:

{
    "connector": {...},
    "formatters": [...],
    "hints": {
        ...
    },
    "parsers": ["css"],
    ...
}
