closure-linter-wrapper

Node Wrapper to allow access to Google Closure Linter from NodeJS

As Google Linter is coded in python, you MUST have python installed, and accessible in your PATH or specified in options.pythonPath.

This wrapper has bundled the Google Closure Linter v2.3.19.

Getting Started

Install the module with:

npm install closure-linter-wrapper

Execute the linter

var gjslint = require('closure-linter-wrapper').gjslint;
gjslint({
    flags: ['--nojsdoc'],
    src: ['test/files/error.js'],
    reporter: {
      name: 'console'
    }
  }, function(err, result) {
    if (!err) {
      console.log('Everything went fine');
    }
  }
);

Execute the automatic style fixer

Documentation

Source Files

If you want to specify single source files to be linted, just pass a src:[Array] to the gjslint function

gjslint({
    src: ['test/files/baz.js',
      'test/files/foo.js'
    ]
  }, function(err, result) {
    if (!err) {
      console.log('Everything went fine');
    }
  }

If you want to lint complete directories (and exclude single files), read about -r and -x flags below

Flags

The configuration flags allow you to customize all the behaviour of the linter. The flags are exactly the same flags you pass to the python linter, plus the flag for ommiting some errors

var gjslint = require('closure-linter-wrapper').gjslint;
var flagsArray = [
  '--nostrict',
  '--nojsdoc',
  '--disable 14'
];
gjslint({flags: flagsArray}, function (err, result){});

TIP: If you are using JetBrains WebStorm v6, you can enable gjslint. For doing this, you must provide a config.file with the flags passed to your linter. You can rehuse this config.file and pass it to this linter, by specifying in the --flagfile flag

Reporters

Some reporters to output lint information are bundled within this module. Add the reporter: reporterObject field to your configuration object passed on execution.

Console

Console reporter ouputs info to your console

var gjslint = require('closure-linter-wrapper').gjslint;
gjslint({
    flags: flagsArray
    reporter: {
      name: 'console'
    }
  },
  function (err, result) {
  }
);

gjslint_xml

The gjslint_xml reporter outputs xml format which is compatible with jslint reporter that can be used in Jenkins along with the Violations plugin. Add a dest option to set the destination if you want to save the file.

var gjslint = require('closure-linter-wrapper').gjslint;
gjslint({
    flags: flagsArray
    reporter: {
      name: 'gjslint_xml',
      dest: 'reports/gjslint.xml'
    }
  },
  function (err, result) {
  }
);

Python Path

Since Google Linter requires python, you must have it installed on your system. By default, it searches your PATH environment variable. Alternatively, you may specify the path to your python binary using the pythonPath option.

var gjslint = require('closure-linter-wrapper').gjslint;
gjslint({
    src: [...],
    pythonPath: '/path/to/my/python'
  }
)

Development

git clone --recursive [e-mail]:jmendiara/node-closure-linter-wrapper.git
cd node-closure-linter-wrapper
npm install
