cordova-linter

cordova-linter

Find common patterns in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that are incompatible with Apache Cordova and PhoneGap.

Getting Started

Install the tool with: npm install -g cordova-linter

Then lint a project with: cordova-linter path/to/your/project

Things The Linter Flags

• absolute paths in src or href attributes
• protocol-less paths in src or href attributes
• omission of a script tag loading cordova.js

Upcoming

I'll be doing these as I get a chance, but you should totally fork the project and implement these yourself, yo.

• Find potentially problematic uses of load event when deviceReady is what is really needed.
• Issue #1: Flag techniques used to trigger deviceReady in the browser for testing if they should be removed from a production build.
• Detect CSS transitions that would benefit from hardware acceleration via the translate3d hack?
• Detect use of click event handlers without FastClick loaded
• Detect loading of phonegap.js instead of cordova.js
• Detect when an app isn't a single-page app? Or is that overkill? I mean, that's not really a lint thing, that's a whole app architecture thing.
• What else?
