JSCS — JavaScript Code Style.

jscs is a code style checker. jscs can check cases, which are not implemeted in jshint, but it does not duplicate jshint functionality, so you should use jscs and jshint together.

Installation

jscs can be installed using npm:

npm install jscs

To run jscs, you can use the following command from the project root:

./node_modules/.bin/jscs path[ path[...]]

Configuration

jscs is configured using .jscs.json file, located in the project root.

Example configuration:
