1 | JSHint, A Static Code Analysis Tool for JavaScript |
2 | ================================================== | |
3 | ||
4 | JSHint is a community-driven tool to detect errors and potential problems in | |
5 | JavaScript code and to enforce your team's coding conventions. | |
6 | ||
7 | **IMPORTANT**: | |
8 | ||
9 | * This README is for people who are thinking about contributing to JSHint. For general usage | |
10 | please refer to [our website](http://jshint.com/). | |
11 | * If you want to report a bug about the website, please go to the | |
12 | [jshint/site](https://github.com/jshint/site/) repository. | |
13 | * If you want to report a bug or contribute to our NPM package, please go to the | |
14 | [jshint/node-jshint](https://github.com/jshint/node-jshint/) repository. | |
15 | ||
16 | Reporting a bug | |
17 | --------------- | |
18 | ||
19 | To report a bug simply create a [new GitHub Issue](https://github.com/jshint/jshint/issues/new) and | |
20 | describe your problem or suggestion. We welcome all kind of feedback regarding JSHint including but | |
21 | not limited to: | |
22 | ||
23 | * When JSHint doesn't work as expected | |
24 | * When JSHint complains about valid JavaScript code that works in all browsers | |
25 | * When you simply want a new option or feature | |
26 | ||
27 | Please, before reporting a bug look around to see if there are any open or closed tickets that | |
28 | cover your issue. And remember the wisdom: pull request > bug report > tweet. | |
29 | ||
30 | Submitting patches | |
31 | ------------------ | |
32 | ||
33 | The best way to make sure your issue is addressed is to submit a patch. GitHub provides a very | |
34 | nice interface--pull requests--for that but we accept patches through all mediums: email, issue | |
35 | comment, tweet with a link to a snippet, etc. | |
36 | ||
37 | Before submitting a patch make sure that you comply to our style. We don't have specific style | |
38 | guide so just look around the code you are changing. | |
39 | ||
40 | Also, make sure that you write tests for new features and make sure that all tests pass before | |
41 | submitting a patch. Patches that break the build will be rejected. | |
42 | ||
43 | **FEATURE FREEZE**: Please note that we currently have a feature freeze on new environments and | |
44 | styling options. The only patches we accept at this time are for bug fixes. | |
45 | ||
46 | Tests | |
47 | ----- | |
48 | ||
49 | To run tests you will need to install [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and | |
50 | expresso. You can install the latter with npm: | |
51 | ||
52 | npm install expresso | |
53 | ||
54 | After that, running tests is as easy as: | |
55 | ||
56 | expresso tests/*.js | |
