Search for .jshintrc relative to file being linted

[respectTheCode]

It would be great to have an option to search for the .jshintrc the way the jshint cli works (working up the directory tree from the file being linted until a .jshintrc file is found).

Thanks for reporting this I'll be looking to do that next!

I was having an issue where I would open a subfolder of my actual project in Atom and the plugin wouldn't find the jshintrc file because it's a level or two above the project root. Implementing what jshint docs describe would fix this problem as well.

So +1 from me, too.

I'm hoping to get around to doing this today 👍

+1 this would be great.

Okay, so this has been part done thanks to the work of @sharky3112 :) The only part remaining is basing the search for the config file relative to the file you're editing.

I created a module to provide this functionality to gulp linter plugins, could be of some use here https://www.npmjs.org/package/rcloader

I'm in need of this one too! It would be quite useful to have different JSHint rules for tests so having a .jshintrc file in the test/ folder would really help.

Any word on the progress of this? ❤️

This is now resolved and live since version 1.3.0
