How to contribute
=================

The best way to make sure your issue is addressed is to submit a patch. We accept
patches through all mediums: pull requests, email, issue comment, tweet with a link
to a snippet, graffiti outside of Anton's apartment, etc.

However, before sending a patch, please make sure that the following applies:

* There is a corresponding issue. If there is no issue yet, create one before
working on your patch. Patches that come out of nowhere usually end up in
the end of our queue.
* Your commit message links to that issue.
* Your commit message is very descriptive ([example](https://github.com/jshint/jshint/commit/5751c5ed249b7a035758a3ae876cfa1a360fd144)).
* Your patch doesn't have useless merge commits.
* Your coding style is similar to ours (see below).
* Your patch is 100% tested. We don't accept any test regressions.
* All tests and lint checks pass (`node make.js test` and `node make.js lint`).
* You understand that we're super grateful for your patch.

Coding Style
------------

This section describes our coding style guide. You might not agree with it and that's
fine but if you're going to send us patches treat this guide as a law.

### Our main rule is simple:

> All code in any code-base should look like a single person typed it, no matter how
many people contributed. —[idiomatic.js](https://github.com/rwldrn/idiomatic.js/)

### Whitespace:

* We use hard tabs everywhere except for `src/stable/jshint.js`. It's annoying, we know.
* [Smart tabs](http://www.emacswiki.org/SmartTabs) are okay.
* Use one space after `if`, `for`, `while`, etc.
* Use one space after `function` for anonymous functions but not for named functions:
```javascript
var a = function () {};
function a() {}
```
* Feel free to indent variable assignments or property definitions if it makes the code look better. But don't abuse that:
```javascript

// Good
var next = token.peak();
var prev = token.peak(-1);
var cur = token.current;

var scope = {
name: '(global)',
parent: parentScope,
vars: [],
uses: []
};

// Bad
var cur = token.current;
var isSemicolon = cur.isPunctuator(";");
```
* Wrap multi-line comments with new lines on both sides.

### Variables

* Use one `var` per variable unless you don't assign any values to it (and it's short enough):
```javascript
var token = tokens.find(index);
var scope = scopes.current;
var next, prev, cur;
```
* Don't be overly descriptive with your variable names but don't abuse one-letter variables either. Find a sweet spot somewhere in between.

### Comments

* Use `//` for all comments.
* Comment everything that is not obvious.
* If you're adding a new check, write a comment describing why this check is important and what it checks for.

### Misc

* Always use strict mode.
* Always use strict comparisons: `===` and `!==`.
* Use semicolons.
* Don't use comma-first notation.
* Try not to chain stuff unless it **really** helps (e.g. in tests).
* Don't short-circuit expressions if you're not assigning the result:
```javascript

// Good
token = token || tokens.find(0);

// Bad
token.isPunctuator(";") && report.addWarning("W001");

// Good
if (token.isPunctuator(";"))
report.addWarning("W001");
```

Today we use JSHint's `white:true` to enforce some of these rules. Eventually we'll switch to JSHint Next style enforcing component. But it's not ready yet.

==================================================

JSHint is a community-driven tool to detect errors and potential problems in
JavaScript code and to enforce your team's coding conventions.
JavaScript code and to enforce your team's coding conventions. We made JSHint
very flexible so you can easily adjust it to your particular coding guidelines
and the environment you expect your code to execute in.

**IMPORTANT**:
Our goal is to help JavaScript developers write complex programs without
worrying about typos and language gotchas.

* This README is for people who are thinking about contributing to JSHint. For general usage
please refer to [our website](http://jshint.com/).
* If you want to report a bug about the website, please go to the
[jshint/site](https://github.com/jshint/site/) repository.
* If you want to report a bug or contribute to our NPM package, please go to the
[jshint/node-jshint](https://github.com/jshint/node-jshint/) repository.
We believe that static code analysis programs—as well as other code quality
tools—are important and beneficial to the JavaScript community and, thus,
should not alienate their users.

Submitting patches
------------------

The best way to make sure your issue is addressed is to submit a patch. GitHub provides a very
nice interface--pull requests--for that but we accept patches through all mediums: email, issue
comment, tweet with a link to a snippet, etc.
Installation
------------

Before submitting a patch make sure that you comply to our style. We don't have specific style
guide so just look around the code you are changing.
You can install JSHint via NPM:

Also, make sure that you write tests for new features and make sure that all tests pass before
submitting a patch. Patches that break the build will be rejected.
npm install jshint -g

**FEATURE FREEZE**: Please note that we currently have a feature freeze on new environments and
styling options. The only patches we accept at this time are for bug fixes.
We also provide platform wrappers for Rhino, JavaScriptCore and Windows Script Host. To
use them, clone this repo and run our build command:

Tests
-----
node make.js

To run tests you will need to install [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and
expresso. You can install the latter with npm:
Contributing
------------

npm install expresso
Look for a file named CONTRIBUTING.md in this repository. It contains our contributing
guidelines. We also have [a mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/jshint/).

After that, running the unit tests is as easy as:
