Tips for Vim users who also use jshint

[olalonde]

1. make sure your Syntastic is up to date (:PluginUpdate). standard support was only added a few months ago

2. If you use other syntax checkers, add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc and launch vim with vims to enable standard.

alias vims="vim -c \"let g:syntastic_javascript_checkers = ['standard']\""

Or alternatively let vim auto detect your config in root, defaulting to standard if none is found:

autocmd FileType javascript let b:syntastic_checkers = findfile('.jshintrc', '.;') != '' ? ['jshint'] : ['standard']

source

Anyone have a snippet to instead use ./node_modules/bin/standard?

[olalonde]

@yoshuawuyts nice. Do you have any idea on how I could have jshint as default and use standard only in projects which list it in package.json?

[yoshuawuyts]

@olalonde no idea, I'm not much of a viml expert. You could shell out to node or jq, read the json and check for the values you're expecting.

[olalonde]

@yoshuawuyts thanks, I'll see if I can come up with something.

[olalonde]

autocmd FileType javascript let b:syntastic_checkers = findfile('node_modules/.bin/standard', '.;') != '' ? [ 'standard' ] : [ 'eslint' ]

seems to work as expected.

as a neovim user i prefer https://github.com/benekastah/neomake. has built-in standard support and runs tools asynchronously (ie, no pause when you save files).
