Without additional information, it's unclear what this is even asking for.

It would be useful if we had a --watch option that prevents process from quitting and in case of change relinting changed files only.

Anyone come across plugins or forks which have a watch or continuous mode?

I've gotten it to work by having separate watch tools. In my case it was for my npm scripts setup with the nodemon powered npm-watch .

  "watch": {
    "standardlint": "assets/js"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "watch": "npm-watch",
    "standardlint" : "standard assets/js/main.js",
}

Then just run the watch task and to carry out the monitoring and running of the `standard`` lnter

$ npm run watch

For more direct command line usage, you can probably use nodemon directly with something like nodemon --watch assets/js/main.js --exec "standard assets/js/main.js"

I agree that a --watch flag would be a nice convenience addition. It's got plenty of conventional examples in similar tools (similar to eslint-watch postcss-watch, ...). It can also be handy in npm scripts, for watch tasks to just pass npm run lint:js -- --watch to one time run tasks.

Will it lint only changed files or all?

the no-unused-vars rule in standard js is going to be annoying during development when u have watch on, i think it makes more sense to run linting during pre-commit instead of during active development
