cordova-linter

Find common patterns in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that are incompatible with Apache Cordova and PhoneGap.

This project is deprecated. It was a beautiful idea that never took off. Feel free to fork it and make it awesome. I'm not doing any cordova work these days so my motivation just isn't there right now.

Getting Started

Install the tool with: npm install -g cordova-linter

Then lint a project with: cordova-linter path/to/your/project

Things The Linter Flags

• absolute paths in src or href attributes
• protocol-less paths in src or href attributes
• omission of a script tag loading cordova.js

Stuff That Needs To Be Implemented

• Find potentially problematic uses of load event when deviceReady is what is really needed.
• Issue #1: Flag techniques used to trigger deviceReady in the browser for testing if they should be removed from a production build.
• Detect CSS transitions that would benefit from hardware acceleration via the translate3d hack?
• Detect use of click event handlers without FastClick loaded
• Detect loading of phonegap.js instead of cordova.js
• Detect when an app isn't a single-page app? Or is that overkill? I mean, that's not really a lint thing, that's a whole app architecture thing.
• Documentation
• Examples
