grunt-fixmyjs

library0.3.0jsnpmunverified

Grunt plugin to automatically fix silly JavaScript lint errors by running fixmyjs. Version 0.3.0 (latest) wraps fixmyjs as a Grunt task to fix lint issues like missing semicolons, curly braces, variable naming conventions, and more. Works with Grunt >=0.4.x and Node >=0.8.0. Supports configuration via .jshintrc, dry-run mode, diff/patch output. No longer actively maintained; prefer modern tools like ESLint with --fix.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

grunt.initConfig

✓ grunt.initConfig({ fixmyjs: { ... } })

✗ grunt.initConfig({ 'grunt-fixmyjs': { ... } })

The task name is 'fixmyjs', not the package 'grunt-fixmyjs'

grunt.loadNpmTasks

✓ grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fixmyjs')

✗ grunt.loadNpmTasks('fixmyjs')

Load the plugin by its npm package name

fixmyjs (config)

✓ fixmyjs: { options: { config: '.jshintrc' } }

✗ fixmyjs: { options: { config: true } }

The config option expects a file path or object, not a boolean

Install the plugin, configure fixmyjs task to read .jshintrc and fix all JS files in src/ outputting to fixed/.

npm install grunt-fixmyjs --save-dev // Gruntfile.js module.exports = function(grunt) { grunt.initConfig({ fixmyjs: { options: { config: '.jshintrc', indentpref: 'spaces' }, target: { files: [{ expand: true, cwd: 'src/', src: ['**/*.js'], dest: 'fixed/' }] } } }); grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-fixmyjs'); }; // Run: grunt fixmyjs

Known issues

deprecatedPackage is no longer maintained. fixmyjs itself is deprecated; use ESLint's --fix instead.

fix

Migrate to ESLint or Prettier for automated lint fixes.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingGrunt v0.4.x only. Does not work with Grunt v1.x automatically; may need peer dependency adjustment.

fix

Pin grunt to version 0.4.x or adapt plugin for Grunt 1.x.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe fixmyjs version bundled may be outdated and produce incorrect fixes or miss modern JS features.

fix

Use a newer standalone fixmyjs version if needed, but prefer ESLint.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaOption 'diff' and 'patch' output to stdout; if used in automation, ensure output is captured or suppressed.

fix

Set 'silent: true' to suppress output, or redirect stderr/stdout as needed.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors
