yui-lint

library0.2.0jsnpmunverified

yui-lint provides the default JSHint configuration used by YUI and its packages. Version 0.2.0 is the latest stable release. The package defines a set of JSHint options (e.g., browser, node, curly, eqeqeq) that enforce YUI's coding standards. It can be used as a Node module, referenced from package.json scripts with jshint --config, or symlinked as a local .jshintrc file. The project appears to be in maintenance mode, as the YUI library is no longer actively developed, and the last release was several years ago.

Code

Verified usage

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

default

✓ var lint = require('yui-lint');

✗ import lint from 'yui-lint';

This package is CommonJS-only and does not provide an ESM entry. Use require() to load the configuration object.

package.json script usage

✓ jshint --config ./node_modules/yui-lint/jshint.json ./lib/*.js

✗ jshint --config jshint.json ./lib/*.js

The config file is jshint.json inside the yui-lint package, not jshintrc. Reference it by path within node_modules.

Symlink as .jshintrc

✓ ln -s $PWD/jshint.json ~/.jshintrc

✗ cp jshint.json ~/.jshintrc

Symlinking avoids copying the file and keeps it updated. The jshint.json file is at the root of the yui-lint package.

Installs jshint and yui-lint, then demonstrates three usage patterns: Node require, package.json script, and symlink as .jshintrc.

npm install jshint yui-lint # Option A: Use from Node script var lint = require('yui-lint'); console.log(lint); // { jshint options ... } # Option B: Use in package.json scripts # Add to package.json: # { # "scripts": { # "pretest": "jshint --config ./node_modules/yui-lint/jshint.json ./lib/*.js" # } # } # Then run: npm run pretest # Option C: Symlink as global .jshintrc ln -s ./node_modules/yui-lint/jshint.json ~/.jshintrc jshint ./lib/*.js

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedYUI (Yahoo User Interface) library and its ecosystem are deprecated. yui-lint is no longer maintained and may not receive updates for newer JSHint versions.

fix

Consider migrating to a maintained linter configuration or use ESLint with a modern config.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe jshint.json file in yui-lint is expected to be used with JSHint's --config flag. It is not a .jshintrc file by default.

fix

Reference the path correctly: --config ./node_modules/yui-lint/jshint.json

affects: >=0.1.0

breakingIn version 0.1.4, the 'undef' flag was added and set to true by default. This may cause lint errors for undeclared variables that were previously allowed.

fix

Ensure all variables are declared. Use /*global ... */ comments to declare globals if needed.

affects: >=0.1.4

gotchaThe 'jshint.json' file is shipped inside the package but may be overwritten if using a symlink that points to a removed or changed file.

fix

Use the Node require pattern to avoid file path issues: var lint = require('yui-lint'); then lint.jshintConfig.

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ReferenceError: jshint is not defined

JSHint is not installed or not in PATH when using command line.

Specifying the wrong config file name (jshintrc instead of jshint).

fix

Use the correct filename: jshint.json

Error: Cannot find module 'yui-lint'

fix
