Is JSLint available for offline use?

Question

I\'d like to use JSLint, but I am wary of tools that have access to my unfiltered source code. Is there an offline version or is there another similar tool that does \"

Answer 1

If you use TextMate, I've made a bundle that runs JSLint and displays the output in a graphical window. It's all self-contained; nothing else needs to be installed to use it:

Answer 2

I have JSLint with Node.js validating code in my deploy scripts to ensure I don't accidentally push code that could break my site. It can save a lot of time handling customer support issues later.

Answer 3

Yes:

• On Windows, use jslint.js + WSH.
• On systems that can run Rhino, use jslint.js + Rhino.

Basically, you just need an embedded JavaScript compiler to run jslint.js.

Answer 4

I have a tool for running JSLint from the command line with either the SpiderMonkey shell or Rhino. It also includes a plugin for Vim that allows you to press a button to automatically highlight any problem lines while editing a file:

Answer 5

JSLint can be run offline with either WSH or Rhino:

Edit: In the two years since this question was asked, JSLint has dropped support for Rhino and WSH. I encourage anyone interested in linting their code to also check out JSHint. It's a fork of JSLint which aims to be more flexible than the original, but also happens to support Node, Rhino, and WSH (in addition to browsers, of course).

Answer 6

If you're in a Java environment, you may find my jslint4java tool useful. It comes in a command line variant, and can also be integrated into an ant script. No GUI, because I suck badly at those. :-)
