Coffeescript Linter

Required to work

• Create an eslint config eslint getting started
• Pipe files separated by a newline \n into command coffee-lint

Description

This is a simple linter that uses eslint to lint the javascript files produced by coffeescript.

The intention for this package is to remain a wrapper for simply mapping errors from coffeescript & eslint. All of the configuration is handled by an eslint config.

The package uses standard input for the files. The expectation here is that files are seperated by a newline \n

For example, and my personal use case, is I need to only lint the coffeescript files that are actually changed. So to do that we type the following command.

Using the Pipe (|) operator we can pass output into the next command.

git ls-files --exclude="node_modules/" -m -o | grep "**/*.coffee" | coffee-lint

This section produces a list of files excluding node_modules

git ls-files --exclude="node_modules" -m -o

This uses a glob pattern to only grab coffeescript files

 grep "**/*.coffee" 

This is the actual program taking in the piped input

coffee-lint

This package currently uses the stylish formatter for outputting errors, example below:
