SHARPLINTER 1.1

https://github.com/jamietre/SharpLinter

Until I make a real web site, home page:

http://blog.outsharked.com/2011/08/sharplinter-command-line-tool-for.html

This is based on code written by Luke Page that was the predecessor
to his extension "JSLint for Visual Studio 2010:"

http://www.scottlogic.co.uk/2010/09/js-lint-in-visual-studio-part-1/

## Summary

SharpLinter is a command line tool to automate error-checking Javascript files (or HTML files with embedded Javascript) using JSLint or JSHint. It produces output that is formatted for Visual Studio's output window, so clicking on a line will locate the file and line in the IDE.

The output format is configurable, and is also suitable for any editor or tool that is designed to pass files to a command line tool and handle its output. Configuration instuctions for **Visual Studio 2010**, **Sublime Text 2**, and **Textpad** are provided below.

Each of the linting options can be specified in a configuration file as well (see below).

## Installation

Unzip the files "dist/sharplinter.zip" into a folder that's in your path. Some users may need to deal with msvcp100.dll and msvcr100.dll (see below).

## Distribution Details

If you compile it youself, all these files should be copied into the SharpLinterExe/bin folder.

SharpLinter.exe                     The executable.
    JTC.SharpLinter.dll                 The class library (if you want to use this from within another app)
    Noesis.Javascript.dll               Noesis Javascript.NET V8 runtime
    Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.dll            Yahoo YUI Compressor for .NET
    EcmaScript.NET.modified.dll         Distributed with Yahoo YUI

These are the MS VC++ runtimes and are needed by the Noesis Javascript V8 wrapper. You probably already have these.
    
    msvcp100.dll                         
    msvcr100.dll                       
    
Noesis project: <http://javascriptdotnet.codeplex.com/>
Yahoo YUI project: <http://yuicompressor.codeplex.com/>

Basic usage: Process all files in the current directory:

sharplinter *.js

Process a single file

sharplinter file.js

Process and minify upon success all files matching "*.js" to "*.min.js" using best compression method

sharplinter -ph best *.min.js *.js

Detailed usage:

sharplinter [-o options] 
			[-v[1|2|3]] [--noglobal]
            [-c sharplinter.conf] [-j jslint.js] [-y]
            [-p[h] yui|packer|best {mask}] [-k]
            [-i ignore-start ignore-end] [-if text] [-of "format"]
            [-[r]f /path/*.js] [{filemame1 filename2}]

Options:

-[r]f c:\scripts\*.js     parse all files matching "*.js" in "c:\scripts"
                              if called with "r", will recurse subfolders
                              The "f" is optional, any parameters passed 
                              without an option will be treated a file.
                              
    -o "option, option ..."    set jslint/jshint options specified, separated by
                              commas, in format "option" or "option: true|false"
                              
    -v1 or -v2 or -v3         be (terse) or (verbose) or (extremely verbose with debug info)

--noglobal                ignore global options file

-k                        Wait for a keytroke when done
    
    -c c:\sharplinter.conf    load config options from file specified. if omitted, will 
                              attempt to read a file 'sharplinter.conf' in the application
                              directory
    
    -j jslint.js              use file specified to parse files instead of embedded
                              (probably old) script. if omitted, will attempt first to
                              read the file 'jslint.js' from the application directory,
                              and will fall back on the embedded version.
                              
    -y                        Also run the script through YUI compressor to look for
                              errors
                              
    -i text-start text-end    Ignore blocks bounded by /*text-start*/ and
                              /*text-end*/
                              
    -if text-skip             Ignore files that contain /*text-skip*/ anywhere
    
    -of "output format"       Use the string as a format for the error output. The
                              default is:
                              "{0}({1}): ({2}) {3} at character {4}". The parms are
                              {0}: full file path, {1}: line number, {2}: source
                              (lint or yui), {4}: character

-p[h] yui|packer|best *.min.js      Pack/minimize valid input using YUI
                                    Compressor, Dean Edwards' JS Packer, or
                              whichever produces the smallest file. Output to a
                              file "filename.min.js". If validation fails,
                              the output file will be deleted (if exists)
                              to ensure no version mismatch. If  -h is specified,
                              the first comment block in the file /* ... */
                              will be passed uncompressed at the beginning of the
                              output.

## JSLINT/JSHINT options

The options passed with -o should be of the format:

"[option : value | option][,option: value | option]..."

Most options (except maxlen) are boolean, so the "value" is optional, in which case it will be set "true."
All options are false by default, and true disables or enables the specified behavior. In JSHINT, some options
have the opposite behavior as their JSLINT counterpart, and setting them "true" will actually enable rather
than disable a particular validation.

## Config File Format

A basic file is included. The file has up four sections. Each section is structured like:

/*sectiontitle  
    ...
    sectiontitle*/

Anything else in the file that is not found between these constructs will be ignored. Valid section names are jslint, global, exclude, and sharplinter. An example:

// set global options

/*jslint 
        browser: true, 
        wsh: true, 
        laxbreak:true,
        evil: true,
        eqeqeq: true,
        curly: true,
        forin: true,
        immed: true,
        newcap: true,
        nomen: false,
        onevar: true,
        undef: true,
        jquery: true	
    jslint*/

// define some globals

/*global 
	mynamespace,alert,confirm	
    global*/

// define paths for file exclusions. Wild cards only work for the file name part of the path, not the 
    // folders. Pattern matching within the path is therefore very simple, but wildcard matching for file names works

/*exclude
        *.min.js
        /temp/
        /test/
        /google-tracker.js
        /thirdp/
    exclude*/

// this section has only three options, as per below. The first two define a construct for ignoring blocks
    // within files. The text used, when found tightly wrapped in a comment block like:
       /*ignore-start*/
           //...
       /*ignore-end*/
    // will cause everything between the markers to be ignored.
    // The final option, ignorefile, if found anywhere in a script will cause the entire file to be ignored.

/*sharplinter
        ignorestart: ignore-start,
        ignoreend: ignore-end,
        ignorefile: lint-ignore-file
    sharplinter*/

# Visual Studio Integration

SharpLinter produces output that Visual Studio can use to take you to the file and line associated with each error. It's not an extension, so you need
to configure it as an external tool. Do the following:

1. Go to Tools -> External Tools
2. Create a new tool with title "SharpLinter" (or whatever you like).
3. Set "Command" to the path of the executable.
4. Set arguments to something like this:

-ph best *.min.js -f $(ItemPath) 
    
    This will process the active file and compress it to filename.min.js if validation passes.

5. Check "Output Window"

You are now done. You can lint a file with Tools-> SharpLinter. If you want to make life even easier, add a keyboard shortcut:

6. Go to Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard
7. Type "externalcommand" where it says "show commands containing:"
8. All the external commands appear as "Tools.ExternalCommand1" through "Tools.ExternalCommand20". These numbers are the ordinal order in which they appear in your list. Choose the right one.
9. Click on "Press shortcut keys" and type whatever you want. I like Alt+z. You may have to remove it from something else first.

You can also set it up to process all the files in your project. Make another entry in External Tools, but instead of specifying the active file, use a pattern in your file spec, and add "r" to recurse subfolders:

-rf $(ProjectDir)/scripts/*.js -x *.min.js -x /thirdparty/

for example, to process all files in the "scripts" subfolder of your project, but skip the folder "thirdparty" within "scripts" and don't try to process minimized files.

# Sublime Text 2

SharpLinter can be configured as a build tool for Sublime Text 2.

Select *Tools -> Build System -> New Build System*

Enter the following to create a build config that works against javascript files:

{
        "cmd": ["sharplinter","-ph","best","*.min.js", "$file"],
        "file_regex": "^(.*?)\$([0-9]+)\$: ()(.*)$",
        "selector": "source.js"
    }

The "cmd" property for Submlime Text 2 should contain the command followed by any options you want, so this could be as simple as

"cmd": ["sharplinter", "$file"],

to run SharpLinter with default options against the active file.

By default, build is bound to `ctrl+B` in Sublime Text 2. With the build config above, javascript files will be built using sharplinter.

# TextPad

SharpLinter can also be configured as an external tool in the Textpad editor.

1. Configure -> Preferences -> Tools and click "Add -> DOS Command"
2. Enter the full path to sharplinter.exe
3. Select the new tool from Preferences tree end edit options.
4. Edit "Parameters" so it is a complete command line with any options you want.
   Use "$File" for the current file, e.g.
   
    C:\Program Files\SharpLinter\SharpLinter.exe --ph best *.min.js -r $File

5. Enter the following regular expression:

`^$.*?$($[0-9]+$):.*?$`
   
6. Choose "1" for File, and "2" for Line under the regex input.

Now you're done. Set up a keyboard shortcut, and it will process the active file. You can click a line in the output window to jump to it in the editor.
