There’s an easier way of doing pre-commit checks (e.g. JSHint) in your Node.js workflow:
Install jshint from NPM:
npm install jshint
Next create a .jshintrc file in your project if you don’t already have one.
e.g: https://github.com/nelsonic/learn-jshint/blob/master/.jshintrc
Now install pre-commit module (and save it as a dev dependency):
npm install pre-commit --save-dev
Next you will need to define the task (script) that will be run for JSHint in your package.json
e.g:
{ "scripts": { "jshint": "jshint -c .jshintrc --exclude-path .gitignore ." } }
then you register the scripts you want to be run pre-commit (also in package.json) e.g:
"pre-commit": [ "jshint", "coverage", "etc" ]
This allows you to have more than just one check in your pre-commit workflow.
(We have checks to ensure team members code complies with JSHint, Code Style and Test Coverage is 100%)
