lint_js {rhino}

Lint JavaScript

Description

Runs ESLint on the JavaScript sources in the app/js directory. Requires Node.js to be available on the system.

Usage

lint_js(fix = FALSE)

Arguments

fix

Automatically fix problems.

Details

If your JS code uses global objects defined by other JS libraries or R packages, you'll need to let the linter know or it will complain about undefined objects. For example, the {leaflet} package defines a global object L. To access it without raising linter errors, add ⁠/* global L */⁠ comment in your JS code.

You don't need to define Shiny and $ as these global variables are defined by default.

If you find a particular ESLint error inapplicable to your code, you can disable a specific rule for the next line of code with a comment like:

// eslint-disable-next-line no-restricted-syntax

See the ESLint documentation for full details.

Value

None. This function is called for side effects.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  # Lint the JavaScript sources in the `app/js` directory.
  lint_js()
}
