Should I use jshint or eslint to lint a jquery plugin?

Question

I can't grasp the Jshint instructions in the JQuery style guide at : https://contribute.jquery.org/style-guide/js/#linting

Jshint can't be found on JQuery core github. I can't see any .jshintrc file in the source. It's plenty of eslint stuff, though, but with no clear instruction.

What should I do in order to lint the JQuery way ?

Answer 1

Documentation says:

The following common options must be used in all projects: { "boss": true, "curly": true, "eqeqeq": true, "eqnull": true, "expr": true, "immed": true, "noarg": true, "quotmark": "double", "smarttabs": true, "trailing": true, "undef": true, "unused": true }

so just create a .jshintrc file with that content in your project's root and run jshint (which you've already installed, right?) or use grunt-jshint if you like complications.
