I have edited a lot of javascript files in VIM. Checking errors in a lot of javascripts line is such a pain till i found JavasriptLint + VIM Plugin. Let get started, i use Ubuntu Natty 11.04 on this installation.
Updated!
You can fork it on Github :
Davepacheco’s javascriptlint Github
1. Install JavascriptLint
1 2 3 4 5 6 | cd ~/ wget -c http://www.javascriptlint.com/download/jsl-0.3.0-src.tar.gz tar -xvvf jsl-0.3.0-src.tar.gz cd ~/jsl-0.3.0/src/ make -f Makefile.ref sudo ln -s ~/jsl-0.3.0/src/Linux_All_DBG.OBJ/jsl /usr/local/bin/jsl |
2. Install JavascriptLint.vim
Download from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2578.
Or if youre using Vundle / Pathogen, then you can use this github :
http://github.com/joestelmach/javaScriptLint.vim.
Now, every you edit JS files, you will see error syntax checking windows in bottom of your VIM. Great tools!
