Sublime Text JSHint Package

Sublime-JSHint is a plugin for graphically displaying lint results in ST2 and ST3.

This is a Sublime Text 2 and 3 plugin allowing you to check your JavaScript code for nasty errors, coding conventions and other goodies. It relies on JSHint, a fork of JSLint (developed by Douglas Crockford). The linter is itself written in JavaScript, so you'll need something (node.js) to interpret JavaScript code outside the browser.

From your command line run the following command (add -g to install globally on your system):

I have added "Ext": false to globals for ExtJS use.
