Allows JSHint to be used from within sbt. Builds on com.typesafe:js-engine in order to execute jshint.js along with the scripts to verify. js-engine enables high performance linting given parallelism and native JS engine execution.

To use this plugin use the addSbtPlugin command within your project's plugins.sbt (or as a global setting) i.e.:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-jshint" % "1.0.4")

Your project's build file also needs to enable sbt-web plugins. For example with build.sbt:

lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(SbtWeb)

By default linting occurs as part of your project's jshint task. Both src/main/assets/**/*.js and src/test/assets/**/*.js sources are linted.

Options can be specified in accordance with the JSHint website and they share the same set of defaults. To set an option you can provide a .jshintrc file within your project's base directory. If there is no such file then a .jshintrc file will be search for in your home directory. This behaviour can be overridden by using a JshintKeys.config setting for the plugin. JshintKeys.config is used to specify the location of a configuration file.
