如何在Node.js中以编程方式使用JSHINT？

Question

I was using npm jshint package in command line tool, but now I want to use it programmatically. Documentation refers to this example, but it doesn't say how to include or require that JSHINT function

var source = [
  'function goo() {}',
  'foo = 3;'
];
var options = {
  undef: true
};
var predef = {
  foo: false
};

JSHINT(source, options, predef);

console.log(JSHINT.data());

Documentation refers that

JSHint exposes a JavaScript API for programmatic access in environments like web browsers and Node.js.

But exposes how ?

I installed the npm package locally (I want it locally)

npm install jshint --save

and I did as it's there and I get

JSHINT(code, JShintOpt);
^
ReferenceError: JSHINT is not defined

I also tried

const JSHINT = require('jshint');

But it doesn't work either.

Use the following:

const { JSHINT } = require('jshint');

Which is equivalent to:

const JSHINT = require('jshint').JSHINT;
