Using JSHint (Vim) with .html Files

Question

I just installed JSHint in Vim and so far it works as expected. The only thing I don't seem to get working is checking syntax in .html files (in .js it works flawlessly). Ie, when I have a <script> -Section in a .html File, it would like to get that checked as well upon saving the buffer or calling :JSHint .

What to do?

Answer 1

jshint added support for extracting js from inside html files about a month ago . It's the --extract option at the command line ( docs here )

I'm not sure which jshint plugin you're using, but if you can tweak the command-line params it passes to jshint, then you just need to add

--extract=always

and then somehow set jshint to also do linting for html files.

I'm trying to get this to work in syntastic...
