webhint

Quick start user guide

Once you have Node.js v8.x on your machine, you can use npx or install hint globally to use it.

Using npx

Run the following command:

npx hint https://example.com

This will analyze https://example.com using the default configuration.

Installing webhint globally

npm install -g --engine-strict hint

Create a .hintrc file by running this command and following the instructions:

npm create hintrc

Scan a website:

hint https://example.com

To use a different formatter than the one specified in your .hintrc file you can do the following:

hint https://example.com --formatters excel

To use a different hint than the one specified in your .hintrc file:

hint https://example.com --hints html-checker

Multiple hints can be specified as a comma sepreated string:

hint https://example.com --hints axe,html-checker
