Syntax checking for appbuilder

[Tim]

Is there a jslint type tool for code edited within app builder in-browser client?

I'm fairly new to javascript (long time, very old  C/java type person). One thing that bugs me is when I make a typo and then try to run I often get a stacktrace that just says there is an issue with require('blahblah') ,and all I can take from that is that the included file has a problem. I then find myself perusing the code for the dumb syntax typo, which is time consuming.

Would I be better to be going to a local IDE tool/client?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Tim,

Adding JavaScript linter in the in-browser client is on our roadmap and should be ready soon. Meanwhile, you could try our Visual Studio extension, where you could use a linter of your choice.

Let us know should you have further questions or considerations.
