history
Project history and usage
quick-lint-js is a fast JavaScript linter available as a command-line program, editor integration, and Language Server Protocol implementation.
Project history
quick-lint-js was created as a JavaScript bug finder with a strong emphasis on speed. The project subsequently developed a CLI, editor plugins, a language server, a documented configuration format, and an extensive diagnostic catalog.
Adoption history
The project is distributed as a standalone command and through editor integrations. Its official installation documentation covers multiple package ecosystems, while its release notes record continued maintenance of integrations including Homebrew and Neovim.
How it is used
Developers run `quick-lint-js` directly in terminals or invoke it through supported editor plugins and LSP clients. A `quick-lint-js.config` file can define project globals and related linting behavior.
Why package nerds care
quick-lint-js is notable as a purpose-built, native JavaScript linter rather than a Node.js-hosted linting stack. That makes it attractive where fast startup, editor responsiveness, and a small command-line toolchain matter.
Timeline
- Initial development: Created as a fast native linter for JavaScript programs.
- Later development: Added editor integrations, LSP support, project configuration, and a maintained diagnostic reference.
- Current era: Continues to publish detailed release notes and package/editor integration fixes.
Related projects
- Its language-server mode connects it to LSP-capable editors, while its role overlaps with JavaScript linting tools such as ESLint without sharing their plugin-centered architecture.
