quick-lint-js is a fast, zero-configuration linter for JavaScript that finds bugs like undeclared variables, const reassignment, and syntax errors. It ships as a CLI, an LSP server, and editor plugins for VS Code, Vim/Neovim, Sublime Text, Emacs, and Kate.

Use cases

• lint javascript files for bugs without configuration
• catch typos in variable names while coding
• get instant lint feedback in vscode or neovim
• replace eslint with a faster minimal linter
• run a javascript linter from the command line
• lint jsx and typescript files

When to choose

• you want instant, zero-config linting with minimal rules
• you need a fast linter integrated into your editor via LSP
• you find eslint too slow or too complex to set up

When to avoid

• you need extensive customizable lint rules or plugin ecosystems like eslint's
• you need full static type checking (use TypeScript instead)
• you need linting for languages other than JavaScript/TypeScript
