Integration with Rails Assets Pipeline

[bsides]

Hi,

I don't consider this an issue, but it would be awesome if this could read JS files with require directives from Rails assets pipeline. Example:

I have a file called info.js that reads:

//= require jquery
function initializeJSPlugins($target) {
  if ( $target === undefined ) { $target = $("body"); }
}

JSHint tells me that $ is undefined, but only bacuase it didn't read the line //= require jquery properly. I'm not asking it to JSHint jquery, just this file, but after reading jquery... does that make any sense?

If my request does make sense and there's any way to make this to work please let me know. Thanks in advance 👍

In the meantime, you could try adding those globals into the configuration file. See the readme.
