ESLint adoption guide: Overview, examples, and alternatives
Emerging as a fork of JSLint, JSHint was introduced to offer developers more configuration options. Despite this, it remains less flexible than ESLint, particularly in terms of rule customization and plugin support, limiting its adaptability to diverse project needs. The last release dates back to 2022.

I’m trying to play Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo + but it keeps giving me an error. I’ve tried changing the folder location, and renaming the folder… I also tried English, Japanese, and even Chinese locale. Can anybody help?
There is an error in some file. Or maybe some wine shenanigans (never used it). You can try searching for the file item-possessionLimit.js and paste it into something like https://jshint.com/ to get an analysis and try to fix it. But it might give you further errors or file might be packed somewhere.

Find ES6 features in any JS code
I came across a problem where I had to find the ES6 features used by any javascript project and other data regarding their use. When I reached out to stackoverflow, I could find only one relevant post which asks you to use linters like jshint/jshint or compilers like babel. Jslint didn't seem to report anything specific to ES6 and Babel converts all the ES6+ features to ES5 but doesn't report anything regarding which constructs were used or how many times they were used. However, Jshint reported all ES6 features used in the code along with some metadata. And, to suit my needs, I ended up writing a python script that calls Jshint on all JS files in a project and presents the features used in the project and the number of times they were used across all files. You can find the code here : jsHintRunner

The Why & How To Create A Front-End Website Testing Plan
Javascript Linting parses and checks if any syntax is violating the rule. If a violation occurs, a warning is shown explaining unexpected behavior. Use the online version for small projects: JSLint, ESLint or JSHint. For larger projects, it is recommended to use a task runner like Gulp or Grunt. Linters ensure developers are following the best practices as a result of which few bugs appear during project development.

Week 9: Lab 6: Static Analysis Tooling
For the code formatter, I chose prettier. This is because my project uses javascript as its main language, and I felt like it would be a simple setup. Here's the link for prettier: https://prettier.io/

Lab 6 - Formatting and Linting
Prettier formatter is a VSCode extension and/or npm module that can be used to format code in a nice looking way with a simple command or the click of a button. I chose prettier as I had been using it already to format my documents in VSCode for quite a while now, and on my old PC had it set up for formatting on save from an older project in last year's cloud computing class. The documentation can be found here

Adding Static Analysis Tools to the Barrierless Project
Since Barrierless is primarily built in JavaScript, I decided to use Prettier as the project’s source code formatter. Prettier is a popular choice in the JavaScript community, known for enforcing a consistent code style automatically. With Prettier, formatting rules are predefined and eliminate the need for contributors to focus on stylistic details, allowing them to focus on the code logic itself.

Adding Static Analysis tools
For my source code formatter, I choose Pretter. It is very popular and I have seen it other projects but I never had to set it up from scratch so I wanted to do that. First thing I did was go to thier docs and followed their install instructions. I also updated the .prettierignore so that I could exclude the files and directories I don't want to be formatted. Then I ran
