webpack config (@hint/parser-webpack-config)

The webpack-config parser allows the user to analyze the webpack configuration in their projects.

It will detect if a webpack configuration file is present in your project, checking the name of the file (webpack.config.json).

This package is installed automatically by webhint:

npm install hint --save-dev

To use it, activate it via the .hintrc configuration file:

{
    "connector": {...},
    "formatters": [...],
    "hints": {
        ...
    },
    "parsers": ["webpack-config"],
    ...
}

Note: The recommended way of running webhint is as a devDependency of your project.
