Using reporters

Reporters are small modules that can be used to perform actions with the lint results, for example printing something to the terminal or generate custom reports.

The reporter loading steps

  1. If nothing is passed, a simple, default reporter will be used. This will just print all the warnings/errors found.
  2. Pass the name of a Node module. If lesshint is installed globally only globally installed reporters are available (the normal Node module loading rules apply).
  3. Pass a absolute or relative path to a custom reporter anywhere on the disk. Relative paths will be resolved against process.cwd().

These steps always apply, no matter whether you're using the CLI or calling lesshint from code.

Using reporters from the CLI

lesshint --reporter my-super-awesome-reporter file.less
lesshint --reporter /path/to/my/super/awesome/reporter.js file.less
