grunt-coffee-lint

0.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

A Grunt plugin to lint CoffeeScript files using coffee-lint. Currently at version 0.0.1 with no active development since 2013. Works only with Grunt ~0.4.1 and CoffeeScript. Not compatible with modern Node.js or Grunt versions. Lacks configuration options and has poor error reporting compared to alternatives like grunt-contrib-coffeelint.
