What’s new in the v1 release
Soon after the v1 release of the browser extension, we went to work adding some highly-requested features for the VS Code extension (and fixed a few bugs in the process). Here are a few of the highlights.
Hint severity
We’ve reviewed and set a default severity (“Error,” “Warning,” etc.) for every message generated by webhint based on impact. This should help you focus on the most important issues first.
Support for TypeScript and JSX/TSX filetypes
Developers who use TypeScript and/or React will be happy to hear that HTML and JavaScript hints now run against TypeScript files as well as templated JSX and TSX files.
Support for LESS and SASS
Additionally, we’ve added webhint support for filetypes associated with CSS preprocessors LESS and SASS.
Additional improvements and bug fixes
