Feature request: Lint when server starts

[ndabAP]

It would be cool to have automatically linting when running npm run dev instead of actively starting it with npm run lint.

Heya, you can achieve that by amending your dev script in package.json to the folllowing:

"dev": "nodemon src/index.js --exec \"node -r dotenv/config -r babel-register\" & npm run lint",

Does that help?

Hey, that works perfectly, thanks a lot! Why not adding this to package.json :) ?

[vmasto]

No worries. I'm not adding it because it very much depends on preference, most people want the server output be on a different terminal instance than the lint output, and they also lint inside their editors normally rather than on the terminal. It's a very easy change so I'm leaving it as is for now :) Thanks for your interest btw!

Just a minimal improvement:

"dev": "nodemon src/index.js --exec \"node -r dotenv/config -r babel-register\" | npm run lint"

This let's you kill both processes at once with Ctrl + C.
