JavaScript: The Good Parts

Members

Since JavaScript is a loosely typed dynamic-object language, it is not possible to determine at compile time if property names are spelled correctly. JSLint provides some assistance with this.

At the bottom of its report, JSLint displays a /*members*/ comment. It contains all of the names and string literals that were used with dot notation, subscript notation, and object literals to name the members of objects. You can look through the list for misspellings. Member names that were used only once are shown in italics. This is to make misspellings easier to spot.

You can copy the /*members*/ comment into your script file. JSLint will check the spelling of all property names against the list. That way, you can have JSLint look for misspellings for you:

/*members doTell, iDoDeclare, mercySakes,
    myGoodness, ohGoOn, wellShutMyMouth */
