Allow type declaration with JSHint

Question

I try to validate some server side javascript with JSHint. Everything looks great so far, but i got problems with a syntax like this

var foo:type = bar;

The message is

Missing semicolon.

Expected '(end)' and instead saw ':'.

Is there any way to allow it?

No. In my case the Javascript (that is executed on an server) is only extend with the type. — Pudelduscher, Sep 10 '15 at 09:55
but, then it's no longer javascript... TypeScript would allow for just that ;) — Icepickle, Sep 10 '15 at 09:55
Ahh, ok. But than my question is still open. As is sayed, everythink works just perferct. Only this little thing is a problem. Is there no parameter or something like this i can use in JSHint to suppress this warning? — Pudelduscher, Sep 10 '15 at 09:59

JSHint says it is not valid JavaScript, which is true. You can suppress different warnings about coding style, but it does not (and really, should not) allow blatantly wrong code.

Anyway, you should try tslint. It was designed for TypeScript.
