JavaScript Syntax Check Helper

Implicit checks your JavaScript code and reports on potential errors with the syntax of the code. These are errors that cannot be found with a linter.

For example, can you see the error in the following code?

if(Object.keys(o) === 1) {
  console.log(o);
}

It should be:

if(Object.keys(o).length === 1) {
  console.log(o);
}

Implicit will generate an error if it encounters a mistake such as this.

Implicit is not a replacement for a linter. It is an additional tool that you run to check your code. A good place to put this is in a pre-commit hook.
