Are there equivalent to perl -c syntax check for JavaScript from command? Given that I have NodeJS installed?
JSLint is not considered as it is not a real parser. I think YUI compressor is possible but I don't want to install Java on production machines, so I am checking if Node.JS already provided this syntax check mechanism.
Try uglify. You can install it via npm.
Edit: The package name has changed. It is uglify-js.
After a spot of further research I regret having undone that down vote.
nodejs --help
explains the -p switch: it evaluates the supplied code and prints the results. So using nodejs -p < /path/to/file.js would be a disastrous way to check the validity of node.js code on your server. One possible solution is the one indicated in this SO thread. The one thing not so good about it - the syntax error messages it reports are not terribly helpful. For instance, it tell you something is wrong but without telling you where it is wrong.
