Are .jshintrc files above the project loaded?

[bobrocke]

If my .jshintrc file is in my user directory, will the interactive linter load it from there, or must it be in the project folder?

@bobrocke sorry I haven't responded to your other issues/enhancement requests. Been swamped. But the answer this is no, interactive linter stops looking right the project directory. The proper use would be to open the directory with the .jshintrc, which is where you probably have other config files.

[bobrocke]

Would you consider adding the ability to search up though the folder hierarchy until a .jshintrc is found and use that? It would make it much easier, as that is the default for many other tools, and allows an individual to have a common standard, but then to modify that standard on projects that require differences.

@bobrocke This would be going against the "project" based approach in brackets. But while I am not really opposed to it, I would want to test it for a bit before committing to adding this functionality. Would you be interested in submitting a PR?

[bobrocke]

I have looked at your code. Is this something another person could work through?

[MiguelCastillo]

@bobrocke if you would like to play with the idea, this is the line you need to change. Remove filePath.indexOf(currentProject.fullPath) === -1 from the conditional.

Let me know if that works for you. Perhaps I will try it as well...
