JSHint
You can check your code with the JSHint linter which is already bundled with PhpStorm.
When JSHint support is enabled, PhpStorm highlights errors that JSHint detects, provides descriptions for them, and suggests quick-fixes where possible.
Descriptions of the errors detected in the current file and quick-fixes for them are available from the editor and from the Current File tab of the Problems tool window.
Errors in all previously opened files and quick-fixes for them are shown in the Project Errors tab of the Problems tool window. To open the tool window, click the Inspection widget in the upper-right corner of the editor:
See View problems and apply quick-fixes in the editor and Problems tool window for details.

Configure JSHint behavior in PhpStorm
Use config files- select this checkbox to apply JSHint rules from a custom configuration file, or from a .jshintrc file, or from a package.json, under the
jshintConfigproperty.Select the Default option if the rules are configured in a .jshintrc file or under the
jshintConfigproperty in a package.json. PhpStorm will first look for such configuration in the folder where the file to be checked is stored, then in its parent folder, and so on until the filesystem root is reached.Alternatively, select Custom configuration file and specify the file location in the Path field below.
