Usage

CSSLint Node.js API

To use it with the csslint api, you will have to call csslint, as well as assemble the report, manually.

var csslint = require('csslint').CSSLint;
var csslintStylish = require('csslint-stylish');

var report = csslint.verify(/* css as string here */);

// Format the report stylishly
var stylishReport = csslintStylish.startFormat() + csslintStylish.formatResults(report) + csslintStylish.endFormat();

// Then write it to the console
console.log(stylishReport);

csslint CLI

It's currently not possible to use a custom formatter with the CLI.

I have a PR with csslint that would make it possible. See CSSLint/csslint#593

gulp-csslint

It's currently not possible to use a custom formatter with the gulp-plugin.

See lazd/gulp-csslint#29

grunt-contrib-csslint

Starting with version 0.5.0, it's possible to use custom formatters with grunt.

See the example in their repo
