Title

Creating Lint Bears with coala

Abstract

coala is a simple COde AnaLysis Application. Its goal is to make static code analysis easy while remaining completely modular and therefore extendable and language independent.

Long Description

coala can perform code analysis through Bears and in this workshop, I will focus on how to create your own Linter Bear. A Linter Bear provides an interface to the actual linter executable and through an awesome API which coala provides, it makes linting files very easy process.

For example, this is an HTML Lint bear which provides an interface to html-linter. During this workshop, participants will choose a Lint executable for which a bear hasn't been created in coala-bears and the complete process of creating a bear and getting it accepted into upstream repository will be demonstrated to the audience. So, with this workshop people new to FOSS community will also be benefitted.
