I was just wondering if there was any documentation or tutorials anyone knew about for creating a codemirror linter.
My goal is to refactor pyflakes into a codemirror linter.
Any suggestions for sites I should look at?

I need to do the same. Did you find any helpful material about this?

Perhaps you could explain more clearly what the linter is supposed to be doing exactly?

@shikhamehrotra Let me understand.
You have your CodeMirror instance with Python syntax highlighting, and you’d like to parse the python code using CodeMirror highlight, and use the tree to mark certain rules, is this right?
And the rules, you’d like to write the rules yourself for the lint?

@shikhamehrotra What would you like to do when you detect a flaw?
Would you just like to mark it with a style, like underline, or would you like to add something more complex?

Have you look at [@codemirror/lint - npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@codemirror/lint) ?
