I don't know (did you mean Flycheck or Flymake?). If you meant Flymake,
then the answer is yes.

One possibility would be: wait that it is (hopefully) present in the
next official emacs release, Emacs 26.1 and then wait that someone
writes a decent JS backend (what you call "linter" and Flycheck calls
"checkers") for it.

Another possibility would be: check out the most recent code and write
the backend yourself :-)

It took about 60 seconds but I'm not going to charge for the extra 30.

Also there is yet no m to rtf. Working on it.
