:command ("jsxhint" "--harmony" source)
:error-patterns
((error line-start (1+ nonl) ": line " line ", col " column ", " (message) line-end))

and syntax checking works as expected. However, when I add this code to init.el and restart emacs I am getting an error:
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/itkach/.emacs.d/init.el':
Symbol's function definition is void: flycheck-define-checker
and with --debug-init:

I had the same error with an earlier version and upgraded to latest from MELPA which did not fix it.
I also tried setting up the checker in after-init-hook hook - same issue.
Here's my init.el: https://bitbucket.org/itkach/emacsd/src/90ae3c36178080aa77a8ec3ef72d1c280a825fc0/init.el?at=default
