Coding Standards for GitHub Repository

To ensure consistency, readability, and maintainability of our codebase, please adhere to the following coding standards:

General Guidelines

  1. Naming Conventions:

    • Use meaningful and descriptive names for variables, functions, classes, and files.
    • Follow camelCase for JavaScript/TypeScript variables and functions, PascalCase for classes, and kebab-case for file names.

  2. Indentation and Formatting:

    • Use a consistent indentation style (e.g., 2 spaces or tabs).
    • Follow a consistent code formatting style throughout the project.
    • Remove any trailing whitespace.

  3. Comments:

    • Add comments to explain complex logic, algorithms, or non-obvious code sections.
    • Use clear and concise comments, avoiding redundant or unnecessary comments.

  4. Error Handling:

    • Implement proper error handling mechanisms, including try-catch blocks where necessary.
    • Use meaningful error messages to assist in debugging.

  5. Code Reusability:

    • Encapsulate reusable code into functions, classes, or modules for better maintainability.
    • Avoid code duplication by refactoring common functionality into shared components.

Language-Specific Guidelines

JavaScript/TypeScript

  1. ESLint:

    • Use ESLint with a predefined configuration to enforce coding standards and catch potential issues.
    • Ensure ESLint rules are followed and resolve any reported errors or warnings.

  2. Variable Declarations:

    • Declare variables using let or const based on their mutability.
    • Avoid using var for variable declarations.

  3. Async/Await:

    • Prefer using async/await for asynchronous operations over callbacks or Promises for cleaner and more readable code.

HTML/CSS

  1. HTML Semantics:

    • Use semantic HTML elements (e.g., <header>, <nav>, <section>, <footer>) for improved accessibility and SEO.

  2. CSS Styling:

    • Organize CSS styles logically and use consistent naming conventions.
    • Consider using a preprocessor like Sass for better code organization and reusability.

Git and Version Control

  1. Branching:

    • Follow a branching strategy (e.g., Git Flow) for managing feature development, bug fixes, and releases.

  2. Commit Messages:

    • Write clear and descriptive commit messages that explain the purpose of each commit.
    • Use imperative mood (e.g., "Add feature" instead of "Added feature").

  3. Pull Requests:

    • Create a separate branch for each feature or bug fix and submit pull requests for code review.
    • Address any feedback or suggestions from code reviews before merging into the main branch.

Additional Resources

  • Code Reviews:
    • Participate in code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards, identify bugs, and share knowledge within the team.
  • Documentation:
    • Maintain comprehensive documentation for the project, including setup instructions, API documentation, and coding guidelines.
  • Continuous Integration:
    • Use CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, code quality checks, and deployment processes.

Thank you for following these coding standards. Consistent coding practices contribute to a robust and collaborative development environment. Happy coding!
