Coding Guidlines

Intro

These are our coding guidelines.

Git

Please provide new code to our most recent development branch and not directly to the main branch.

Indentation

We use 4 spaces, not tabs.

Names

• Use camelCase for function and method names
• Use camelCase for property names and local variables
• Use whole words in names when possible

Strings

• Use "double quotes" for strings

Style

• Open curly braces always go on the same line as whatever necessitates them
• Parenthesized constructs should have no surrounding whitespace. A single space follows commas, colons, and semicolons in those constructs. For example:

for (let i = 0, n = str.length; i < 10; i++) {
    if (x < 10) {
        foo();
    }
}

function f(x: number, y: string): void { }
