Are there any coding standards for JavaScript? [closed]
Solution 1:
Not exactly what you're looking for, but (like Doug Crockford's vids) I think everybody who writes/edits/reviews JS should look at Chris Heilmann's slides and videos on maintainable javascript.
In the slides, slide 127, he says don't worry so much about style guides/code standards, reformat all code checked in to VCS.
Also these:
Mozilla JavaScript Tips
JavaScript Style Guide
Solution 2:
Another reason why Crockford's JavaScript coding guidelines are a good idea to follow:
This code (below) actually returns undefined because of JavaScript's semicolon injection - which is a damn good reason to get the whole team of developers singing from the same song sheet:
return // injected semicolon, therefore returns 'undefined'
{
javascript : "fantastic"
}; // object constructs anonymously but nothing happens with it.
