Addy Osmani puts those two on the very top of full list of coding styles for JavaScript in his "JavaScript Style Guides And Beautifiers" article. I personally prefer jQuery standard, though it doesn't much differ from Idiomatic.js. But whatever standard you choose you will need a validator to check how successful you are following it.

Oct 17, 2017 · It's an easy to use, hassle-free coding style. Install it via: npm install standard --save-dev Then run through the rules just to quickly get a feel of it. Finally, create a script in your package.json to run StandardJS, when you need it: { "scripts": { "check": "standard" } } ...then you can run it via npm run check

There is no official, universal, convention for naming JavaScript files. There are some various options: scriptName.js; script-name.js; script_name.js; are all valid naming conventions, however I prefer the jQuery suggested naming convention (for jQuery plugins, although it works for any JS) jquery.pluginname.js

Feb 17, 2019 · We're working with a new company and they have a coding standard where they declare all Javascript variables used in a method immediately in the first line of the method. I asked if there was a reason they did this and was simply told it was their coding standard, so I googled and apparently it is indeed a recommended standard according to some ...

Mar 7, 2012 · The very popular JavaScript convention is to use PascalCasing as you call it for constructors (classes), for example String, Number, Date and camel casing for variable names and object keys.

May 2, 2013 · One aspect of javascript that it's hard to find information on is casing practices. By casing practices, I mean what casing style (ie. camel-case, pascal-case, etc) should be used for what elements (Constructors, private functions, public functions).

Dec 30, 2011 · It is like extension based on JavaScript, written on top of it. If you use some other JavaScript, you can still break existing JavaScript, but it is true with most programming languages. Anyway, how would you like to write code that uses jQuery, but does not use "standard JavaScript"? Please exaplain. –

Mar 31, 2011 · I've seen various JavaScript guides not worth linking here (mostly old and targeted at client-side JavaScript). I found one interesting node.js style guide. A coding style guide, or coding conventions, should include (but is not limited to): Code layout: indentation (2 spaces, 4 spaces, tabs, ...), newlines, line breaks, etc.

Nov 10, 2010 · In this case, there is no standard, little benefit to doing this over adding comments or explicitly specifying the global object rather than doing so implicitly. There is a lot of punishment for having inconsistent notation across code if you decide to change the way you denote a constant between files or projects.

Oct 14, 2009 · This style is somewhat native to Javascript; ECMAScript, for example (ECMA-262, 3rd and 5th editions) — which JavaScript and other implementations conform to — follows exactly this convention, naming built-in methods in camelcase — Date.prototype.getFullYear, Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty, String.prototype.charCodeAt, etc.
