JavaScript Conventions - GeoSmartCity-CIP/gsc GitHub Wiki

For example:

firstName = "John";

lastName = "Doe";

price = 19.90;

tax = 0.20;

fullPrice = price + (price * tax);

Spaces Around Operators:

Always put spaces around operators ( = + - * / ), and after commas. For Example:

var x = y + z;

var values = ["Volvo", "Saab", "Fiat"];

Code Indentation:

Always use 4 spaces for indentation of code blocks.

Statement Rules:

Always end a simple statement with a semicolon. For example:

var values = ["Volvo", "Saab", "Fiat"];

General rules for complex (compound) statements:

• Put the opening bracket at the end of the first line.
• Use one space before the opening bracket.
• Put the closing bracket on a new line, without leading spaces.
• Do not end a complex statement with a semicolon.

Line Length < 80

For readability, avoid lines longer than 80 characters.

If a JavaScript statement does not fit on one line, the best place to break it, is after an operator or a comma.
