[![js-standard-style](https://cdn.rawgit.com/standard/standard/master/badge.svg)](https://github.com/standard/standard)

This is a summary of the [standard](https://github.com/standard/standard) JavaScript
rules.

The best way to learn about `standard` is to just install it and give it a try on
your code.

## Rules

* **Use 2 spaces** for indentation.

  eslint: [`indent`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/indent)

  ```js
  function hello (name) {
    console.log('hi', name)
  }
  ```

* **Use single quotes for strings** except to avoid escaping.

  eslint: [`quotes`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/quotes)

  ```js
  console.log('hello there')    // ✓ ok
  console.log("hello there")    // ✗ avoid
  console.log(`hello there`)    // ✗ avoid

  $("<div class='box'>")        // ✓ ok
  console.log(`hello ${name}`)  // ✓ ok
  ```

* **No unused variables.**

  eslint: [`no-unused-vars`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unused-vars)

  ```js
  function myFunction () {
    var result = something()   // ✗ avoid
  }
  ```

* **Add a space after keywords.**

  eslint: [`keyword-spacing`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/keyword-spacing)

  ```js
  if (condition) { ... }   // ✓ ok
  if(condition) { ... }    // ✗ avoid
  ```

* **Add a space before a function declaration's parentheses.**

  eslint: [`space-before-function-paren`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/space-before-function-paren)

  ```js
  function name (arg) { ... }   // ✓ ok
  function name(arg) { ... }    // ✗ avoid

  run(function () { ... })      // ✓ ok
  run(function() { ... })       // ✗ avoid
  ```

* **Always use** `===` instead of `==`.<br>
  Exception: `obj == null` is allowed to check for `null || undefined`.

  eslint: [`eqeqeq`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/eqeqeq)

  ```js
  if (name === 'John')   // ✓ ok
  if (name == 'John')    // ✗ avoid
  ```

  ```js
  if (name !== 'John')   // ✓ ok
  if (name != 'John')    // ✗ avoid
  ```

* **Infix operators** must be spaced.

  eslint: [`space-infix-ops`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/space-infix-ops)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  var x = 2
  var message = 'hello, ' + name + '!'
  ```

  ```js
  // ✗ avoid
  var x=2
  var message = 'hello, '+name+'!'
  ```

* **Commas should have a space** after them.

  eslint: [`comma-spacing`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/comma-spacing)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  var list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
  function greet (name, options) { ... }
  ```

  ```js
  // ✗ avoid
  var list = [1,2,3,4]
  function greet (name,options) { ... }
  ```

* **Keep else statements** on the same line as their curly braces.

  eslint: [`brace-style`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  if (condition) {
    // ...
  } else {
    // ...
  }
  ```

  ```js
  // ✗ avoid
  if (condition) {
    // ...
  }
  else {
    // ...
  }
  ```

* **For multi-line if statements,** use curly braces.

  eslint: [`curly`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/curly)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  if (options.quiet !== true) console.log('done')
  ```

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  if (options.quiet !== true) {
    console.log('done')
  }
  ```

  ```js
  // ✗ avoid
  if (options.quiet !== true)
    console.log('done')
  ```

* **Always handle the** `err` function parameter.

  eslint: [`handle-callback-err`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/handle-callback-err)
  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  run(function (err) {
    if (err) throw err
    window.alert('done')
  })
  ```

  ```js
  // ✗ avoid
  run(function (err) {
    window.alert('done')
  })
  ```

* **Declare browser globals** with a `/* global */` comment.<br>
  Exceptions are: `window`, `document`, and `navigator`.<br>
  Prevents accidental use of poorly-named browser globals like `open`, `length`,
  `event`, and `name`.

  ```js
  /* global alert, prompt */

  alert('hi')
  prompt('ok?')
  ```

  Explicitly referencing the function or property on `window` is okay too, though
  such code will not run in a Worker which uses `self` instead of `window`.

  eslint: [`no-undef`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-undef)

  ```js
  window.alert('hi')   // ✓ ok
  ```

* **Multiple blank lines not allowed.**

  eslint: [`no-multiple-empty-lines`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-multiple-empty-lines)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  var value = 'hello world'
  console.log(value)
  ```

  ```js
  // ✗ avoid
  var value = 'hello world'


  console.log(value)
  ```

* **For the ternary operator** in a multi-line setting, place `?` and `:` on their own lines.

  eslint: [`operator-linebreak`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/operator-linebreak)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  var location = env.development ? 'localhost' : 'www.api.com'

  // ✓ ok
  var location = env.development
    ? 'localhost'
    : 'www.api.com'

  // ✗ avoid
  var location = env.development ?
    'localhost' :
    'www.api.com'
  ```

* **For var declarations,** write each declaration in its own statement.

  eslint: [`one-var`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/one-var)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  var silent = true
  var verbose = true

  // ✗ avoid
  var silent = true, verbose = true

  // ✗ avoid
  var silent = true,
      verbose = true
  ```

* **Wrap conditional assignments** with additional parentheses. This makes it clear that the expression is intentionally an assignment (`=`) rather than a typo for equality (`===`).

  eslint: [`no-cond-assign`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-cond-assign)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  while ((m = text.match(expr))) {
    // ...
  }

  // ✗ avoid
  while (m = text.match(expr)) {
    // ...
  }
  ```

* **Add spaces inside single line blocks.**

  eslint: [`block-spacing`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/block-spacing)

  ```js
    function foo () {return true}    // ✗ avoid
    function foo () { return true }  // ✓ ok
  ```

* **Use camelcase when naming variables and functions.**

  eslint: [`camelcase`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/camelcase)

  ```js
    function my_function () { }    // ✗ avoid
    function myFunction () { }     // ✓ ok

    var my_var = 'hello'           // ✗ avoid
    var myVar = 'hello'            // ✓ ok
  ```

* **Trailing commas not allowed.**

  eslint: [`comma-dangle`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/comma-dangle)

  ```js
    var obj = {
      message: 'hello',   // ✗ avoid
    }
  ```

* **Commas must be placed at the end of the current line.**

  eslint: [`comma-style`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/comma-style)

  ```js
    var obj = {
      foo: 'foo'
      ,bar: 'bar'   // ✗ avoid
    }

    var obj = {
      foo: 'foo',
      bar: 'bar'   // ✓ ok
    }
  ```

* **Dot should be on the same line as property.**

  eslint: [`dot-location`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/dot-location)

    console.
      log('hello')  // ✗ avoid

* **Add space between colon and value in key value pairs.**

  eslint: [`key-spacing`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/key-spacing)

  ```js
  var obj = { 'key' : 'value' }    // ✗ avoid
  var obj = { 'key' :'value' }     // ✗ avoid
  var obj = { 'key':'value' }      // ✗ avoid
  var obj = { 'key': 'value' }     // ✓ ok
  ```

* **Constructor names must begin with a capital letter.**

  eslint: [`new-cap`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/new-cap)

## Semicolons

* No semicolons. (see: [1](http://blog.izs.me/post/2353458699/an-open-letter-to-javascript-leaders-regarding), [2](http://inimino.org/%7Einimino/blog/javascript_semicolons), [3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsfbh17Ax9I))

  eslint: [`semi`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/semi)

  ```js
  window.alert('hi')   // ✓ ok
  window.alert('hi');  // ✗ avoid
  ```

* Never start a line with `(`, `[`, `` ` ``, or a handful of other unlikely possibilities.

  This is the only gotcha with omitting semicolons, and `standard` protects you from this potential issue.

  (The full list is: `[`, `(`, `` ` ``, `+`, `*`, `/`, `-`, `,`, `.`, but most of these will never appear at the start of a line in real code.)

  eslint: [`no-unexpected-multiline`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-unexpected-multiline)

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  ;(function () {
    window.alert('ok')
  }())

  // ✗ avoid
  (function () {
    window.alert('ok')
  }())
  ```

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  ;[1, 2, 3].forEach(bar)

  // ✗ avoid
  [1, 2, 3].forEach(bar)
  ```

  ```js
  // ✓ ok
  ;`hello`.indexOf('o')

  // ✗ avoid
  `hello`.indexOf('o')
  ```

  Note: If you're often writing code like this, you may be trying to be too clever.

  Clever short-hands are discouraged, in favor of clear and readable expressions, whenever
  possible.

  Instead of this:

  ```js
  ;[1, 2, 3].forEach(bar)
  ```

  This is strongly preferred:

  ```js
  var nums = [1, 2, 3]
  nums.forEach(bar)
  ```

- [JavaScript Semicolon Insertion – Everything you need to know][2]

##### And a helpful video:

- [Are Semicolons Necessary in JavaScript? - YouTube][3]

All popular code minifiers in use today use AST-based minification, so they can
handle semicolon-less JavaScript with no issues (since semicolons are not required
in JavaScript).

##### Excerpt from *["An Open Letter to JavaScript Leaders Regarding Semicolons"][1]*:

> [Relying on automatic semicolon insertion] is quite safe, and perfectly valid JS that every browser understands. Closure compiler, yuicompressor, packer, and jsmin all can properly minify it. There is no performance impact anywhere.
>
> I am sorry that, instead of educating you, the leaders in this language community have given you lies and fear.  That was shameful. I recommend learning how statements in JS are actually terminated (and in which cases they are not terminated), so that you can write code that you find beautiful.
>
> In general, `\n` ends a statement unless:
>   1. The statement has an unclosed paren, array literal, or object literal or ends in some
>      other way that is not a valid way to end a statement. (For instance, ending with `.`
>      or `,`.)
>   2. The line is `--` or `++` (in which case it will decrement/increment the next token.)
>   3. It is a `for()`, `while()`, `do`, `if()`, or `else`, and there is no `{`
>   4. The next line starts with `[`, `(`, `+`, `*`, `/`, `-`, `,`, `.`, or some other
>      binary operator that can only be found between two tokens in a single expression.
>
> The first is pretty obvious. Even JSLint is ok with `\n` chars in JSON and parenthesized constructs, and with `var` statements that span multiple lines ending in `,`.
>
> The second is super weird. I’ve never seen a case (outside of these sorts of conversations) where you’d want to do write `i\n++\nj`, but, point of fact, that’s parsed as `i; ++j`, not `i++; j`.
>
> The third is well understood, if generally despised. `if (x)\ny()` is equivalent to `if (x) { y() }`. The construct doesn’t end until it reaches either a block, or a statement.
>
> `;` is a valid JavaScript statement, so `if(x);` is equivalent to `if(x){}` or, “If x, do nothing.” This is more commonly applied to loops where the loop check also is the update function. Unusual, but not unheard of.
>
> The fourth is generally the fud-inducing “oh noes, you need semicolons!” case. But, as it turns out, it’s quite easy to *prefix* those lines with semicolons if you don’t mean them to be continuations of the previous line. For example, instead of this:
>
> ```js
> foo();
> [1,2,3].forEach(bar);
> ```
>
> you could do this:
>
> ```js
> foo()
> ;[1,2,3].forEach(bar)
> ```
>
> The advantage is that the prefixes are easier to notice, once you are accustomed to never seeing lines starting with `(` or `[` without semis.
