Use the following coding guidelines when creating and editing players.

Naming

Use the following naming conventions:

Convention Explanation
Function functionNamesLikeThis
Variable variableNamesLikeThis
Class ClassNamesLikeThis
Enum EnumNamesLikeThis
Constant CONSTANT_VALUES_LIKE_THIS
Private Private properties and methods should be named with a leading underscore: _myPrivateVar
Public Public properties and methods should be named without a leading underscore: myPublicVar.

Strings

Prefer ' over "

For consistency’s sake, single-quotes (‘) are preferable to double-quotes (“). This is especially important when creating strings that include HTML:

var h1 = '<h1>This is some HTML</h1>';

Functions

Parameters

Function parameters must be declared with their types:

function exampleFunction(text: String, obj: Object, ... )

Function parameters must be typed with JSDoc annotations in the JSDoc preceding the function’s definition.

Return Value

The functions return value type must be appear in the function declaration:

function exampleFunction( ... ): Promise<*> {
  ...
}

The function return types must be specified in the JSDoc directly above the function definition.

Arrow Functions

  • It’s better to use arrow functions over f.bind(this), and especially over kalt.bind(f, this).
  • Avoid writing var self = this.
  • Arrow functions are particularly useful for callbacks, which sometimes pass unexpected additional arguments.

Braces

Braces are requires for all control structures (e.g., if, else, for, do, while as well as any others), even if the body contains only a single statement. The first statement of a non-empty block must begin in its own line.

Short if statements that look like this are ill-advised:

if (someCondition) doSomething();

for (let i = 0; i < foo.length; i++) bar(foo[i]);

Instead use brackets like this:

if (someCondition) {

   doSomething();

}

Block Indentation

Block indentation is +2 spaces. Each time a new block or block-like construct is opened, the indent increases by two spaces. When the block ends, the indent returns to the previous indent level. The indent level applies to both code and comments throughout the block.

Flow

Type names must start with a Capital letter (pascal case), e.g.:

type CategoryType = {[category: string]: number};
export type {CategoryType};
