While I have a specific question, I also am looking for some guidance. I trust this group, so I’m willing to open this can of worms here.
I’m looking at different JavaScript style guides to implement in the second half of the course that I am writing. I’ve settled on the JavaScript Standard Style (https://github.com/standard/standard). It seems reasonable, widely-used, and fits the style that I’m accustomed to using as a C# programmer, aside from the typical Java quirks inherited from the Sun’s implementation of K&R style. It also specifically supports TypeScript code.
One thing that’s missing from JavaScript Standard Style is a convention for naming constants. I can draw from other style guides, of course, but I’m curious as to what y’all use. Do you follow a style guide for your JavaScript / TypeScript code and, if so, which? What convention do you follow when naming constants?
Since no one else responded; for TypeScript I typically use UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES for constants that are intended to be used like class constants in java / macros in c (e.g. here in the particle effects). If it is just a local variable that I’ve made a constant because there is no current reason for it to be mutable, I camelCase it to match other local variables (e.g. here).
Awesome response; thanks, @jwunderl! I like the distinction between global/class constants and local constants. Thanks, too, for the examples! Much appreciated!
