Types

Primitives: When you access a primitive type you work directly on its value
- string
- number
- boolean
- null
- undefined
```
var foo = 1,
    bar = foo;

bar = 9;

console.log(foo, bar); // => 1, 9
```

Complex: When you access a complex type you work on a reference to its value

object
array
function

var foo = [1, 2],
    bar = foo;

bar[0] = 9;

console.log(foo[0], bar[0]); // => 9, 9

Objects

Use the literal syntax for object creation.

// bad
var item = new Object();

// good
var item = {};

Don't use reserved words as keys. It won't work in IE8. More info

// bad
var superman = {
    default: { clark: 'kent' },
    private: true
};

// good
var superman = {
    defaults: { clark: 'kent' },
    hidden: true
};

Use readable synonyms in place of reserved words.

// bad
var superman = {
    class: 'alien'
};

// bad
var superman = {
    klass: 'alien'
};

// good
var superman = {
    type: 'alien'
};

⬆ back to top

Arrays

Use the literal syntax for array creation

// bad
var items = new Array();

// good
var items = [];

If you don't know array length use Array#push.

var someStack = [];


// bad
someStack[someStack.length] = 'abracadabra';

// good
someStack.push('abracadabra');

When you need to copy an array use Array#slice. jsPerf

var len = items.length,
    itemsCopy = [],
    i;

// bad
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    itemsCopy[i] = items[i];
}

// good
itemsCopy = items.slice();

To convert an array-like object to an array, use Array#slice.

function trigger() {
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
    ...
}

⬆ back to top

Strings

Use single quotes '' for strings

// bad
var name = "Bob Parr";

// good
var name = 'Bob Parr';

// bad
var fullName = "Bob " + this.lastName;

// good
var fullName = 'Bob ' + this.lastName;

Strings longer than 80 characters should be written across multiple lines using string concatenation.

Note: If overused, long strings with concatenation could impact performance. jsPerf & Discussion

// bad
var errorMessage = 'This is a super long error that was thrown because of Batman. When you stop to think about how Batman had anything to do with this, you would get nowhere fast.';

// bad
var errorMessage = 'This is a super long error that was thrown because \
of Batman. When you stop to think about how Batman had anything to do \
with this, you would get nowhere \
fast.';

// good
var errorMessage = 'This is a super long error that was thrown because ' +
    'of Batman. When you stop to think about how Batman had anything to do ' +
    'with this, you would get nowhere fast.';

When programmatically building up a string, use Array#join instead of string concatenation. Mostly for IE: jsPerf.

var items,
    messages,
    length,
    i;

messages = [{
    state: 'success',
    message: 'This one worked.'
}, {
    state: 'success',
    message: 'This one worked as well.'
}, {
    state: 'error',
    message: 'This one did not work.'
}];

length = messages.length;

// bad
function inbox(messages) {
    items = '<ul>';

    for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        items += '<li>' + messages[i].message + '</li>';
    }

    return items + '</ul>';
}

// good
function inbox(messages) {
    items = [];

    for (i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        items[i] = messages[i].message;
    }

    return '<ul><li>' + items.join('</li><li>') + '</li></ul>';
}

Functions

Function expressions:

// anonymous function expression
var anonymous = function() {
    return true;
};

// named function expression
var named = function named() {
    return true;
};

// immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE)
(function() {
    console.log('Welcome to the Internet. Please follow me.');
})();

Never declare a function in a non-function block (if, while, etc). Assign the function to a variable instead. Browsers will allow you to do it, but they all interpret it differently, which is bad news bears.

Note: ECMA-262 defines a block as a list of statements. A function declaration is not a statement. Read ECMA-262's note on this issue.

// bad
if (currentUser) {
    function test() {
        console.log('Nope.');
    }
}

// good
var test;
if (currentUser) {
    test = function test() {
        console.log('Yup.');
    };
}

Never name a parameter arguments, this will take precedence over the arguments object that is given to every function scope.

// bad
function nope(name, options, arguments) {
    // ...stuff...
}

// good
function yup(name, options, args) {
    // ...stuff...
}

Properties

Use dot notation when accessing properties.

var luke = {
    jedi: true,
    age: 28
};

// bad
var isJedi = luke['jedi'];

// good
var isJedi = luke.jedi;

Use subscript notation [] when accessing properties with a variable.

var luke = {
    jedi: true,
    age: 28
};

function getProp(prop) {
    return luke[prop];
}

var isJedi = getProp('jedi');

⬆ back to top

Variables

Always use var to declare variables. Not doing so will result in global variables. We want to avoid polluting the global namespace. Captain Planet warned us of that.
```
// bad
superPower = new SuperPower();

// good
var superPower = new SuperPower();
```

Use one var declaration for multiple variables and declare each variable on a newline.

// bad
var items = getItems();
var goSportsTeam = true;
var dragonball = 'z';

// good
var items = getItems(),
    goSportsTeam = true,
    dragonball = 'z';

Declare unassigned variables last. This is helpful when later on you might need to assign a variable depending on one of the previous assigned variables.

// bad
var i, len, dragonball,
    items = getItems(),
    goSportsTeam = true;

// bad
var i, items = getItems(),
    dragonball,
    goSportsTeam = true,
    len;

// good
var items = getItems(),
    goSportsTeam = true,
    dragonball,
    length,
    i;

Assign variables at the top of their scope. This helps avoid issues with variable declaration and assignment hoisting related issues.

// bad
function() {
    test();
    console.log('doing stuff..');

    //..other stuff..

    var name = getName();

    if (name === 'test') {
        return false;
    }

    return name;
}

// good
function() {
    var name = getName();

    test();
    console.log('doing stuff..');

    //..other stuff..

    if (name === 'test') {
        return false;
    }

    return name;
}

// bad
function() {
    var name = getName();

    if (!arguments.length) {
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

// good
function() {
    if (!arguments.length) {
        return false;
    }

    var name = getName();

    return true;
}

⬆ back to top

Hoisting

Variable declarations get hoisted to the top of their scope, their assignment does not.

// we know this wouldn't work (assuming there
// is no notDefined global variable)
function example() {
    console.log(notDefined); // => throws a ReferenceError
}

// creating a variable declaration after you
// reference the variable will work due to
// variable hoisting. Note: the assignment
// value of `true` is not hoisted.
function example() {
    console.log(declaredButNotAssigned); // => undefined
    var declaredButNotAssigned = true;
}

// The interpreter is hoisting the variable
// declaration to the top of the scope.
// Which means our example could be rewritten as:
function example() {
    var declaredButNotAssigned;
    console.log(declaredButNotAssigned); // => undefined
    declaredButNotAssigned = true;
}

Anonymous function expressions hoist their variable name, but not the function assignment.

function example() {
    console.log(anonymous); // => undefined

    anonymous(); // => TypeError anonymous is not a function

    var anonymous = function() {
        console.log('anonymous function expression');
    };
}

Named function expressions hoist the variable name, not the function name or the function body.

function example() {
    console.log(named); // => undefined

    named(); // => TypeError named is not a function

    superPower(); // => ReferenceError superPower is not defined

    var named = function superPower() {
        console.log('Flying');
    };
}

// the same is true when the function name
// is the same as the variable name.
function example() {
    console.log(named); // => undefined

    named(); // => TypeError named is not a function

    var named = function named() {
        console.log('named');
    }
}

Function declarations hoist their name and the function body.

function example() {
    superPower(); // => Flying

    function superPower() {
        console.log('Flying');
    }
}

Conditional Expressions & Equality

Use === and !== over == and !=.
Conditional expressions are evaluated using coercion with the ToBoolean method and always follow these simple rules:
- Objects evaluate to true
- Undefined evaluates to false
- Null evaluates to false
- Booleans evaluate to the value of the boolean
- Numbers evaluate to false if +0, -0, or NaN, otherwise true
- Strings evaluate to false if an empty string '', otherwise true
```
if ([0]) {
    // true
    // An array is an object, objects evaluate to true
}
```

Use shortcuts.

// bad
if (name !== '') {
    // ...stuff...
}

// good
if (name) {
    // ...stuff...
}

// bad
if (collection.length > 0) {
    // ...stuff...
}

// good
if (collection.length) {
    // ...stuff...
}

For more information see Truth Equality and JavaScript by Angus Croll

Blocks

Use braces with all multi-line blocks.

// bad
if (test)
    return false;

// good
if (test) return false;

// good
if (test) {
    return false;
}

// bad
function() { return false; }

// good
function() {
    return false;
}

⬆ back to top

Comments

Use /** ... */ for multiline comments. Include a description, specify types and values for all parameters and return values.

// bad
// make() returns a new element
// based on the passed in tag name
//
// @param <String> tag
// @return <Element> element
function make(tag) {

    // ...stuff...

    return element;
}

// good
/**
 * make() returns a new element
 * based on the passed in tag name
 *
 * @param <String> tag
 * @return <Element> element
 */
function make(tag) {

    // ...stuff...

    return element;
}

Use // for single line comments. Place single line comments on a newline above the subject of the comment. Put an empty line before the comment.

// bad
var active = true;  // is current tab

// good
// is current tab
var active = true;

// bad
function getType() {
    console.log('fetching type...');
    // set the default type to 'no type'
    var type = this._type || 'no type';

    return type;
}

// good
function getType() {
    console.log('fetching type...');

    // set the default type to 'no type'
    var type = this._type || 'no type';

    return type;
}

Prefixing your comments with DNR, FIXME, or TODO helps other developers quickly understand if you're pointing out a problem that needs to be revisited, or if you're suggesting a solution to the problem that needs to be implemented. These are different than regular comments because they are actionable. The actions are FIXME -- need to figure this out or TODO -- need to implement.

Use // DNR to mark code which should not be released under any circumstances

function Calculator() {

    window.total = this.total; // DNR

    return this;
}

Use // FIXME: to annotate problems

function Calculator() {

    // FIXME: shouldn't use a global here
    total = 0;

    return this;
}

Use // TODO: to annotate solutions to problems

function Calculator() {

    // TODO: total should be configurable by an options param
    this.total = 0;

    return this;
}

Whitespace

Use soft tabs set to 4 spaces.

// good
function() {
∙∙∙∙var name;
}

// bad
function() {
∙∙var name;
}

// good
function() {
    var name;
}

The above guideline is up for debate. See the note at the top of this document.

Place 1 space before the leading brace.

// bad
function test(){
    console.log('test');
}

// good
function test() {
    console.log('test');
}

// bad
dog.set('attr',{
    age: '1 year',
    breed: 'Bernese Mountain Dog'
});

// good
dog.set('attr', {
    age: '1 year',
    breed: 'Bernese Mountain Dog'
});

Set off operators with spaces.

// bad
var x=y+5;

// good
var x = y + 5;

Place an empty newline at the end of the file.

// bad
(function(global) {
    // ...stuff...
})(this);

// good
(function(global) {
    // ...stuff...
})(this);

Use indentation when making long method chains.

// bad
$('#items').find('.selected').highlight().end().find('.open').updateCount();

// good
$('#items')
    .find('.selected')
        .highlight()
        .end()
    .find('.open')
        .updateCount();

// bad
var leds = stage.selectAll('.led').data(data).enter().append('svg:svg').class('led', true)
    .attr('width',  (radius + margin) * 2).append('svg:g')
    .attr('transform', 'translate(' + (radius + margin) + ',' + (radius + margin) + ')')
    .call(tron.led);

// good
var leds = stage.selectAll('.led')
        .data(data)
    .enter().append('svg:svg')
        .class('led', true)
        .attr('width',  (radius + margin) * 2)
    .append('svg:g')
        .attr('transform', 'translate(' + (radius + margin) + ',' + (radius + margin) + ')')
        .call(tron.led);

Commas

Leading commas: Nope.

// bad
var once
    , upon
    , aTime;

// good
var once,
    upon,
    aTime;

// bad
var hero = {
    firstName: 'Bob'
    , lastName: 'Parr'
    , heroName: 'Mr. Incredible'
    , superPower: 'strength'
};

// good
var hero = {
    firstName: 'Bob',
    lastName: 'Parr',
    heroName: 'Mr. Incredible',
    superPower: 'strength'
};

Additional trailing comma: Nope. This can cause problems with IE6/7 and IE9 if it's in quirksmode. Also, in some implementations of ES3 would add length to an array if it had an additional trailing comma. This was clarified in ES5 (source):

Edition 5 clarifies the fact that a trailing comma at the end of an ArrayInitialiser does not add to the length of the array. This is not a semantic change from Edition 3 but some implementations may have previously misinterpreted this.

```javascript
// bad
var hero = {
    firstName: 'Kevin',
    lastName: 'Flynn',
};

var heroes = [
    'Batman',
    'Superman',
];

// good
var hero = {
    firstName: 'Kevin',
    lastName: 'Flynn'
};

var heroes = [
    'Batman',
    'Superman'
];
```

⬆ back to top

Semicolons

Yup.

// bad
(function() {
    var name = 'Skywalker'
    return name
})()

// good
(function() {
    var name = 'Skywalker';
    return name;
})();

// good
;(function() {
    var name = 'Skywalker';
    return name;
})();

⬆ back to top

Type Casting & Coercion

Perform type coercion at the beginning of the statement.

Strings:

//  => this.reviewScore = 9;

// bad
var totalScore = this.reviewScore + '';

// good
var totalScore = '' + this.reviewScore;

// bad
var totalScore = '' + this.reviewScore + ' total score';

// good
var totalScore = this.reviewScore + ' total score';

Use parseInt for Numbers and always with a radix for type casting.

var inputValue = '4';

// bad
var val = new Number(inputValue);

// bad
var val = +inputValue;

// bad
var val = inputValue >> 0;

// bad
var val = parseInt(inputValue);

// good
var val = Number(inputValue);

// good
var val = parseInt(inputValue, 10);

If for whatever reason you are doing something wild and parseInt is your bottleneck and need to use Bitshift for performance reasons, leave a comment explaining why and what you're doing.
Note: Be careful when using bitshift operations. Numbers are represented as 64-bit values, but Bitshift operations always return a 32-bit integer (source). Bitshift can lead to unexpected behavior for integer values larger than 32 bits. Discussion
```
// good
/**
 * parseInt was the reason my code was slow.
 * Bitshifting the String to coerce it to a
 * Number made it a lot faster.
 */
var val = inputValue >> 0;
```

Booleans:

var age = 0;

// bad
var hasAge = new Boolean(age);

// good
var hasAge = Boolean(age);

// good
var hasAge = !!age;

⬆ back to top

Naming Conventions

Avoid single letter names. Be descriptive with your naming. Use verbs when naming functions, nouns for objects.

// bad
function q() {
    // ...stuff...
}

// good
function findPerson() {
    // ..stuff..
}

Use PascalCase when naming constructors or classes

// bad
function user(options) {
    this.name = options.name;
}

var bad = new user({
    name: 'nope'
});

// good
function User(options) {
    this.name = options.name;
}

var good = new User({
    name: 'yup'
});

Use camelCase when naming functions or object methods. Use descriptive names, preferably starting with a verb.

// bad
function MethodName() {};
function method_name() {};
var MyObject = {
    MethodName: function() {},
    method_name: function() {}
};

// good
function doSomething() {};
var MyObject = {
    doSomething: function() {}
};

Use lowercase_with_underscores when naming instances, variables, or object properties.

// bad
var myObject = new MyObject();
var myVar = 'bad';
myObject.myProperty = 'bad';

// good
var my_object = new MyObject();
var my_var = 'good';
my_object.my_property = 'good';

Use ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES when naming constants.

// bad
var some_constant = 'immutable value';

// good
var SOME_CONSTANT = 'immutable value';

Use a leading underscore _ when naming private properties. Or, avoid exposing private properties to other modules entirely.
```
// bad
this.__firstName__ = 'Panda';
this.firstName_ = 'Panda';

// good
this._firstName = 'Panda';
```

When saving a reference to this use _this.

// bad
function() {
    var self = this;
    return function() {
        console.log(self);
    };
}

// bad
function() {
    var that = this;
    return function() {
        console.log(that);
    };
}

// good
function() {
    var _this = this;
    return function() {
        console.log(_this);
    };
}

Name your functions. This is helpful for stack traces.

// bad
var log = function(msg) {
    console.log(msg);
};

// good
var log = function log(msg) {
    console.log(msg);
};

⬆ back to top

Accessors

Accessor functions for properties are not required

If you do make accessor functions use getVal() and setVal('hello')

// bad
dragon.age();

// good
dragon.getAge();

// bad
dragon.age(25);

// good
dragon.setAge(25);

If the property is a boolean, use isVal() or hasVal()

// bad
if (!dragon.age()) {
    return false;
}

// good
if (!dragon.hasAge()) {
    return false;
}

It's okay to create get() and set() functions, but be consistent.

function Jedi(options) {
    options || (options = {});
    var lightsaber = options.lightsaber || 'blue';
    this.set('lightsaber', lightsaber);
}

Jedi.prototype.set = function(key, val) {
    this[key] = val;
};

Jedi.prototype.get = function(key) {
    return this[key];
};

⬆ back to top

Constructors

Assign methods to the prototype object, instead of overwriting the prototype with a new object. Overwriting the prototype makes inheritance impossible: by resetting the prototype you'll overwrite the base!

function Jedi() {
    console.log('new jedi');
}

// bad
Jedi.prototype = {
    fight: function fight() {
        console.log('fighting');
    },

    block: function block() {
        console.log('blocking');
    }
};

// good
Jedi.prototype.fight = function fight() {
    console.log('fighting');
};

Jedi.prototype.block = function block() {
    console.log('blocking');
};

Methods can return this to help with method chaining.

// bad
Jedi.prototype.jump = function() {
    this.jumping = true;
    return true;
};

Jedi.prototype.setHeight = function(height) {
    this.height = height;
};

var luke = new Jedi();
luke.jump(); // => true
luke.setHeight(20) // => undefined

// good
Jedi.prototype.jump = function() {
    this.jumping = true;
    return this;
};

Jedi.prototype.setHeight = function(height) {
    this.height = height;
    return this;
};

var luke = new Jedi();

luke.jump()
    .setHeight(20);

It's okay to write a custom toString() method, just make sure it works successfully and causes no side effects.

function Jedi(options) {
    options || (options = {});
    this.name = options.name || 'no name';
}

Jedi.prototype.getName = function getName() {
    return this.name;
};

Jedi.prototype.toString = function toString() {
    return 'Jedi - ' + this.getName();
};

Events

When attaching data payloads to events (whether DOM events or something more proprietary like Backbone events), pass a hash instead of a raw value. This allows a subsequent contributor to add more data to the event payload without finding and updating every handler for the event. For example, instead of:

// bad
$(this).trigger('listingUpdated', listing.id);

...

$(this).on('listingUpdated', function(e, listingId) {
    // do something with listingId
});

prefer:

// good
$(this).trigger('listingUpdated', { listingId : listing.id });

...

$(this).on('listingUpdated', function(e, data) {
    // do something with data.listingId
});

Modules

The module should start with a !. This ensures that if a malformed module forgets to include a final semicolon there aren't errors in production when the scripts get concatenated. Explanation
The file should be named with camelCase, live in a folder with the same name, and match the name of the single export.
Add a method called noConflict() that sets the exported module to the previous version and returns this one.

Always declare 'use strict'; at the top of the module.

// fancyInput/fancyInput.js

!function(global) {
    'use strict';

    var previousFancyInput = global.FancyInput;

    function FancyInput(options) {
        this.options = options || {};
    }

    FancyInput.noConflict = function noConflict() {
        global.FancyInput = previousFancyInput;
        return FancyInput;
    };

    global.FancyInput = FancyInput;
}(this);

jQuery

Prefix jQuery object variables with a $.

// bad
var sidebar = $('.sidebar');

// good
var $sidebar = $('.sidebar');

Cache jQuery lookups.

// bad
function setSidebar() {
    $('.sidebar').hide();

    // ...stuff...

    $('.sidebar').css({
        'background-color': 'pink'
    });
}

// good
function setSidebar() {
    var $sidebar = $('.sidebar');
    $sidebar.hide();

    // ...stuff...

    $sidebar.css({
        'background-color': 'pink'
    });
}

For DOM queries use Cascading $('.sidebar ul') or parent > child $('.sidebar > ul'). jsPerf

Use find with scoped jQuery object queries.

// bad
$('ul', '.sidebar').hide();

// bad
$('.sidebar').find('ul').hide();

// good
$('.sidebar ul').hide();

// good
$('.sidebar > ul').hide();

// good
$sidebar.find('ul').hide();
