Linting

Linting

standard.js is used to lint both the server-side and client-side javascript code.

One Style to Rule Them All. No decisions to make. No .eslintrc, .jshintrc, or .jscsrc files to manage. It just works.

It's defined as a build task and can be run using npm run lint.

Some of the highlights of standard.js are:

• 2 spaces – for indentation
• Single quotes for strings – except to avoid escaping
• No unused variables – this one catches tons of bugs!
• No semicolons – It's fine. Really!
• Space after keywords if (condition) { ... }
• Space after function name function name (arg) { ... }
• Always use === instead of == – but obj == null is allowed to check null || undefined.
• Always handle the node.js err function parameter
• Always prefix browser globals with window – except document and navigator are okay
  • Prevents accidental use of poorly-named browser globals like open, length, event, and name.
