Who Else Wants to Write Clean JavaScript Code?

Who Else Wants to Write Clean JavaScript Code? 7 Tips to Make Your Coworkers Fall in Love With Your Code.

Your college: “Who’s the author of this code?”

Expectation: “It’s me!” You answer proudly because that code is beautiful like a princess.

Reality: “Nah, it’s not me!” You lie because that code is ugly like a beast.

Now, if you want to make the expectation become the reality, keep reading.

1. Use meaningful Variable Names

Use meaningful names, which you know exactly what it is at first glance.

// Don't
let xyz = validate(‘amyjandrews’);

// Do
let isUsernameValid = validate(‘amyjandrews’);

It makes sense to name a collection type as plural. Thus, don’t forget the s:

// Don't
let number = [3, 5, 2, 1, 6];

// Do
let numbers = [3, 5, 2, 1, 6];

Functions do things. So, a function’s name should be a verb.

// Don't
function usernameValidation(username) {}

// Do
function validateUsername(username) {}

Start with is for boolean type:

let isValidName = validateName(‘amyjandrews’);

Don’t use constants directly because as time pass you will be like, “What the hell is this?” It’d better to name constants before using them:

// Don't
let area = 5 * 5 * 3.14;

// Do
const PI = 3.14;
let area = 5 * 5 * PI;

For callback functions, don’t be lazy to just name parameters as one character like h, j, d (maybe even you, the father of those name, don’t know what they mean). Long story short, if the parameter is a person, pass person; if it’s a book, pass book:

// Don't
let books = [‘Learn JavaScript’, ‘Coding for Beginners’, ‘CSS the Good Parts’];

books.forEach(function(b) {
  // …
});
// Do
let books = [‘Learn JavaScript’, ‘Coding for Beginners’, ‘CSS the Good Parts’];
books.filter(function(book) {
  // …
});

How to start writing less error-prone code in JavaScript - Everything in JavaScript is an object!’. We said that this assertion is false. Many things in JavaScript can behave like an object, but that doesn’t mean it’s the object. We can say we have three types of objects (objects, functions and arrays) in JavaScript.
