Code Style

Please follow the these guidelines. Some are just preference, others are good practice.

• IITC sources currently meet ES 5.1 standard.

• eqeqeq: use identity operators: === and !==. Why do I want this?

• jQuery is your friend.

• indent using two spaces.

• enforce semicolon.

• 'one true brace-style':

  • opening brace on the same line: if (blub) {
  • else clauses: } else if (blub) { or } else {

• keyword-spacing: there should be a space after if, for, etc.

  E.g. if (true) { doStuff(); } else { dontDoStuff(); }

• spaced-comment: // this is a comment

• quotes: Use single-quotes for JavaScript and double-quotes for HTML content.

  Example: $('body').append('<div id="soup">Soup!</div>');

• there is no length limit on lines, but try to keep them short where suitable.

• no-trailing-spaces: ensure you remove all trailing whitespace before submitting your patch.

  If you editor doesn’t detect those for you, try grep -nE "[[:space:]]+$" «filename»
