title: TiddlyWiki Coding Style Guidelines
|
|
tags: dev
|
|
|
|
! Motivation
|
|
|
|
TiddlyWiki is a large project with many interested parties. It benefits everyone if the code is as easy to read as possible. A key part of that it must be written and laid out consistently -- the code should read as though it were written by a single author.
|
|
|
|
! Guidelines
|
|
|
|
This list of guidelines isn't exhaustive but captures some of the common problems. The ultimate guide is the existing TiddlyWiki code-base. There are still some places where the coding guidelines aren't used consistently within the core; pull requests are welcome to help resolve those issues.
|
|
|
|
!! Tabs and whitespace
|
|
|
|
TiddlyWiki uses 4-character tabs for indenting.
|
|
|
|
One blank line is used to separate blocks of code. Occasional blank lines are permitted within blocks for clarity, but should be avoided unless they solve a specific readability problem.
|
|
|
|
!! Layout of basic constructs
|
|
|
|
See the following example for layout of basic JavaScript constructs:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
/*
|
|
Multiline comments are used to introduce a block of code such as a function definition
|
|
*/
|
|
function demoFunction(param,more) {
|
|
// Proper sentence capitalisation for comments; prefer strict equality checks
|
|
if(condition === "something") {
|
|
// Always use braces, even when optional; no space between "if" and the brackets; always spaces around binary operators
|
|
something = somethingElse;
|
|
myOtherFunction(one,two); // No whitespace within function parameters
|
|
do {
|
|
myCondition.explore(); // Always use semicolons
|
|
} while(myCondition < worsens);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!! Strings
|
|
|
|
Double quotes are preferred over single quotes for string literals.
