Coding Standards

Naming Conventions

// Variables: camelCase
const userName = "John";

// Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
const MAX_RETRIES = 3;

// Functions: camelCase, verb prefix
function getUserById(id: string) {}

// Classes: PascalCase
class UserService {}

// Interfaces: PascalCase, no "I" prefix
interface User {}

Error Handling

try {
  const result = await riskyOperation();
  return result;
} catch (error) {
  logger.error("Operation failed", { error });
  throw new CustomError("Friendly message", error);
}

Comments

/**
 * Calculates the total price including tax
 * @param items - Cart items
 * @param taxRate - Tax rate as decimal (e.g., 0.1 for 10%)
 * @returns Total price with tax
 */
function calculateTotal(items: Item[], taxRate: number): number {
  // Sum up item prices
  const subtotal = items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
  
  // Apply tax and round to 2 decimal places
  return Math.round(subtotal * (1 + taxRate) * 100) / 100;
}

Best Practices

1. Write tests alongside code
2. Keep functions small (< 20 lines)
3. One function = one purpose
4. Avoid deep nesting
5. Use early returns
