JavaScript and CSS:
- Use spaces instead of hard tabs
- Use 4-space indents
- Control statements such as "if", "while", and "for":
if (test) {- Space after the statement name and before the (
- Space after the )
- Use double quotes ("x") for strings
- All identifiers (e.g. variable names, function names) should be in camelCase and sufficiently detailed to make it clear what their purpose is, but not more than ~30 characters long
- Use a space after all ":" in dictionary definitions or CSS:
{"x": 0} - Within a single statement, be consistent in the use of `Hi {x}` vs. "Hi "+x
- Avoid global (or namespace-wide) variables unless absolutely necessary
- Avoid hard-coded constants that depend on the specific layout or size of display elements
- Comments should be used to explain why something is being done, not how
- Use the prefix "op-" on all OPUS-specific HTML classes and ids
- Always use CSS classes instead of hard-coding style elements or colors in the HTML or JavaScript source
- Use "let" wherever appropriate instead of "var"
