JS Coding Guidelines

I’m trying to get a start here on Codecanyon and I want to know if there are any coding guidelines that I should follow for JavaScript files (or any other file). I’m especially curious if I should follow a specific commenting convention for classes?

Thank you,

Alex

Just follow good, industry standard practices and you’ll be fine. Comments are secondary and usually not a factor if an item is accepted or rejected.

Thanks for the info. Cheers

As you probably already know some of this, it might not help; but it’s the same principle for anything code-based written.

Simple School Boy Guidelines:
1.Keep your code clean and cluster free. 2. Use shorthand code instead of writing everything our separately; use wherever possible.
For example:

$(function(){    
    $('#div').on('click', function() {
        $('#div').css('background-image', 'url(img/folder/file.png)');
            $('.div2').css('color', '#fff');
                        $('.div3').css('color', '#fff');
                        $('.div4').css('color', '#fff');
    })
});

$(function(){    
    $('#div').on('click', function() {
        $('#div').css('background-image', 'url(img/folder/file.png)');
            $('.div2, .div3, .div4').css('color', '#fff');
    })
});

.... I could go on and on and on, about using (this) and (that) forever, but here is a great practice site here:

It’s got practically everything you need.

Every infromation is usefull. Although there are tons of resources out thereI thought maybe here on codecanyon there are some specific guidelines/rules to follow.

Thanks for your reply.

For Javascript, jslint (http://www.jslint.com/) can help a lot in keeping your code consistent, and even catching some bugs along the way.

Great. Thanks for sharing!

I prefer http://www.jshint.com/

I also hate using anonymous functions and coming from AS3 you probably will too

Good luck

Yup… It’s a pain. But what can you do? Need to move on with industry standards (?).

Also, thank you!

Would become:

$(function(){    
    $('#div').on('click', function() {
        $('#div').css('background-image', 'url(img/folder/file.png)');
            $('.div2, .div3, .div4').css('color', '#fff');
    })
});

Do you really use the jquery css method to set a background image and to change colors?
