Commas
20.1 Leading commas: Nope. eslint:
comma-style
// bad
const story = [
once
, upon
, aTime
];
// good
const story = [
once,
upon,
aTime,
];
// bad
const hero = {
firstName: 'Ada'
, lastName: 'Lovelace'
, birthYear: 1815
, superPower: 'computers'
};
// good
const hero = {
firstName: 'Ada',
lastName: 'Lovelace',
birthYear: 1815,
superPower: 'computers',
};
20.2 Additional trailing comma: Yup. eslint:
comma-dangle
Why? This leads to cleaner git diffs. Also, transpilers like Babel will remove the additional trailing comma in the transpiled code which means you don’t have to worry about the trailing comma problem in legacy browsers.
// bad - git diff without trailing comma
const hero = {
firstName: 'Florence',
- lastName: 'Nightingale'
+ lastName: 'Nightingale',
+ inventorOf: ['coxcomb chart', 'modern nursing']
};
// good - git diff with trailing comma
const hero = {
firstName: 'Florence',
lastName: 'Nightingale',
+ inventorOf: ['coxcomb chart', 'modern nursing'],
};
// bad
const hero = {
firstName: 'Dana',
lastName: 'Scully'
};
const heroes = [
'Batman',
'Superman'
];
// good
const hero = {
firstName: 'Dana',
lastName: 'Scully',
};
const heroes = [
'Batman',
'Superman',
];
// bad
function createHero(
firstName,
lastName,
inventorOf
) {
// does nothing
}
// good
function createHero(
firstName,
lastName,
inventorOf,
) {
// does nothing
}
// good (note that a comma must not appear after a "rest" element)
function createHero(
firstName,
lastName,
inventorOf,
...heroArgs
) {
// does nothing
}
// bad
createHero(
firstName,
lastName,
inventorOf
);
// good
createHero(
firstName,
lastName,
inventorOf,
);
// good (note that a comma must not appear after a "rest" element)
createHero(
firstName,
lastName,
inventorOf,
...heroArgs
);
