Dos and Don’ts in JavaScript

Best Practices:

  • Choose short but readable variable names.
  • Avoid global variables.
  • Use only one global object to encapsulate any global variables you really need.
  • Always use var to declare your variables.
  • Indent your code so it’s readable.
  • Use curly braces to define blocks of code.
  • Comment your code.
  • Always use semi-colons.
  • Be aware of where automatic semi-colon insertion happens.
  • Declare variables outside loops.
  • Reduce DOM operations.
