number4 + number5;
[MUST] Start a new line for ), ], } if the content inside the brackets occupies multiple lines.
Make the same indent as the line where the corresponding (, [, { placed.
// good
if (product) {
product.load();
if (user.isAuthenticated()

a: 1
, b: 2

}
Statement
[MUST] The comma must not be ignored at the end of a statement.
[MUST] The {} must not be ignored even if there is only one line.
// good
if (condition) {
callFunc();
}
// bad
if (condition) callFunc();
if (condition)
callFunc();
[MUST] Place no comma at the end of a function definition.
// good
function funcName() {
}
// bad
function funcName() {
};
// For function expression, the comma must not be ignored.
var funcName = function () {
};
[MUST] No trailing comma in object and array declarations.
// good
var obj = {
attr1: 'xxx',
attr2: 'yyy'
};
var arr = [
'xxx',
'yyy'
];
// bad
var obj = {
attr1: 'xxx',
attr2: 'yyy',
};
var arr = [
'xxx',
'yyy',
];
Naming Conventions
[MUST] Use lowerCamelCase for variables, properties and function names.
var loadingModules = {};
function loadProduct() {
}
[MUST] Use UpperCamelCase (Pascal) for class names.
function Element(options) {
}
[SUGGEST] All of the letters of a abbreviation should be both upper cases or both lower cases.
function parseSVG() {
}
var svgParser;
Language features
Compatibility
[MUST] The JavaScript code of ECharts should be based on ECMAScript Language Specification Edition 3 (ES3). The language features that not supported by ES3 (namely, features that are only supported by ES5, ES6 or upper versions) must not be used.
But there is an exception that ES Module can be used.
Language features can be polyfilled by some utilities, but must not by modifying the prototype of the built-in JS objects.
// good
import * as zrUtil from 'zrender/src/core/util';
zrUtil.each(array, function (val, index) {
sum += val;
});
var result = zrUtil.map(array, function (val) {
return parse(val);
});
var pos = zrUtil.indexOf(array, val);
var obj2 = zrUtil.extend({}, obj1);
function Element() {
// ...
}
// bad
array.forEach(function (val, index) {
sum += val;
});
let result = array.map(function (val) {
return parse(val);
});
const pos = array.indexOf(val);
var obj2 = Object.assign({}, obj1);
class Element {
// ...
}
String.prototype.trim = function () {
};
Variable
[MUST] Variables must be declared by var. And a var can not declares more than one variable.
// good
var name = 'MyName';
var hangModules = [];
var missModules = [];
var visited = {};
// bad
name = 'MyName';
var hangModules = [],
missModules = [],
visited = {};
Condition
[MUST] In equality expression, == can only be used on null or undefined detection. === should be used in the rest of cases .
// good
if (age === 30) {
// ...
}
if (type == null) {
// ...
}
// bad
if (age == 30) {
// ......
}
[SUGGEST] Use xxx == null to determine null or undefined.
[SUGGEST] Try best to make the meaning of null and undefined the same, namely, do not make users or developers distinguishing whether a variable is null or undefined.
[SUGGEST] The function expression or function declaration should not be placed inside a loop body.
// good
function clicker() {
// ......
}
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; i++) {
var element = elements[i];
addListener(element, 'click', clicker);
}
// bad
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; i++) {
var element = elements[i];
addListener(element, 'click', function () {});
}
Type Conversion
[SUGGEST] Use + '' to convert a value to string.
// good
num + '';
// bad
new String(num);
num.toString();
String(num);
[SUGGEST] Use + to convert a value to number.
// good
+str;
// bad
Number(str);
[MUST] The second parameter must not be ignored when using parseInt.
// good
parseInt(str, 10);
// bad
parseInt(str);
String, Object, Array
[MUST] Use ' but not " to define a string.
[MUST] Use object literal {} to create a plain object.
// good
var obj = {};
// bad
var obj = new Object();
[MUST] If all of the properties of an object literal do not need quotation marks, they should ignore them. If quotation marks is necessary, use ' but not ".
// good
var info = {
name: 'someone',
age: 28
};
// bad
var info = {
'name': 'someone',
'age': 28
};
var info2 = {
"age": 40
};
[MUST] The prototype of built-in objects must not be modified.
// Forbidden
String.prototype.trim = function () {
};
[SUGGEST] Try best to use . but not [] to visit properties of an object.
[SUGGEST] hasOwnProperty should be used to when using for ... in ..., in case that some extra properties is added on the prototype of Object in some runtime environment.
var newInfo = {};
for (var key in info) {
if (info.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
newInfo[key] = info[key];
}
}
[MUST] Use array literal [] to create an array, except intending to create an array with a given length.
// good
var arr = [];
var arr2 = new Array(1e4);
// bad
var arr = new Array();
[MUST] Do not use for in in array traverse.
Others
[MUST] Do not use eval and with. new Function can be used.
