Javascript: formatting
-
JsLint (http://www.jslint.com/[^]) includes "Strict whitespace" in its recommended options. How many of you use JsLint, and how many of you follow that formatting guideline? I like to write code as function() { } JsLint wants me to write it as: function() { } What do you do?

As i've grown as a coder, i've started adapting this style. I find it makes code just look more professional... i don't know.

function() { ... }
;P But yeah, i stay away from K&R-style braces. I'm sure they were a great way to save paper back in the day, but now i'd rather see my braces line up.

JSLint scared the bejeezus out of me at first look - my code was apparently riddled with problems, but on closer inspection, most of the stuff can be turned off (though I can see why they recommend most of the rules...) :) The documentation page explains why it dislikes some things - mostly because of potential tpyos as far as I can tell (like banning ++ since it can easilly by typed as + +)
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

It told me that after 35% of my .js file, it found 150 errors without the formatting turned on. I was writing javascript after a long time, and did many things wrong. Still, it ran well. :omg: There were so many semicolons missing, typos in variable names, declaring local variables as globals. JsLint showed me how much of a mess I had written. Now, I have no errors at all excluding formatting. I can't look at the KR style braces, though. :)

I'm fairly new to Javascript, but I also like to compact things a bit so that I don't get lost in pages and pages, so I kind of prefer the function() { } way of doing things, particularly for nested brackets. But only so long as it remains easy to find/correct/read. :cool:

I find myself doing if (condition) { statement 1; statement 2; } else { statement3; statement 4; } as long as it remains within reasonable width. I write small functions too in a single line. function() { } But for longer functions, I prefer the function { } than function { } I find it much easier to line up braces.

For JavaScript I tend to follow the majority of the code and do
function() {
}but for all other languages such as C# and C I do
function()
{
}I don't prefer either but for C# I hate to see code other than the way I write it, for JavaScript I prefer the K&R style. Perhaps I'm slightly swayed by the fact that in JS it's slightly more compact thus less overhead to transfer (stupid but I always have that thought in the back of my head).
