C++ and Python
For C++ and Python, we just follow Chromium's Coding Style, there is also a script script/cpplint.py
to check whether all files confirm.
The python's version we are using now is Python 2.7.
CoffeeScript
For CoffeeScript, we follow GitHub's Style Guide, and also following rules:
- Files should NOT end with new line, because we want to match Google's styles.
- File names should be concatenated with
-
instead of _
, e.g. file-name.coffee
rather than file_name.coffee
, because in github/atom module names are usually in the module-name
form, this rule only apply to .coffee
files.
API Names
When creating a new API, we should prefer getters and setters instead of jQuery's one-function style, for example, .getText()
and .setText(text)
are preferred to .text([text])
. There is a discussion of this.
