clean-code-javascript adapts Robert C. Martin’s Clean Code principles to the JavaScript ecosystem, presenting them as pragmatic, example-driven guidelines rather than a prescriptive style guide. It focuses on writing code that is readable, searchable, testable, and easy to refactor, using before/after (“Bad/Good”) snippets to make each idea concrete. The repository covers everyday concerns—naming, functions, conditionals, objects, classes, and error handling—showing how small choices compound into maintainable systems. Modern JavaScript features (e.g., default parameters, destructuring, classes, array methods) are used to illustrate clearer APIs and fewer side effects. Throughout, the guidance encourages single-purpose functions, avoiding unnecessary context and duplications, and favoring functional patterns where they improve clarity. It’s a reference you dip into to assess your code’s clarity and consistency, not a checklist of rules to follow blindly.
Features
- Bad/Good code pairs that demonstrate each principle in practice
- Guidance on meaningful names, searchability, and explicitness
- Patterns for single-responsibility functions and clear function signatures
- Advice to avoid side effects, prefer immutability, and reduce conditionals
- Use of modern JS features (defaults, destructuring, classes, Array methods) to simplify code
- Emphasis on readability, refactorability, and testability over micro-rules
