Nota Bene

  • this a spot to jot down guidelines of varying types, largely for front end developers & designers. This includes code style, theming style, and whatever else will help us produce a consistent, shiny produce faster. If you have questions about this page, please ping :ally in #windev.
  • Design/Theming guidelines
    • use flyout panes over dialogs
  • Coding Guidelines
    • Generally we use Mozilla Coding Style, with a few exceptions:
      • You don't need to wrap lines to 80 characters. Use longer lines (up to around 120 characters; use your judgement) if it improves readability.
  • Consistency is king, and supersedes any particular rule.
    • JS
      • else in if/else pairings are double cuddled ( eg } else {
    • CSS
      • if you create an attribute and it has only one value, do not set it to true/false. Remove the attribute in the case of false. This produces cleaner, more concise css, without imperiling js readability.
