Good Coding Practices 🧑‍💻

  1. Follow the Project's Code Style

    • Maintain consistency with the existing code style (indentation, spacing, comments).
    • Use meaningful and descriptive names for variables, functions, and classes.
    • Keep functions short and focused on a single task.
    • Avoid hardcoding values; instead, use constants or configuration files when possible.

  2. Write Clear and Concise Comments

    • Use comments to explain why you did something, not just what you did.
    • Avoid unnecessary comments that state the obvious.
    • Document complex logic and functions with brief explanations to help others understand your thought -process.

  3. Keep Code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)

    • Avoid duplicating code. Reuse functions, methods, and components whenever possible.
    • If you find yourself copying and pasting code, consider creating a new function or component.

  4. Write Tests

    • Write unit tests for your functions and components.
    • Ensure your tests cover both expected outcomes and edge cases.
    • Run tests locally before making a pull request to make sure your changes don’t introduce new bugs.

  5. Code Reviews and Feedback

    • Be open to receiving constructive feedback from other contributors.
    • Conduct code reviews for others and provide meaningful suggestions to improve the code.
    • Always refactor your code based on feedback to meet the project's standards.
