## General Guidelines
|
|
|
|
- Write clean, readable, and maintainable code.
|
|
- Follow the principle of DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
|
|
- Aim for code simplicity and avoid unnecessary complexity.
|
|
- Strive for consistent and meaningful variable and function names.
|
|
- Keep lines of code within a reasonable length (80-120 characters).
|
|
- Use comments to explain complex logic or non-obvious code sections.
|
|
|
|
## Naming Conventions
|
|
|
|
- Use descriptive and meaningful names for variables, functions, classes, and files.
|
|
- Follow the standard naming conventions for the programming language used in the project.
|
|
- Prefer clarity over brevity in naming. Avoid overly abbreviated or cryptic names.
|
|
- Follow [PSR-12 rules](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-12/) when contributing the project.
|
|
|
|
## Code Formatting
|
|
|
|
- Use consistent indentation (spaces or tabs) throughout the codebase.
|
|
- Configure your code editor to use a standardized indentation size (e.g., 4 spaces).
|
|
- Use a consistent line-ending style (e.g., Unix style: LF).
|
|
- Remove trailing whitespace at the end of lines.
|
|
- Maintain a consistent code style within each file and across the entire codebase.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
- Document code to provide clarity and understanding.
|
|
- Use clear and concise comments to explain the purpose and functionality of code blocks.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
- Write unit tests for all significant functionality.
|
|
- Ensure that the tests cover a wide range of input cases, including edge cases and error conditions.
|
|
- Follow the project's established testing framework and conventions.
|
|
- Maintain a high test coverage to ensure code stability and reliability.
|
|
|
|
## Version Control
|
|
|
|
- Follow Git best practices, such as using descriptive commit messages, creating meaningful branch names, and regularly pulling changes from the main branch.
|
|
- Avoid committing large binary files or sensitive information to the repository.
|
|
- Use proper branching strategies, such as feature branches or Git flow, to organize and manage development.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- Clearly define and document project dependencies, including libraries, frameworks, and external tools.
|
|
- Specify dependency versions to ensure consistent behavior across different environments.
|
|
- Regularly update and review dependencies to ensure security and compatibility.
|
|
|
|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
Adhering to this style guide will ensure a consistent and well-maintained codebase for the OpenMarketplace project. Consistency in coding styles, naming conventions,
|
|
code formatting, documentation, testing, version control, and dependency management will contribute to better collaboration among developers and make the project more
|
|
maintainable and readable.
|
|
|
|
Remember to review and update this style guide periodically as the project evolves. By following these guidelines, we can create high-quality code and foster a positive
|
|
development environment.
