[jsPerf](http://jsperf.com/ya-string-concat) & [Discussion](https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/issues/40). + + + - [6.5](#6.5) When programmatically building up strings, use template strings instead of concatenation. + + > Why? Template strings give you a readable, concise syntax with proper newlines and string interpolation features. + + ```javascript + // bad + function sayHi(name) { + return 'How are you, ' + name + '?'; + } + + // bad + function sayHi(name) { + return ['How are you, ', name, '?'].join(); + } + + // good + function sayHi(name) { + return `How are you, ${name}?`; + } + ``` + + - [6.6](#6.6) **NEVER** use eval() on a string, it opens too many vulnerabilities. + +**[⬆ back to top](#table-of-contents)** + +## Functions + + - [7.1](#7.1) Use function declarations instead of function expressions. + + > Why? Function declarations are named, so they're easier to identify in call stacks. Also, the whole body of a function declaration is hoisted, whereas only the reference of a function expression is hoisted. This rule makes it possible to always use [Arrow Functions](#arrow-functions) in place of function expressions. + + ```javascript + // bad + const foo = function () { + }; + + // good + function foo() { + } + ``` + + - [7.2](#7.2) Immediately-invoked function expressions should use arrow functions as opposed to traditional functions: + + ```javascript + // immediately-invoked function expression (IIFE) + (() => { + console.log('Welcome to the Internet. Please follow me.'); + })(); + ``` + + - [7.3](#7.3) **NEVER** declare a function in a non-function block (if, while, etc). Assign the function to a variable instead. Browsers will allow you to do it, but they all interpret it differently, which is bad news bears. + - [7.4](#7.4) **Note:** ECMA-262 defines a `block` as a list of statements. A function declaration is not a statement. [Read ECMA-262's note on this issue](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf#page=97). + + ```javascript + // bad + if (currentUser) { + function test() { + console.log('Nope.'); + } + } + + // good + let test; + if (currentUser) { + test = () => { + console.log('Yup.'); + }; + } + ``` + + - [7.5](#7.5) **NEVER** name a parameter `arguments`. This will take precedence over the `arguments` object that is given to every function scope. + + ```javascript + // bad + function nope(name, options, arguments) { + // ...stuff... + } + + // good + function yup(name, options, args) { + // ...stuff... + } + ``` + + + - [7.6](#7.6) **NEVER** use `arguments`, opt to use rest syntax `...` instead. + + > Why? `...` is explicit about which arguments you want pulled. Plus rest arguments are a real Array and not Array-like like `arguments`. + + ```javascript + // bad + function concatenateAll() { + const args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments); + return args.join(''); + } + + // good + function concatenateAll(...args) { + return args.join(''); + } + ``` + + + - [7.7](#7.7) Use default parameter syntax rather than mutating function arguments. + + ```javascript + // really bad + function handleThings(opts) { + // No! We shouldn't mutate function arguments. + // Double bad: if opts is falsy it'll be set to an object which may + // be what you want but it can introduce subtle bugs. + opts = opts || {}; + // ... + } + + // still bad + function handleThings(opts) { + if (opts === void 0) { + opts = {}; + } + // ... + } + + // good + function handleThings(opts = {}) { + // ... + } + ``` + + - [7.8](#7.8) Avoid side effects with default parameters. + + > Why? They are confusing to reason about. + + ```javascript + var b = 1; + // bad + function count(a = b++) { + console.log(a); + } + count(); // 1 + count(); // 2 + count(3); // 3 + count(); // 3 + ``` + + - [7.9](#7.9) Always put default parameters last. + + ```javascript + // bad + function handleThings(opts = {}, name) { + // ... + } + + // good + function handleThings(name, opts = {}) { + // ... + } + ``` + + - [7.10](#7.10) **NEVER** use the Function constructor to create a new function. + + > Why? Creating a function in this way evaluates a string similarly to eval(), which opens vulnerabilities. + + ```javascript + // bad + var add = new Function('a', 'b', 'return a + b'); + + // still bad + var subtract = Function('a', 'b', 'return a - b'); + ``` + +**[⬆ back to top](#table-of-contents)** + +## Arrow Functions + + - [8.1](#8.1) When you must use function expressions (as when passing an anonymous function), use arrow function notation. + + > Why? It creates a version of the function that executes in the context of `this`, which is usually what you want, and is a more concise syntax. + + > Why not? If you have a fairly complicated function, you might move that logic out into its own function declaration. + + ```javascript + // bad + [1, 2, 3].map(function (x) { + const y = x + 1; + return x * y; + }); + + // good + [1, 2, 3].map((x) => { + const y = x + 1; + return x * y; + }); + ``` + + - [8.2](#8.2) If the function body consists of a single expression, feel free to omit the braces and use the implicit return. Otherwise use a `return` statement. + + > Why? Syntactic sugar. It reads well when multiple functions are chained together. + + > Why not? If you plan on returning an object. + + ```javascript + // good + [1, 2, 3].map(number => `A string containing the ${number}.`); + + // bad + [1, 2, 3].map(number => { + const nextNumber = number + 1; + `A string containing the ${nextNumber}.`; + }); + + // good + [1, 2, 3].map(number => { + const nextNumber = number + 1; + return `A string containing the ${nextNumber}.`; + }); + ``` + + - [8.3](#8.3) In case the expression spans over multiple lines, wrap it in parentheses for better readability. + + > Why? It shows clearly where the function starts and ends. + + ```javascript + // bad + [1, 2, 3].map(number => 'As time went by, the string containing the ' + + `${number} became much longer. So we needed to break it over multiple ` + + 'lines.' + ); + + // good + [1, 2, 3].map(number => ( + `As time went by, the string containing the ${number} became much ` + + 'longer.

Many Python IDEs will check your code against PEP8. (Note that PEP8 isn't frozen; it actually changes over time, but slowly.) + +BigchainDB uses Python 3.5+, so you can ignore all PEP8 guidelines specific to Python 2. + +We use [pre-commit](http://pre-commit.com/) to check some of the rules below before every commit but not everything is realized yet. +The hooks we use can be found in the [.pre-commit-config.yaml](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/blob/master/.pre-commit-config.yaml) file. + +### Python Docstrings + +PEP8 says some things about docstrings, but not what to put in them or how to structure them. [PEP257](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/) was one proposal for docstring conventions, but we prefer [Google-style docstrings](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html?showone=Comments#Comments) instead: they're easier to read and the [napoleon extension](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/ext/napoleon.html) for Sphinx lets us turn them into nice-looking documentation. Here are some references on Google-style docstrings: + +* [Google's docs on Google-style docstrings](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html?showone=Comments#Comments) +* [napoleon's docs include an overview of Google-style docstrings](http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html) +* [Example Google-style docstrings](http://sphinxcontrib-napoleon.readthedocs.org/en/latest/example_google.html) (from napoleon's docs) + +### Maximum Line Length + +PEP8 has some [maximum line length guidelines](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#id17), starting with "Limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters" but "for flowing long blocks of text with fewer structural restrictions (docstrings or comments), the line length should be limited to 72 characters." + +We discussed this at length, and it seems that the consensus is: _try_ to keep line lengths less than 79/72 characters, unless you have a special situation where longer lines would improve readability. (The basic reason is that 79/72 works for everyone, and BigchainDB is an open source project.) As a hard limit, keep all lines less than 119 characters (which is the width of GitHub code review). + +### Single or Double Quotes? + +Python lets you use single or double quotes. PEP8 says you can use either, as long as you're consistent. We try to stick to using single quotes, except in cases where using double quotes is more readable. For example: +```python +print('This doesn\'t look so nice.') +print("Doesn't this look nicer?") +``` + +### Breaking Strings Across Multiple Lines + +Should we use parentheses or slashes (`\`) to break strings across multiple lines, i.e. +```python +my_string = ('This is a very long string, so long that it will not fit into just one line ' + 'so it must be split across multiple lines.') +# or +my_string = 'This is a very long string, so long that it will not fit into just one line ' \ + 'so it must be split across multiple lines.' +``` + +It seems the preference is for slashes, but using parentheses is okay too. (There are good arguments either way. Arguing about it seems like a waste of time.) + +### How to Format Long import Statements + +If you need to `import` lots of names from a module or package, and they won't all fit in one line (without making the line too long), then use parentheses to spread the names across multiple lines, like so: +```python +from Tkinter import ( + Tk, Frame, Button, Entry, Canvas, Text, + LEFT, DISABLED, NORMAL, RIDGE, END, +) + +# Or + +from Tkinter import (Tk, Frame, Button, Entry, Canvas, Text, + LEFT, DISABLED, NORMAL, RIDGE, END) +``` + +For the rationale, see [PEP 328](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0328/#rationale-for-parentheses). + +### Using the % operator or `format()` to Format Strings + +Given the choice: +```python +x = 'name: %s; score: %d' % (name, n) +# or +x = 'name: {}; score: {}'.format(name, n) +``` + +we use the `format()` version. The [official Python documentation says](https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#str.format), "This method of string formatting is the new standard in Python 3, and should be preferred to the % formatting described in String Formatting Operations in new code." + + +## Running the Flake8 Style Checker + +We use [Flake8](http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/index.html) to check our Python code style. Once you have it installed, you can run it using: +```text +flake8 --max-line-length 119 bigchaindb/ +``` + + +## Writing and Running (Python) Tests + +The content of this section was moved to [`bigchaindb/tests/README.md`](./tests/README.md). + +Note: We automatically run all tests on all pull requests (using Travis CI), so you should definitely run all tests locally before you submit a pull request.
