Thoughts
If the mere goal is consistency, any randomly chosen ruleset is equally good.
From a productivity and readability standpoint, however, different rule configurations can have varyling levels of potential positive and negative impact.
trailing-comma
{ "multiline": "always", "singleline": "never" }
- Allows cloning the last line.
- Allows exchanging the last line.
- Allows deleting the last line.
- Is auto-fixable, while a missing semicolon, after performing one of the above actions, is not.
semicolon
"never"
- Semicolons are noise and don't add any value.
- Non-semicolon snippets work both as statements and as parameters:
console.log()
events.subscribe(e => console.log(e)/* no disturbing semicolon here */)
quotemark
"double"
- Double quotes are valid and commonly used in way more languages than single quotes.
- Double quotes are easier to type on German keyboards.
linebreak-style
["LF"]
LF
works well on all platforms.CRLF
in bash scripts will fail on non-Windows systems.
max-line-length
[80]
- Easier to work with two columns / files side by side
- Leaves enough space for tool windows like file tree, outline
- Horizontal scrolling is tedious when you don't have a horizontal scroll wheel
object-literal-key-quotes
"consistent-as-needed"
- Less typing is needed when keys are not quoted.
- When quoting is however needed, consistency improves readability.
eofline
true
- An extra empty line speeds up adding new code at the end.
- When hitting
Ctrl + End
, the page in most cases only scrolls vertically.
indent
["spaces", 2]
- Spaces look better on the Web.
- Editor support is good enough to compete with tabs.
- Two spaces seem to be the most common choice.
interface-name
"never-prefix"
- Modern tools make it easy to determine the accurate type quickly, when needed. This makes type prefixes are a thing of the past.
- Interfaces in TypeScript have a different semantic than in other languages, where the
I
prefix is commonly used on interfaces. class
,interface
andtype
are often intersected or exchanged, depending on what needs to be achieved, so type names would need to be changed quite often, when they are prefixed withC
,I
orT
.- Prefixes don't play well with acronyms.
