StandardJs

StandardJS is a JavaScript style guide, linter, and formatter that enforces a consistent coding style without requiring configuration. It aims to reduce the amount of time developers spend on code formatting and stylistic debates, allowing them to focus on writing code. The core philosophy of StandardJS is that style should not be a matter of opinion, and by eliminating stylistic choices, teams can achieve greater consistency and productivity.

The project consists of three main parts. The style guide itself defines the rules for JavaScript code. The linter, which is based on ESLint, checks code against these rules and reports any violations. Finally, the formatter automatically corrects most of these violations, ensuring that code adheres to the StandardJS style. This integrated approach means that once StandardJS is set up, developers can write JavaScript code with confidence, knowing it will be automatically formatted and checked for style consistency.

StandardJS supports modern JavaScript features, including ES6+ syntax. It is widely used in the JavaScript community and is the default style guide for many popular projects and frameworks. Its adoption can lead to cleaner, more readable, and more maintainable codebases, especially in collaborative environments where multiple developers contribute to the same project. The emphasis on "zero configuration" makes it particularly appealing to those who want to get started quickly without complex setup procedures.
