- Modules must not depend on any other npm modules
- Always assume just modules will be used in hot code and code accordingly
- Write ES5
- Favor
forloops over high order functions - Don't repeatedly access the same property, assign to a
var
- API
- Keep the API simple and intuitive
- Avoid multiple arguments or option arguments whenever possible–-make it just do one thing
- README
- Limit READMEs to showing examples of each use case
- If you must explain the API (see above) do so in a comment in the README example code
- Add a section in the general README that duplicates the individual README for your module
- Tests
- Write a test for each use case
- Include tests for all examples you included in the README
- Too thorough is better than not thorough enough
- Interactive gh-pages (http://anguscroll.com/just)
- We'll take care of this after we land your PR and publish the npm module
