Pursuit Styling Guide


📐 Every significant project at Pursuit adheres to its unique style guide: a set of conventions that aim to create a consistent coding framework. When navigating a substantial codebase, consistency is key for comprehension and collaboration amongst students.

The term "style" encompasses aspects like "adopt camelCase for variable names" and principles like "modularize code" or "handle errors properly."

This document (Pursuit styleguide) introduces you to the stylistic standards we advocate for at Pursuit. As you code with Pursuit, you'll be referred back to this guide to ensure your code aligns with our best practices. Following these standards will help you develop good coding habits.

Here is an example from Google: Google JavaScript Style Guide
