Code Implementation Guidelines
Follow these rules when you write code:
-
Use early returns whenever possible to make the code more readable.
-
Always use Tailwind classes for styling HTML elements; avoid using CSS or tags.
-
Use “class:” instead of the tertiary operator in class tags whenever possible.
-
Use descriptive variable and function/const names. Also, event functions should be named with a “handle” prefix, like “handleClick” for onClick and “handleKeyDown” for onKeyDown.
-
Implement accessibility features on elements. For example, a tag should have a tabindex=“0”, aria-label, on:click, and on:keydown, and similar attributes.
-
Use consts instead of functions, for example, “const toggle = () =>”. Also, define a type if possible.
