JavaScript Best Practices

Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)

Conventions and patterns for writing maintainable JavaScript.

Implementation Guidelines

Naming:
```
camelCase
```
(vars/funcs),
```
PascalCase
```
(classes),
```
UPPER_SNAKE
```
(constants).
Errors: Throw
```
Error
```
objects only. Handle all async errors.
Comments: JSDoc for APIs. Explain "why" not "what".
Files: One entity per file.
```
index.js
```
for exports.
Modules: Named exports only. Order: Ext -> Int -> Rel.

Anti-Patterns

No Globals: Encapsulate state.
No Magic Numbers: Use
```
const
```
.
No Nesting: Guard clauses/early returns.
No Defaults: Use named exports.
No Side Effects: Keep functions pure.

Code

// Constants
const STATUS = { OK: 200, ERROR: 500 };

// Errors
class APIError extends Error {
  constructor(msg, code) {
    super(msg);
    this.code = code;
  }
}

// Async + JDoc
/** @throws {APIError} */
export async function getData(id) {
  if (!id) throw new APIError('Missing ID', 400);
  const res = await fetch(`/api/${id}`);
  if (!res.ok) throw new APIError('Failed', res.status);
  return res.json();
}
