Standard – JavaScript style guide, linter, and formatter

Standard saves you (and others!) time in three ways:

  • No configuration. The easiest way to enforce code quality in your project. No decisions to make. No .eslintrc files to manage. It just works.
  • Automatically format code. Just run standard –fix and say goodbye to messy or inconsistent code.
  • Catch style issues & programmer errors early. Save precious code review time by eliminating back-and-forth between reviewer & contributor.

Adopting standard style means ranking the importance of code clarity and community conventions higher than personal style. This might not make sense for 100% of projects and development cultures, however open source can be a hostile place for newbies. Setting up clear, automated contributor expectations makes a project healthier.

This is free and open source software.
