Coding

Both general programming and specific TS rules live in this document

if the rule can be formalized, be sure to think about writing a custom linter rule before adding it here

General

TypeScript

Prefer union types over enums

• unions are type safe, flexible, and sometimes more powerful then enums
• infer union from const array when you need both type and values array

Class member accessibility format

• public members - always without public keyword(controlled by eslint)
• private/protected with private/protected keyword and trailing underscore

  NOTE: in future we want to be closer to native JS and use JS private fields(with #) but now trailing _ is trade-off between reading and transpile

class Foo {
    bar = 'public-field'
    private someSecret_ = 'private value'
}
