Core rules
- Extends Google JavaScript style; use Closure
goog.provide/goog.require. - One consistent module definition; never mutate modules outside their definition file.
- Reference modules via
.nameproperty, not string literals. - Controllers are classes; methods on
MyCtrl.prototype. Prefercontroller assyntax. - Customer-facing code must be compiled with JSCompiler.
- Use a shared Angular externs file for type safety with Closure.
Quick checklist
- Match Google AngularJS naming and formatting conventions
- Keep code readable; prefer consistency within the file and package
