Regel 1: |
| ==Best practices for development of JavaScript extensions==
| | <span style="color:#FF0000">{{{1|}}}</span><noinclude>{{doc}}</noinclude> |
| | |
| All normal best practice guidelines apply; some references are:
| |
| * [http://www.javascripttoolbox.com/bestpractices/ JavaScript Toolbox]
| |
| * [http://sarfraznawaz.wordpress.com/2012/02/19/842/ Sarfraz Ahmed's Blog]
| |
| | |
| Run your code through some useful analyzers to head off potential problems, like:
| |
| * [http://www.jshint.com JSHint]
| |
| * [http://www.jslint.com JSLint]
| |
| * [https://developers.google.com/closure/ JavaScript Closure Tools]

| ==jQuery==
| |
| WME (''Waze Map Editor'') is built on jQuery. This makes it easy to access and manipulate properties and directly reference the built-in Waze objects underlying WME. Using jQuery enables tighter integration into WME, reduces code, and builds on what is already there. WME runs jQuery 1.7 vanilla (which does not include any optional modules like jQuery UI).
| |
| | |
| ==Prefix for variables and functions==
| |
| To ensure that your code is safe from collision with other scripts and extensions, please prefix all variables and functions with a prefix of your choosing (this includes local variables and global variables, since your entire script is made public when it is loaded in WME). An example would be instead of naming a variable "version", name it "coolscript_version" instead, if your script is named "Cool Script".
| |
| | |
| ==Code encapsulation==
| |
| While not technically code encapsulation in the object oriented sense, please encapsulate all code in a function, except requisite bootstrap code and initializer calls.
| |
| | |
| ==UserScript Bootstraping==
| |
| When creating user scripts for Greasemonkey, Chrome, or TamperMonkey, use the following bootstrap at the start of your script. [[User:timbones|timbones]] did extensive research on this to make sure it is completely cross-browser compatible. Not only does it work in GreaseMonkey, Chrome, and TamperMonkey, but can also be dropped into a Safari Extension without any recoding.
