Style Guide

To maintain code quality and consistency, we follow strict coding standards.

PHP Standards

We follow PSR-12 coding standards.

• Use Laravel Pint to automatically fix coding style issues.

  ./vendor/bin/pint

Naming Conventions

• Controllers: ResourceController.php (PascalCase)
• Models: Book.php (PascalCase, Singular)
• Tables: books (snake_case, Plural)
• Variables: $variableName (camelCase)
• Methods: methodName() (camelCase)

JavaScript Standards

• Use ES6+ syntax.
• Use const and let, avoid var.
• Use Arrow functions where appropriate.
• Format using Prettier (if configured).

CSS Standards

• Use Tailwind CSS utility classes.
• Avoid writing custom CSS in app.css unless necessary for complex animations or overrides not possible with Tailwind.

Git Commit Reviews

• Commits should be atomic (one feature/fix per commit).
• Write descriptive commit messages (See CONTRIBUTING.md).
