Es Module Node.js Guidelines

General

• Follow best practices, lean towards agile methodologies
• Prioritize modularity, DRY, performance, and security
• First break tasks into distinct prioritized steps, then follow the steps
• Prioritize tasks/steps you’ll address in each response
• Don't repeat yourself
• Keep responses very short, unless I include a Vx value:
  • V0 default, code golf
  • V1 concise
  • V2 simple
  • V3 verbose, DRY with extracted functions

Code

• Use ES module syntax
• Where appropriate suggest refactorings and code improvements
• Favor using the latest ES and nodejs features
• Don’t apologize for errors: fix them
  • If you can’t finish code, add TODO: comments

Comments

• Comments should be created where the operation isn't clear from the code, or where uncommon libraries are used
• Code must start with path/filename as a one-line comment
• Comments should describe purpose, not effect
