That might work. Unfortunately abbreviations are forbidden by the Google Style Guide.
> As for lining up
my point still holds. Either lining up helps or it doesn't. If it doesn't help then lining up comments should not be allowed. If it does help, then it helps every where.
var infos = [
{ name: "red", value: [255, 0, 0, 255], },
{ name: "green", value: [ 0, 255, 0, 255], },
{ name: "blue", value: [ 0, 0, 255, 255], }
];
Is vastly easier to read and find errors in IMO than this
var infos = [
{ name: "red", value: [255, 0, 0, 255], },
{ name: "green", value: [ 0, 255, 0, 255], },
{ name: "blue", value: [ 0, 0, 255, 255], }
];
The first is not allowed by the Google Style guide. It requires the 2nd.
- mundizzle 14y agoi generally avoid putting all properties of an object in one the same line in the name of readability and also to avoid the 80 char limit. instead i do something like this. (incorrect trailing commas removed from the previous example) var infos = [ { name: "red", value: [255, 0, 0, 255] }, { name: "green", value: [0, 255, 0, 255] }, { name: "blue", value: [0, 0, 255, 255] } ];
