IMPROVING APPLICATION PERFORMANCE Part 1
CACHING
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Cache values (references) • Avoid using
document.getElementById() and other global queries
DO THIS INSTEAD
OVER NESTING
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Use lightweight containers (reduce DOM) •
Lazy Rendering
DO THIS INSTEAD
MEMORY LEAKS
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD
INCREASING CODE STABILITY Part 2
SYNTAX ERRORS
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Use JSLint (or something else) •
AUTOMATE SYNTAX CHECKING
ONE CLASS PER FILE
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Organize your file system • Files
and folders should match namespacing • MVC (or something) • Development loader / Production builder
NAMES HAVE MEANING
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Descriptive names on everything (except iterators)
• Common naming conventions (camelCase vs TitleCase vs nocase) • Exceptions for • constants ( SOME_CONSTANT ) • constructors ( MyClass ) • sub-namespaces ( Foo.bar.Class )_
COMMENTS / DOCUMENTATION
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Comment top-level structures • Add notes
whenever logic is not obvious • Build your docs into a searchable tool
SCALING APPLICATIONS FOR ENTERPRISE Part 3
AVOID DUPLICATION
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Abstraction! • Use mixins when possible
• Apply stuff to prototypes • Have similar classes/methods? • call() and apply()
DO THIS INSTEAD
SMALLER FILES. WHITE SPACE.
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Keep methods under 50 lines •
Keep files under 500 lines • Use as much whitespace as possible.
UNIT TESTS
THIS CODE SUCKS
DO THIS INSTEAD • Write “testable” code • Focus on
important / trouble areas • AUTOMATE UNIT TESTING • Don’t insist on UI (integration/iteraction) tests * Test Driven JavaScript Development by Christian Johansen
