Modern JS: don't use `var` in css-examples #163

Open teoli2003 opened 11 months ago

teoli2003 commented 11 months ago

Quite a few examples in this repo extensively use var.

This is a bad practice; we have eliminated them from mdn/content (and other repos). We should do the same here: most will be simply replaced by const and let, although there may be a few more complex cases (where var is used inside a scope for a variable at a higher scope)

@teoli2003 Sir If it possible to allow me to fix this issue ?

teoli2003 commented 10 months ago

Just go ahead; it is yours. Don't create too big PRs, they take longer to review.

pragyamishra56 commented 10 months ago

@teoli2003 Sir Thanks for pointing this out! I completely agree with eliminating the use of 'var'. It's considered a best practice to use 'const' and 'let' for better scope management. I'll work on addressing this across the repository, replacing 'var' with the appropriate declarations. Your input is highly appreciated!

@teoli2003 Sir, Replace extensive var usage with const/let, aligning with the best So, should I replace 'var' with 'const/let'?

teoli2003 commented 9 months ago

Yes.

pragyamishra56 commented 9 months ago

@teoli2003 Sir, Could you confirm that In every JS file, I will replace the var with const/let?

teoli2003 commented 9 months ago

With the relevant one, yes. If you are not sure, start with one file.

pragyamishra56 commented 9 months ago

@teoli2003 Sir, Issue #163 is resolved now could you please have a look at it if any issue is raised then let me know

teoli2003 commented 9 months ago

You need to open a pull request.

pragyamishra56 commented 9 months ago

@teoli2003 Sir I opened a pull request could you review it if any further issue is raised then let me know

pragyamishra56 commented 9 months ago

@teoli2003 Sir, could you respond to my PR? If any further issues are raised then let me know

@teoli2003 Responded here: https://github.com/mdn/css-examples/pull/171#issuecomment-1907681148 - essentially you can't just search and replace across the examples to fix this. Because each case needs a separate check and review, it would be better if this was split across a number of PRs

pragyamishra56 commented 9 months ago

@hamishwillee Sir I appreciate the clarification. I agree that a more thorough approach is needed. I'll work on breaking down the changes into separate PRs for a more comprehensive review. Thanks for guiding me through this process.

@teoli2003 Sir, if you agree, can I make changes to each file individually and then create pull requests? You mentioned that I should start with one file, it will be reviewed, and the pull request will be merged.
