More Style guide rules needed

Cant believe I have to come back to this in 2022. But its worth mentioning that some rules I have found in wild are way important to miss

• When creating server side variables its best to use a variation of nearest found variable with maybe adding 1 at the end of it or changing case of one the letters in middle.
• For html custom attributes (common in Angular,Vue,Web Component world) use the number based naming for example att1,att2,att2 instead of gallery-width, gallery-height, has-thumbnails etc. This saves a lot of time and easy to iterate in JS.
• Services, Components and Modules are all just folders in JS worlds. You can easily put all their code in one file and it will run the same. Avoid extra folders where possible.
• Promises and Fetch must not have any catch statements. The more errors you try to catch the busier the code gets so keep it free for other important things.
• When performing an async operation never tell the user about loading. They already know about their slow internet problems, showing them a loader shows negativity in your app. They will randomly wait and click around. Instead try to handle click event on overlay and show a message that "your internet is slow my code is ok on localhost"
• When showing a calendar try to show start date as 1/1/1970 as this is default date of most databases. There are more chances of user selecting correct date if you show them this.
• Add complete libraries to the project instead of adding the component you need. This keeps it secret as to what is being used from that library. By exposing what module is being loaded you are telling others too much about your project. import * is your friend here.
• import library and expose it to window object for global access instead of modules. This lets everyone use it. Sharing is caring.
• When using local storage try to find an existing key and add a | your new variable at the end of it. This reduced number of variables in local storage. Read the single variable and split by | to create your data. This is way faster than json stringify and parse.

I have some more come across in last year or so but if someone can rewrite these in while I look at what other things I have seen in PHP,C# and JS world.

@ryanpcmcquen I have not created a fork this time because I think some of these might be covered in more generic ones but if you want to take few of them and want me to write them in let me know.

Ha! I laughed, would like a PR.

[mfsbo]

Done

Any chance this is going to be merged?

Two more I saw today:

• If you paste code from stackoverflow and it does not work then comment it all and paste more below it. Its easy to go back up than going back to stackoverflow and it also helps if internet is down.
• If you are the only person on project then do changes live on the server. If you can access the data center try to go there and do it in the room where your server is. Risk of slowing down decreases as you get closer to the server.
