Adapt a code style

[gajus]

Adapt a code style and declare "lint" script.

It is really hard to contribute to a codebase when it has not adapted code style.

I am biased (author), but I recommend eslint-config-canonical as it is the most strict of the existing style guides (, which has its pros and cons).

Alternatively, please have a look at https://github.com/dustinspecker/awesome-eslint.

If you choose to go with Canonical style guide, I will happily submit a PR.

I am biased as well (which dev isn't?)... but my recommendation would be Standard: https://github.com/feross/standard - you can see that it's well past 5k stars and the primary principle is to not bikeshed on style and just get work done. Any eslint-config will almost certainly involve tinkering around with style properties and have other committers debate the merits of those changes. With standard, you're drawing a hardline in the sand and getting back to work.

That argument applies to any eslint config... "standard" name does not make it an exception.

Besides, eslint-config-standard is not a real style guide. It only defines a bare minimum of style requirements.

@phpnode See the changes I have done for node-mysql2. https://github.com/sidorares/node-mysql2/pull/268

I am happy to contribute equivalent style config and changes to this code base.

@gajus that'd be awesome, thanks! I've added you as a collab on github.

Standard is out because of the semi-colons thing, you can prise them from my cold, dead, fingers 😄

@phpnode Would you like me to branch from master or v2 branch?

It doesn't in this case, because by design, standard is not configurable. You'd be correct if I recommended https://github.com/feross/eslint-config-standard

Cool, fair enough. There's https://github.com/Flet/semistandard for that 😛

But on a serious note, I'm glad this issue was brought up. Any style is better than no style and I'm glad to see this this as it'll make everyone more productive and allow them to focus on what really matters.
