Enforce a coding standard

[Mardaneus86]

Issue placeholder to enforce a coding standard throughout to project.

Also add proper contribution guidelines for Pull Requests to the Readme and/or repository.

Some suggestions from my point of view:

• 👍Project is already using the eslint airbnb config
• Commitizen (Project already uses a specified commit format)
• Stylelint
• For the longterm: TypeScript

I recommend using prettier: https://github.com/prettier/prettier just because it imposes opinion about code formatting, and takes the decision out of developer hands.

@pratik60 I don't think there is much need for prettier since the project is already using the even more popular airbnb javascript guidelines.

Prettier is great because you don't have to think about the javascript guidelines, as with editor plugins it autosaves it in the right format. Its removes friction from code reviews, or the cognitive overload so that you don't have to think about js guidelines.

Cool to not have it, was just a suggestion.

Same applies to the eslint config by Airbnb 😊 On top of code style it contains also rules to prevent code smells

Definitely consider adding Prettier. I would hate to work on a codebase that doesn't have it nowadays—it's one of those things you don't truly appreciate until it isn't there any more.
