Hello, my advice on the matter of "good coding style" and "best practices" are that these are similar to bandwagons. The smarter thing to do would be to try and gain some understanding of the existing practices and where they come from.
that said : - the node.js codebase itself has a pretty straighforward coding style - express has had a lot of contributors and does some pretty clever stuff - I don't like request's coding style and particularily not how it's just one big file - any of substack's module is a good place to start as they are usually small and easy to wrap your head around - nodejitsu/flatiron codebases are pretty well done in my opinion, very organised - strongloop code should be ok to look at as well On Saturday, 13 December 2014 00:03:02 UTC+1, Justin Maat wrote: > > Apologies since I know this is sort of a broad question, but I'm fairly > new with Node and trying to wrap my helload around some best practices.
