JavaScript - Naming Conventions and Coding Standards

Naming Conventions:

I am going to write naming conventions for JavaScript. This will be inspired by ASP.NET AJAX Library.

Target	Convention	Example
js file name	Pascal Casing	MicrosoftAjax.js
Namespace	Pascal Casing	Sys.Serialization; Type.registerNameSpace(“Model”);
Class	Pascal Casing	JavaScriptSerializer
Methods	Camel Casing	serialize(text); deserialize(object);
Input Parameters	Camel Casing	parse(text); // text is in camel case
Private Class Variables	use _ with camel casing	var _firstName;
Public Class Variables	this.<Camel Casing>	this.isStrong = true; // this is used to define a member as public
Class Properties // properties are public	get_<camel casing> or set_<camel casing>	this.get_firstName: function(){ return _firstName; } this.set_firstName: function(value){ this._firstName = value; }
Method Variables	Camel Casing	var index = 0;
