They are principles endorsed by "Clean Code" book authors and adapted for JavaScript. Following them will make your code readable, reusable, and refactorable.

Many developers aren't committed to these principles, making a no-maintainable code.

Following these 5 JavaScript principles, you will make an excellent clean code.
Here they are:

  • Use searchable names

  • Avoid Mental Mapping

  • Use explanatory variables

  • Only add the necessary context

  • Use pronounceable and meaningful variable names
