Style guide

We use the Airbnb Style Guide, with some changes and additions.

Changes

Rule	Airbnb	BES	Comment
class-methods-use-this	error	off	This rule was made to encourage the usage of static methods where possible. However, there are valid reasons to not use a static method, even if this is not required (eg testability, inheritance, using functionality via the instance rather than the class).
import/order	error	warn
import/prefer-default-export	error	off
no-await-in-loop	error	off	This is a common syntax for async operations that must be performed serially.
no-continue	error	off	In most cases it is preferable to break our functions into smaller ones than use continue. However, sometimes it serves as a compromise between performance and readability. Also, it is useful in refactoring big functions in legacy code.
no-plusplus	error	off	A standard in for loops, which we allow.
no-prototype-builtins	error	off
no-restricted-globals	error	off
no-restricted-syntax	Restrict for...of loops	Allow for...of loops
no-use-before-define	error	off
radix	error	off	In the vast majority of the cases we just use the default radix of 10. There is one case where this rule would be useful: array.map(parseInt), where radix will be wrongly set to the array index of each iteration. Unfortunately this rule's implementation does not cover this scenario.
react/forbid-prop-types	Forbid array, object	Allow array, object
react/jsx-filename-extension	Allow only .jsx	off
react/jsx-one-expression-per-line	['error', { allow: 'single-child' }]	off
react/jsx-props-no-spreading	error	off
react/no-did-update-set-state	error	off
