6 Simple tips on how to write better readable code ✅

Le thread 🧵👇🏼

✅ Use meaningful function and variable names

Avoid long phrases when naming.

Booleans should start with a verb (eg isActive, isOpen, isMoved...)

Names should be short easily understood

✅ Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY)

A function is supposed to do just one thing!

Group tasks into functions and only call them when needed. This makes your code cleaner

Don't repeat code!

✅ Avoid deep nesting

Don't:
if(..
if(...
if(...

Do:
if(...) {... return}
if(...) {...return}

✅ Write defensive code

Identify undefined/null outcomes and defend yourself

let response = apiCall()
if(!response) {...}
continueExecution()

This way, the program will effectively handle null/undefined values first, then continue to execute if none returned.

✅ Indent & Space-out your code

Consistent spacing out and indenting makes your code more readable and cleaner
