angularjs-style-guide is a community-driven style guide providing a comprehensive set of best practices, conventions, and architectural recommendations for developing applications with the AngularJS framework. It codifies directory structure, naming conventions, module organization, controllers, directives, services, templates, routing, testing, and other AngularJS-specific patterns — offering a consistent baseline for teams working on medium- to large-scale AngularJS apps. By prescribing such conventions, the guide helps improve code readability, maintainability, testability, and project scalability, reducing “spaghetti code” or inconsistent patterns across contributors. The style guide does not try to cover generic JavaScript style (which are left to standard JS style guides), but focuses on AngularJS-specific idioms and practices, making it highly relevant for any AngularJS codebase.
Features
- Detailed conventions for directory structure, naming, modules, controllers, directives, services, and templates in AngularJS projects
- Guidelines for routing, testing, i18n, performance-related patterns, and code organization beyond trivial examples
- Community-driven and language-internationalized (multiple translations available) for broad accessibility
- Helps enforce consistency, maintainability, and readability across AngularJS codebases
- Suitable for medium- and large-scale projects where many developers collaborate and need common conventions
- Provides best-practice guidance rather than rigid enforcement — letting teams adapt partially or fully as needed
