# Deno Standard Modules
|
||
|
||
[](https://dev.azure.com/denoland/deno_std/_build/latest?definitionId=2?branchName=master)
|
||
|
||
These modules do not have external dependencies and they are reviewed by the
|
||
Deno core team. The intention is to have a standard set of high quality code
|
||
that all Deno projects can use fearlessly.
|
||
|
||
Contributions are welcome!
|
||
|
||
## How to use
|
||
|
||
These modules are tagged in accordance with Deno releases. So, for example, the
|
||
v0.2.6 tag is guaranteed to work with deno v0.2.6.
|
||
You can link to v0.2.6 using the URL `https://deno.land/x/std@v0.2.6/`
|
||
|
||
It's strongly recommended that you link to tagged releases rather than the
|
||
master branch. The project is still young and we expect disruptive renames in
|
||
the future.
|
||
|
||
## Style Guide
|
||
|
||
### Use TypeScript
|
||
|
||
### Use the term "module" instead of "library" or "package"
|
||
|
||
For clarity and consistency avoid the terms "library" and "package". Instead use
|
||
"module" to refer to a single JS or TS file and also to refer to a directory of
|
||
TS/JS code.
|
||
|
||
### Do not use the filename `index.ts` nor `index.js`
|
||
|
||
Deno does not treat "index.js" or "index.ts" in a special way. By using these
|
||
filenames, it suggests that they can be left out of the module specifier when
|
||
they cannot. This is confusing.
|
||
|
||
If a directory of code needs a default entry point, use the filename `mod.ts`.
|
||
The filename `mod.ts` follows Rust’s convention, is shorter than `index.ts`, and
|
||
doesn’t come with any preconceived notions about how it might work.
|
||
|
||
### Within `deno_std`, do not depend on external code
|
||
|
||
`deno_std` is intended to be baseline functionality that all Deno programs can
|
||
rely on. We want to guarantee to users that this code does not include
|
||
potentially unreviewed third party code.
|
||
|
||
### Within `deno_std`, minimize dependencies; do not make circular imports.
|
||
|
||
Although `deno_std` is a standalone codebase, we must still be careful to keep
|
||
the internal dependencies simple and manageable. In particular, be careful to
|
||
not to introduce circular imports.
|
||
|
||
### For consistency, use underscores, not dashes in filenames.
|
||
|
||
Example: Instead of `file-server.ts` use `file_server.ts`.
|
||
|
||
### Format code according using prettier.
|
||
|
||
More specifically, code should be wrapped at 80 columns and use 2-space
|
||
indentation and use camel-case. Use `//format.ts` to invoke prettier.
|
||
|
||
### Exported functions: max 2 args, put the rest into an options object.
|
||
|
||
When designing function interfaces, stick to the following rules.
|
||
|
||
1. A function that is part of the public API takes 0-2 required arguments,
|
||
plus (if necessary) an options object (so max 3 total).
|
||
|
||
2. Optional parameters should generally go into the options object.
|
||
|
||
An optional parameter that's not in an options object might be acceptable
|
||
if there is only one, and it seems inconceivable that we would add more
|
||
optional parameters in the future.
|
||
|
||
3. The 'options' argument is the only argument that is a regular 'Object'.
|
||
|
||
Other arguments can be objects, but they must be distinguishable from a
|
||
'plain' Object runtime, by having either:
|
||
|
||
- a distinguishing prototype (e.g. `Array`, `Map`, `Date`, `class MyThing`)
|
||
- a well-known symbol property (e.g. an iterable with `Symbol.iterator`).
|
||
|
||
This allows the API to evolve in a backwards compatible way, even when the
|
||
position of the options object changes.
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
// BAD: optional parameters not part of options object. (#2)
|
||
export function resolve(
|
||
hostname: string,
|
||
family?: "ipv4" | "ipv6",
|
||
timeout?: number
|
||
): IPAddress[] {}
|
||
|
||
// GOOD.
|
||
export interface ResolveOptions {
|
||
family?: "ipv4" | "ipv6";
|
||
timeout?: number;
|
||
}
|
||
export function resolve(
|
||
hostname: string,
|
||
options: ResolveOptions = {}
|
||
): IPAddress[] {}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
export interface Environment {
|
||
[key: string]: string;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// BAD: `env` could be a regular Object and is therefore indistinguishable
|
||
// from an options object. (#3)
|
||
export function runShellWithEnv(cmdline: string, env: Environment): string {}
|
||
|
||
// GOOD.
|
||
export interface RunShellOptions {
|
||
env: Environment;
|
||
}
|
||
export function runShellWithEnv(
|
||
cmdline: string,
|
||
options: RunShellOptions
|
||
): string {}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
// BAD: more than 3 arguments (#1), multiple optional parameters (#2).
|
||
export function renameSync(
|
||
oldname: string,
|
||
newname: string,
|
||
replaceExisting?: boolean,
|
||
followLinks?: boolean
|
||
) {}
|
||
|
||
// GOOD.
|
||
interface RenameOptions {
|
||
replaceExisting?: boolean;
|
||
followLinks?: boolean;
|
||
}
|
||
export function renameSync(
|
||
oldname: string,
|
||
newname: string,
|
||
options: RenameOptions = {}
|
||
) {}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
// BAD: too many arguments. (#1)
|
||
export function pwrite(
|
||
fd: number,
|
||
buffer: TypedArray,
|
||
offset: number,
|
||
length: number,
|
||
position: number
|
||
) {}
|
||
|
||
// BETTER.
|
||
export interface PWrite {
|
||
fd: number;
|
||
buffer: TypedArray;
|
||
offset: number;
|
||
length: number;
|
||
position: number;
|
||
}
|
||
export function pwrite(options: PWrite) {}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Use JS Doc to document exported machinery
|
||
|
||
We strive for complete documentation. Every exported symbol ideally should have
|
||
a documentation line.
|
||
|
||
If possible, use a single line for the JS Doc. Example:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
/** foo does bar. */
|
||
export function foo() {
|
||
// ...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#documenting-apis)
|
||
for more details.
|
||
|
||
### TODO Comments
|
||
|
||
TODO comments should be include an issue or the author's github username in
|
||
parentheses. Example:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
// TODO(ry) Add tests.
|
||
// TODO(#123) Support Windows.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Copyright headers
|
||
|
||
Most files in `deno_std` should have the following copyright header:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
// Copyright 2018-2019 the Deno authors. All rights reserved. MIT license.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If the code originates elsewhere, ensure that the file has the proper copyright
|
||
headers. We only allow MIT, BSD, and Apache licensed code in `deno_std`.
|
||
|
||
### Top level functions should not use arrow syntax
|
||
|
||
Top level functions should use the `function` keyword. Arrow syntax should be
|
||
limited to closures.
|
||
|
||
Bad
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
export const foo(): string => {
|
||
return "bar";
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Good
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
export function foo(): string {
|
||
return "bar";
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Meta-programming is discouraged. Including the use of Proxy.
|
||
|
||
Be explicit even when it means more code.
|
||
|
||
There are some situations where it may make sense to use such techniques, but in
|
||
the vast majority of cases it does not.
|
||
|
||
### If a filename starts with underscore, do not link to it: `_foo.ts`
|
||
|
||
Sometimes there maybe situations where an internal module is necessary but its
|
||
API is not meant to be stable or linked to. In this case prefix it with an
|
||
underscore. By convention, only files in its own directory should import it.
|
||
|
||
### When referencing Deno online, use the #denoland tag.
|
||
|
||
The name "deno" unfortunately is not especially unique on the internet. In order
|
||
to centralize the community, please tag github project, tweet, and other content
|
||
with `#denoland`.
