# Coding convention
|
||||
|
||||
## Language
|
||||
|
||||
The language of this project is **C++**, and all new code must be written in C++. (Modern) C++ provides a lot of useful tools and functionalities that are beneficial for embedded software development like `constexpr`, `template` and anything that provides zero-cost abstraction.
|
||||
|
||||
C code is accepted if it comes from another library like FreeRTOS, NimBLE, LVGL or the NRF-SDK.
|
||||
|
||||
## Coding style
|
||||
|
||||
The most important rule to follow is to try to keep the code as easy to read and maintain as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
Using an autoformatter is highly recommended, but make sure it's configured properly.
|
||||
|
||||
There are preconfigured autoformatter rules for:
|
||||
|
||||
* CLion (IntelliJ) in [.idea/codeStyles/Project.xml](/.idea/codeStyles/Project.xml)
|
||||
* `clang-format`
|
||||
|
||||
Also use `clang-tidy` to check the code for other issues.
|
||||
|
||||
If there are no preconfigured rules for your IDE, you can use one of the existing ones to configure your IDE.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Indentation** : 2 spaces, no tabulation
|
||||
- **Opening brace** at the end of the line
|
||||
- **Naming** : Choose self-describing variable name
|
||||
- **class** : PascalCase
|
||||
- **namespace** : PascalCase
|
||||
- **variable** : camelCase, **no** prefix/suffix ('_', 'm_',...) for class members
|
||||
- **Include guard** : `#pragma once` (no `#ifdef __MODULE__ / #define __MODULE__ / #endif`)
|
||||
- **Includes** :
|
||||
- files from the project : `#include "relative/path/to/the/file.h"`
|
||||
- external files and std : `#include <file.h>`
|
||||
- Only use [primary spellings for operators and tokens](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_alternative)
|
||||
- Use auto sparingly. Don't use auto for [fundamental/built-in types](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/types) and [fixed width integer types](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/integer), except when initializing with a cast to avoid duplicating the type name.
|
||||
- Examples:
|
||||
- `auto* app = static_cast<DisplayApp*>(instance);`
|
||||
- `auto number = static_cast<uint8_t>(variable);`
|
||||
- `uint8_t returnValue = MyFunction();`
|
||||
- Use nullptr instead of NULL

|

## Why all these rules?
|
||||
|
||||
Reviewing pull requests is a **very time consuming task** for the creator of this project ([JF002](https://github.com/JF002)) and for other contributors who take the time to review them. Everything you do to make reviewing easier will **get your PR merged faster**.

|
||||
|
||||
When reviewing PRs, the author and contributors will first look at the **description**. If it's easy to understand what the PR does, why the modification is needed or interesting and how it's done, a good part of the work is already done : we understand the PR and its context.

|
||||
|
||||
Then, reviewing **a few files that were modified for a single purpose** is a lot more easier than to review 30 files modified for many reasons (bug fix, UI improvements, typos in doc,...), even if all these changes make sense. Also, it's possible that we agree on some modification but not on some other, so we won't be able to merge the PR because of the changes that are not accepted.

We do our best to keep the code as consistent as possible. If the formatting of the code in your PR is not consistent with our code base, we'll ask you to review it, which will take more time.

The last step of the review consists of **testing** the modification. If it doesn't work out of the box, we'll ask your to review your code and to ensure that it works as expected.

|

|

It's totally normal for a PR to need some more work even after it was created, that's why we review them. But every round trip takes time, so it's good practice to try to reduce them as much as possible by following those simple rules.
