Ask HN: JavaScript code base to read and learn from I just discovered this amazing site http://www.readingcodegood.com/ and watched the talk, it's very inspire. She gives good examples of Ruby that is nearly ~ 100 line of code. I just want to do this exercise with JavaScript and I want to get some very good and clean JavaScript code to read and learn from. Any suggestions? Thanks |
There are also multiple camps which battle about whether too use semicolons at all and where to place commas that separate the individual parts of `var` statements. I'm not going to take any sides here, since I think that style is something everyone has to decide on their own :)
Now as for the code to read, there's obviously jQuery, but Angular.js is definitely a good read too these days.

If you're into parsing (or want to learn about it), there's also Esprima which is a JavaScript Parser written in JavaScript:

Taking a look at NPM might give you an idea of another syntax style, since commas are infront of the lines here and there are no semicolons:

And last but no least a shameless plug or two!
gbaasm this is a assembler for z80 GameBoy code (which takes assembly files and build a ROM) written by myself, it has a big focus on performance and is another example of lexing / parsing source code.

For something short and sweet I got a minimal 2D physics engine here. Beware though, if you're new to physics simulation is can be quite hard to figure out what excactly is going on:
