JavaScript Properties Best Practices

1. Use dot notation when accessing properties.

const luke = {
  jedi: true,
  age: 28,
};

// bad
const isJedi = luke['jedi'];

// good
const isJedi = luke.jedi;

2. Use bracket notation [ ] when accessing properties with a variable.

const luke = {
  jedi: true,
  age: 28,
};

function getProp(prop) {
  return luke[prop];
}

const isJedi = getProp('jedi');

3. Use the exponentiation operator ** when calculating exponentiations.

// bad
const binary = Math.pow(2, 10);

// good
const binary = 2 ** 10;
