I'm definitely in favour of having a JS coding standard as well -
preferably an industry standard rather than trying to duplicate the PHP
guidelines.

http://jscs.info/overview has a list of common presets (and the tool
itself might be useful for checking and autoformatting). As far as I
know, AirBNB and Google are the most commonly used presets.

It might also be worth having a consistent way of creating DOM elements
- either a consistent way of doing it in jQuery or a consistently used
template engine. For example, Bootstrap has a reasonably nice pure-
jQuery style - see

Title:
  Adopt PSR-2 for our PHP code format

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently Mahara has its own idiosyncratic code formatting guidelines:
  https://wiki.mahara.org/wiki/Developer_Area/Coding_guidelines

  It would make things easier for new devs, and improve tool support, if
  we switched to the industry standard PSR-2: http://www.php-
  fig.org/psr/psr-2/

  It would also be good to decide on a Javascript coding standard.
