Style Guide

1. Use tabs in all files, instead of spaces.
2. Naming conventions - my_var, funcAsync, MyClass.
3. Follow the modern convention of using let and const, instead of var for declaring variables.

About Branches

• When creating a new feature/change, always create a branch(in git), before making any significant changes to code. This keeps the master branch of the code stable. (See workflow in git_instructions.md for more details)
• Branches should not be merged directly in master, but by creating a Pull Request. This allows for better communication on the new feature/change.

External modules

• Try to minimize use of 3rd party libraries, whenever possible.
• Add modules to package.json before commit, by running npm install --save express or npm install --save-dev nodemon, whichever is appropriate.
