What are conventions?
π Coding conventions are a set of guidelines for a specific programming language that recommend programming style, practices, and methods for each aspect of a program written in that language.These are guidelines for software structural quality.
PascalCase
PascalCase is a naming convention in which the first letter of each word in a compound word is capitalized. Software developers often use PascalCase when writing source code to name functions, classes, and other objects.
π Example :
var UserName = "Adarsh";
camelCase πͺ
camelCase describes the practice of writing phrases such that each word or abbreviation in the middle of the phrase begins with a capital letter, without intervening spaces or punctuation.
π Example :
var userName = "Adarsh";
snake_case π
Snake case is the practice of writing compound words in which the words are separated by one underscore character and no spaces. The first letter is either upper- or lowercase. It is commonly used in declaring variable names, function names, and sometimes computerβs filenames.
π Example :
var user_name = "Adarsh";
kebab-case π’
all letters are written in lower case and the words are separated by a hyphen or minus sign. The kebab notation is often used as a convention for naming filenames.
π Example :
var user-name = "Adarsh";

Good high level overview!
For more detailed JS naming conventions, I highly recommend to refer to the Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide
Airbnb is what i personally prefer β₯οΈ but beginners find it overwhelming when they see es6 , react or even something like arrow function, I'll definitely recommend my readers to go through Airbnb Guide at the end of seriesπ€
