Hi all
I've took some time to look at jshint checks found on our code:
http://ci.phpmyadmin.net/job/phpMyAdmin-continuous/3132/violations/?#jslint
I've fixed some obvious ones (like missing ;, typecast safe comparing, missing radix for parseInt), but there are still many of them. Most of them fit into following case:
- ['strSave'] is better written in dot notation.
This error is raised to highlight an unnecessarily verbose and potentially confusing piece of code. More detailed explanation is at:
http://jslinterrors.com/a-is-better-written-in-dot-notation/
So both are more just matter of coding style rather than real bug and can be disabled in jshint. The question is whether we would prefer to hide these warnings or fix them.
Another question: which coding style do we prefer, the one with the dot notation or with the square brackets?
I think PMA_messages.strSave is shorter and looks nicer than PMA_messages['strSave'], though I don't have strong opinion on that. Also with messages (the most frequent of this warning in our case) we can be pretty sure we don't use reserved words, so the dot syntax is always safe here.
