QUESTION 26 OF 30

How do you organize your JavaScript code?

There is no right or wrong way to organize JavaScript code. The interviewer will ask this question to better understand your web development methodologies and how you do your job. This will confirm your experience and let them know if your work is compatible with how their team currently performs similar tasks. They are also interested in seeing if you have work systems that will help improve their web development team's operations. Answering this question accurately is important for these reasons.

"There are several different ways I organize my JavaScript code. The first is I keep my JavaScript separate from my HTML code. This makes it easy to identify and retrieve when I need it. I also organize my JavaScript into logical groups and keep them in separate files. Sometimes I will concatenate these files into a single bundle if the code I need is similar to what I used in a previous project. Another technique I use is to create JavaScript namespaces which help avoid cluttering up the global namespace."
