tl;dr

If you must nest functions in a way that requires access to multiple this', alias outer this to something meaningful - describe the value it's holding. Treat this as the invisible first argument.

In general though, avoiding the situation (nested functions and frivolous use of this) will frequently produce clearer results.

Naming this in nested functions

I was accidentally included in a discussion on how to best name this in nested functions in JavaScript. +1's were given to this suggestion of using _this.

Giving style advice on naming nested this without a meaningful context isn't too helpful in my opinion. Examples below have been altered to have at least some context, although a completely contrived and stupid one.

CSS Coding Styleguide

• Use 2 spaces for indentation
• Avoid descendent selectors (.my-module p {…})
• With Sass avoid nesting too deeply
• Avoid attaching classes to elements (div.category {…})
• Avoid !important !!!
• Use percentages and box-sizing when possible
• Rely on the component library
• Try not to write any CSS if you can

user's time zone on that date, or an empty string if their
client's Intl support is missing or incomplete.

Time zones are locale-dependent. Users traveling outside of

Bringing BEM to inuit.css

BEM is a methodology for naming and classifying CSS selectors in a way to make them a lot more strict, transparent and informative.

The naming convention follows this pattern:

.block{}
.block__element{}
.block--modifier{}
