+# Coding Style
+
+## File Layout (`src/components/*.js`)
+
+1. Imports
+2. Reusabe components needed for the main component
+3. Main component (Eg: Addons in addons.js)
+4. export default \<MainComponent\>;
+
+## Reusable components
+
+* Do not make a new file for smaller components.
+* Smaller, reusable components neeeded in the main components should be added **above** the main component, **not** inside it.
+* Use ES6 arrow functions for defining components.
+
+## Spacing
+
+1. **JS:**
+    * Use a space after `if`, `for`, `while`, `switch`.
+    * Do not use a space after the opening `(` and before the closing `)`.
+    * Use a space before and after destructuring objects.
+    ```js
+        //good
+        const { apple, mangoes } = fruits;
+        
+        //bad
+        const {apple, mangoes} = fruits;
+
+
+        //Same for destructuring props:
+        //good
+        const BeautifulComponent = ({ prop1, prop2 }) => {}
+
+        //bad
+        const UglyComponent = ({prop1, prop2}) => {}
+    ```
+
+2. **JSX:**
+    * Use a space before the forward slash (`/`) of a self-closing tag
+    ```js
+    //good
+    <Foo />
+
+    //bad 
+    <Foo/>
+    ```
+    * Do **not** use spaces for JSX curly braces
+    ```js
+    //good
+    <Foo bar={baz} />
+
+    //bad
+    <Foo bar={ baz } />
+    ```
+
+## **Props:**
+
+* Use camelCase for prop names, or PascalCase if the prop value is a React component.
+* Use new lines when props do not fit on the same line.
+    ```js
+    //good
+    <Foo 
+        prop1={value1}
+        prop2={value2}
+        prop3={value3}
+    />
+
+    //bad
+    <Foo prop1={value1} prop2={value2} prop3={value3} />
+    ```
+
+## **Best practices:**
+
+* **Always** add semicolons after a line.
+* Use ES6 arrow functions.
+* Keep the indentation in your code correct.
+* Use 4 spaces for tabs.
+* Don't Repeat Yourself. If you think you're repeating too much code, make a smaller component, or a function.
+* **Always** add alt prop to `img` tags.
+* Add `rel="noopener"` for `a` tags which has `target="_blank"`.
+* Don't do `outline: none` on user input elements. If you do not want outline, give them faint, visible background on focus. This is for accessibility.
+
+### Other things to note
+
+* We are using [octicons](https://primer.style/octicons/) for icons. Use this if you need to add icons. Do **not** add a new library for icons.
+* Try to not commit changes in `package.json`, `package-lock.json`. 
+* Disscuss with contributors on discord if you're planning to add/remove a package.
