The beauty of JavaScript Standard Style is that it's simple. No one wants to maintain multiple hundred-line style configuration files for every module/project they work on. Enough of this madness!

This module saves you (and others!) time in three ways:

No configuration. The easiest way to enforce consistent style in your project. Just drop it in. Automatically format code. Just run standard --fix and say goodbye to messy or inconsistent code. Catch style issues & programmer errors early. Save precious code review time by eliminating back-and-forth between reviewer & contributor. Adopting standard style means ranking the importance of code clarity and community conventions higher than personal style. This might not make sense for 100% of projects and development cultures, however open source can be a hostile place for newbies. Setting up clear, automated contributor expectations makes a project healthier.
