## Browser support
Please make sure to support all modern browsers as well as Internet Explorer 11.
For IE support, polyfill is preferred over new usage of lodash or underscore. We already polyfill almost everything by importing babel-polyfill at the top of entry points.
## Coding guidelines, conventions and recommendations
### Typescript
* Follow this [typescript style guide](https://github.com/excelmicro/typescript) which is based on [airbnb's style guide](https://github.com/airbnb/javascript).
* Conventions speficic to this project:
- Use double-quotes for string
- Don't use `null`, use `undefined`
- Pascal case for private static readonly fields
- Camel case for classnames in markup
* Don't use class unless necessary
* Code related to notebooks should be dynamically imported so that it is loaded from a separate bundle only if the account is notebook-enabled. There are already top-level notebook components which are dynamically imported and their dependencies can be statically imported from these files.
* Prefer using [Fluent UI controls](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/controls/web) over creating your own, in order to maintain consistency and support a11y.
### React
* Prefer using React class components over function components and hooks unless you have a simple component and require no nested functions:
* Nested functions may be harder to test independently
* Switching from function component to class component later mayb be painful
## Testing
Any PR should not decrease testing coverage.
