 # Frontend Development Guidelines

+# Principles
+
+These principles will ensure that your frontend contribution starts off in the right direction.
+
+## Discuss architecture before implementation
+
+Discuss your architecture design in an issue before writing code. This helps decrease the review time and also provides good practice for writing and thinking about system design.
+
+## Be consistent
+
+There are multiple ways of writing code to accomplish the same results. We should be as consistent as possible in how we write code across our codebases. This will make it more easier us to maintain our code across GitLab.
+
+## Improve code [iteratively](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#iteration)
+
+Whenever you see with existing code that does not follow our current style guide, update it proactively. You don't need to fix everything, but each merge request should iteratively improve our codebase, and reduce technical debt where possible.

+- Mixing Vue and jQuery is not recommended.
+- If you need to use a specific jQuery plugin in Vue, [create a wrapper around it][https://vuejs.org/v2/examples/select2.html].
+- It is acceptable for Vue to listen to existing jQuery events using jQuery event listeners.
+- It is not recommended to add new jQuery events for Vue to interact with jQuery.

-# Security
-
-## Avoid inline scripts and styles
-
-Inline scripts and styles should be avoided in almost all cases. In an effort to protect users from [XSS vulnerabilities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting), we will be disabling inline scripts using Content Security Policy.
-
-## Including external resources
-
-External fonts, CSS, and JavaScript should never be used with the exception of Google Analytics and Piwik - and only when the instance has enabled it. Assets should always be hosted and served locally from the GitLab instance. Embedded resources via `iframes` should never be used except in certain circumstances such as with ReCaptcha, which cannot be used without an `iframe`.
