For the past four years, I have been working on a Cordova app that runs on JavaScript. The codebase has grown to the point where working on it often feels like wandering through streets and alleys of a large city. And looking at some of the earlier modules feels like sauntering into old buildings I originally constructed years ago.

While my JS coding has evolved over this time, I often run into code in the app that feels inefficient and outdated - and it bothers me to the point where I usually feel compelled to eventually refactor it so that it is more compact, readable, and understandable.

Here are 7 time-tested tricks I use to rewrite my JavaScript code from those early days, published this month in Better Programming. I hope you find them useful. Enjoy!
