Functions​

JavaScript functions are usually written in camelcase. In addition, it's a best practice to actually tell what the function is doing by giving the function name a verb as prefix.

// good
function getName(firstName, lastName) {
  return `${firstName} ${lastName}`;
}

// bad
function name(firstName, lastName) {
  return `${firstName} ${lastName}`;
}

This verb as prefix can be anything (e.g. get, fetch, push, apply, calculate, compute, post). It's yet another soft rule to consider for having more self-descriptive JavaScript functions.
