# Style guide: Engine
## Contributing
For more advice on contributing to the engine, see the [relevant section](../../CONTRIBUTING.md#Contributing-code) of `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## General guidelines
1. Prefer granular imports over glob imports like `bevy_ecs::prelude::*`.
2. Use a consistent comment style:
1. `///` doc comments belong above `#[derive(Trait)]` invocations.
2. `//` comments should generally go above the line in question, rather than in-line.
3. Avoid `/* */` block comments, even when writing long comments.
4. Use \`variable_name\` code blocks in comments to signify that you're referring to specific types and variables.
5. Start comments with capital letters. End them with a period if they are sentence-like.
3. Use comments to organize long and complex stretches of code that can't sensibly be refactored into separate functions.
## Rust API guidelines
As a reference for our API development we are using the [Rust API guidelines][Rust API guidelines]. Generally, these should be followed, except for the following areas of disagreement:
### Areas of disagreements
Some areas mentioned in the [Rust API guidelines][Rust API guidelines] we do not agree with. These areas will be expanded whenever we find something else we do not agree with, so be sure to check these from time to time.
> All items have a rustdoc example
- This guideline is too strong and not applicable for everything inside of the Bevy game engine. For functionality that requires more context or needs a more interactive demonstration (such as rendering or input features), make use of the `examples` folder instead.
> Examples use ?, not try!, not unwrap
- This guideline is usually reasonable, but not always required.
> Only smart pointers implement Deref and DerefMut
- Generally a good rule of thumb, but we're probably going to deliberately violate this for single-element wrapper types like `Life(u32)`. The behavior is still predictable and it significantly improves ergonomics / new user comprehension.
