Shaz's questions

According to Wikipedia , the programming style is:

Programming style (also called code standards or code convention) is a term that describes conventions for writing source code in certain programming languages.

Programming style is often dependent on the programming language chosen to write. For example, the style of the C programming language will vary from that of the BASIC language.

In several languages ​​there are style guides that we could call "official" as in the case of PHP and Python, although they are a recommendation, not a mandatory standard:

• PHP: PSR-2
• Python: PEP 8

In HTML, CSS and JS I use the Google style guides:

HTML/CSS StyleGuide

JavaScript StyleGuide

My question is:

Are there other more recognized or "official" style guides for HTML, CSS and JS?

I have a small function that returns the value that has the highest priority, which for now is not defined anywhere, just because of the order in which I evaluate the values:

public function obtenerValorMasImportante($datos = null) {

    if ($datos->getDato1()) {
        return 'dato1';
    }
    if ($datos->getDatoX()) {
        return 'datox';
    }
    if ($datos->getLoQueSea()) {
        return 'loquesea';
    }
    if ($datos->getOtraCosa()) {
        return 'otracosa';
    }
    return false;
}

The problem is simple: the code works, but what if I have 100 values? I would have to write 100 ifand it is not a good idea, I am not flowing with ideas at this time of day either.

I have no further control over the object $datos, so modifying it or adding information to it is not an option.

How could I reduce the number of if? or failing that, make the code independent of the number of values.

This is the example code of a controller and the normal handling (not AJAX) of a Request or request.

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Store a new user.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @return Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $name = $request->input('name');
        //
    }
}

What should I do to make it work also for AJAX requests in the function store()?

If I create another function storeAjax(), I can include it in routes.php (with a new route assigned) and it works, but it's not a good practice, since I have 2 routes and it must be the same for both requests.
