A small guide for naming stuff in front-end code

TypeScript will produce an error when using a function inside and if stmt without calling it:

    function f() {}
    if (f) {}

produces:

    This condition will always return true since this function is always defined. Did you mean to call it instead?(2774)

It seems that a linter tool would catch this even if TypeScript isn't used. In any case even if "get" is used, a coder might accidentally write

if (getBooleanProperty) { ... }

omitting the parens.
