## Quotes
- Always use double quotes (`"`) for JSX attributes, but single quotes for all other JS.

> Why? JSX attributes [can't contain escaped quotes](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/jsx-quotes), so double quotes make conjunctions like `"don't"` easier to type.
> Regular HTML attributes also typically use double quotes instead of single, so JSX attributes mirror this convention.

```javascript
// bad
<Foo bar='bar' />
