Naming Everything (Case)

Formats

Naming Convention	Example	Description
camelCase	myVariableName	First word lowercase, subsequent words capitalized for readability.
snake_case	my_variable_name	All lowercase with underscores separating words.
SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE	MY_VARIABLE_NAME	All uppercase with underscores, typically used for constants.
PascalCase	MyVariableName	Each word starts with a capital letter.

camelCase

camelCase is a naming convention where the first word is lowercase and each subsequent word starts with a capital letter, improving readability (e.g., myVariableName).

snake_case

snake_case is a naming convention where words are written in lowercase and separated by underscores for clarity (e.g., my_variable_name).

SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE is a naming convention that's based on snake_case where all letters are uppercase and words are separated by underscores, typically used for constants (e.g., MY_VARIABLE_NAME).

PascalCase

PascalCase is a naming convention where each word starts with a capital letter and no separators are used, often for class names (e.g., MyVariableName).

Content

Variables

Local (l!) and Object (o!) variables use camelCase or snake_case. Constant (Global) Variables use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE.

Functions

Functions follow a similar pattern to variables, they use camelCase or snake_case

UI Elements (UITree)

UI Elements in the UITree use PascalCase.

Tables

Not yet defined. Use kebab-case for now. (eg. my-test-table)

Reason

By standardizing the basic naming of everything, it's easy to see what is what. (eg. MAX_VALUE is surely a constant)
