Common Naming Patterns

1. camelCase

   • Usage: Variables, functions, method names
   • Examples: getUserData, firstName, calculateTotal

2. PascalCase

   • Usage: Classes, constructor functions, React components
   • Examples: UserProfile, DatabaseConnection, TodoList

3. snake_case

   • Usage: File names, certain constants
   • Examples: max_retries, user_settings.js

4. SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

   • Usage: Global constants, environment variables
   • Examples: MAX_CONNECTIONS, API_KEY, DEFAULT_TIMEOUT

5. kebab-case

   • Usage: HTML attributes, CSS properties, file names
   • Examples: data-user-id, background-color, user-profile.js

Current Issue

Our codebase currently mixes snake_case and camelCase conventions. We need to select one approach and maintain consistency across the code.

I prefer camelCase usually but I am also ok with snake_case. These should only be recommendations anyways. We wouldn't change existing definitions to create unnecessary chaos.
