naming convention

[smeijer]

There is a part written about naming convention for publications:

When naming publications and methods, they should follow this naming convention:

[filename].[name]

For example, if we need to create a method called create inside the posts file, we name it posts.create.

Looking at the sample-blog-app, I can find the publications: posts.list, posts.single and posts.comments. All pretty obvious. But what will the naming convention be for more specific actions. Like publish all posts for one author?

• posts.by-author
• posts.list-by-author
• posts.list_by_author
• posts.listByAuthor
• posts.forAuthor
• posts.list.author

Is there a suggestion for this edge-case? I think my favorite would be posts.list-by-author. (Only not sure if we should do list-by-author or list-for-author. But that's more a grammar thing).

i'am for camelCase so posts.listByAuthor / posts.forAuthor. It's easier to write than other alternatives with -, _ or .

[Hamatek]

camelCase should be the convention for most of the code but publication might use sth like: posts.list.author

[achtan]

why publication should be an exception?

[arunoda]

I think camelCase is a good idea. May be we can write it down on the spec too.
Dot should be a separator for namespaces.

Agreed with camel case for this, it's basically the accepted standard for JS naming.

camelCase like posts.listByAuthor seems nice, should be added 👍
