Naming a model class - El Forum - 06-22-2008

In the docs, it mentions this:

Code:
class Blogmodel extends Model {}

Then it mentions this:

Code:
class User_model extends Model {}

What's the best way to name my models? Should I use the underscore or not? If the object name has more than one word, which one is it?:

Code:
class Item_Image_model extends Model {}

Code:
class Item_image_model extends Model {}

Code:
class ItemImage_model extends Model {}

Code:
class ItemImageModel extends Model {}

I was confused as well then I decided to use "User_model".

Just choose the style you prefer and stick with it throughout your application. I particularly like underscores and dispise camelCase, but to each his own.

This new piece of the user guide explains what I was trying to figure out:

And just as I was going to say to user _ rather than camel case, because CI does it all that way, and it says so in the user guide!!
