Naming & overthinking - HarmW94 - 12-24-2023 Hi, I'm curious how you name classes, functions, variables, etc. Sometimes I notice that this can get in the way of my speed because then I start to think too hard, even though hardly anyone sees the code. But I like an overview and a standard naming for a project. This is normally how I should do it, for example: Database (users): userId userEmail userFirstName userLastName userLastSeen userCreatedAt userUpdatedAt AuthController: logoutHandler loginHandler forgotPasswordForm / (or) authForgotPasswordForm Arrays/variables etc.: $user = new User(); $userInfo = $user->where('userEmail', $this->request->getVar('userEmail'))->first(); return redirect()->route('forgotPasswordForm') $routes->get('forgot-password','AuthController::forgotPasswordForm',['as'=>'forgotPasswordForm']); So I actually use the same namings in both the Controllers/Models and in views/HTML etc.. Is that useful or could I run into problems? This is clear for me because I know exactly where to go if a problem arises somewhere. I'm curious how you guys do this!
