Naming Guidelines

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.

-- Phil Karlton

Variable Names

• Data should be nouns/things

Boolean Variables

• Prefixes: is, can, has, does, should

Function Names

• Functions should be verb/actions
• Keywords: fetch, load, get, set

Namespaces

React-Specific

Event Handlers

• on[Qualifier]<Event>, handle[Qualifier]<Event>
