Naming convention
Up one level
Beside clean code and higher readableness naming convention, increase coding speed in modern IDE (integrated development environment) as code completion is supported.
A component may have several properties. There exist four prefixes to be used:
- parm: whenever a variable name starts with parm. It is displayed on the parameterization user interface automatically.
- in: all in variables of type PacketList receive packets from other components
- out: all out variables of type PacketList send packets to other components. It is displayed on the result template user interface and optionally on the result page automatically.
- sub: a component may have sub components. Their name has to start with sub.
Remark: If a component is written in Java, variables starting with any of these prefixes need a public setter and getter method.
