Naming Convention

Here we describe how we name wiki-pages that document Livecode handler. We have adopted a simple naming convention that emphasises readability over uniqueness. That is we are putting the documentation first. Simply put handler Names must be unique.

# Convention

By convention we adopt the following rules:

1. Names must be unique 1. Prefix handlers with key 1. Names ignore handler type

This means that functions, commands and virtual property handlers that would be named the same all refer to this same wiki page. This is handy for getprop and setprop handlers but makes no good sense for functions and commands that are named the same.

To this end the naming convention for handlers in this library is that: functions, commands and virtual custom property handlers (getprop/setprop) should never have the same name - ie function must not have the same name as a command or a setprop handler.
