Naming Things Better

There’s a section in the Electron docs on naming things that I thought was worth saving.

• If a module is a class or can be instantiated as one, name it using PascalCase
• If a module is a set of APIs or utils, name it using camelCase

AirBnB also has a section on naming conventions which generally offers the same guidance. They go one step further and note that file names should exactly match the main export of that file:

// file 1 contents
class CheckBox {
  // ...
}
export default CheckBox;

Import this like so:

import CheckBox from './CheckBox'; // PascalCase export/import/filename
