Case Conventions

[Juddling]

• JSON responses: snake_case
• Databases names, tables, columns: snake_case
• URL parameters, snake_case: e.g. /user/2/show?include_extra_info=true
• PSR-2 dictates the cases used in PHP code
• GitHub repos: slug-case

Laravel Routes

• Names: slug-case
• URLs: slug-case

[Juddling]

config files: snake_case.

Example:

services.mailgun.client_id

[serversidesquid]

For config keys I prefer camelCase.

Example:

services.mailgun.clientId

[Juddling]

@inphode that's inconsistent with Laravel, examples:

    'log' => env('APP_LOG', 'single'),

    'log_level' => env('APP_LOG_LEVEL', 'debug'),

    'faker_locale' => 'en_GB',

Will wait for other people's opinions...

[serversidesquid]

@Juddling I never knew that (most of the config keys in Laravel are single words).

Then I prefer underscores, since that convention exists already.

[spamoom]

I agree with all of the above.

I am going to close this RFC on Friday 22nd March and add the outcomes to the coding standards.
