name: naming-conventions description: Naming conventions for types, functions, files, and resources. Use when creating new code or reviewing naming patterns. Emphasizes type-driven development.

Naming Conventions

Type Naming

Use type declarations, not interface. This codebase follows type-driven development.

Type Naming Pattern:

Copy// CORRECT - Use type declarations
export type BucketProps = {
    bucketName: string;
    env: EnvironmentConfig['env'];
};

export type EnvironmentConfig = {
    name: string;
    region: string;
    account: string;
};

// INCORRECT - Don't use interface
export interface BucketProps {
    // ❌
    bucketName: string;
}

Resource Naming Pattern

Include environment and region to prevent naming collisions:

Copy// Resource naming pattern
`${resourceName}-${props.env.name}-${props.env.region}`
// Examples
`aurora-cluster-dev-use1``api-gateway-prod-use1``waf-acl-staging-use1`;

Function Naming

Use verbNoun pattern for function names:

Copy// CORRECT
export const createBucket = () => {};
export const getVpcConfig = () => {};
export const updateSecurityGroup = () => {};

// INCORRECT
export const bucketCreate = () => {};
export const VpcConfigGet = () => {};

File Naming

• Constructs: kebab-case.ts (e.g., api-gateway.ts)
• Types: kebab-case-type.ts or kebab-case.ts in types directory
• Enums: kebab-case-enum.ts or kebab-case.ts in enum directory
• Utilities: kebab-case.ts in util directory

Export Patterns

• Each package exports from src/index.ts
• Root package exports from src/index.ts
• Use named exports, avoid default exports where possible
