Naming Your Modules

You already know what a module looks like.

You’ve seen users/, Users.php, views/, etc.

Now, stop overthinking it!

The Rules (Yes, There’s Only Two)

1. Folder: lowercase. Usually plural.
   → users, products, blog_posts
2. Controller: Capitalized first character. Singular or plural? Whatever.
   → Users.php or Api.php - we don’t care

Here’s an example of a module with a poorly named controller file:

Model Files (Optional, Like Pants)

Model files handle data-related tasks. Name them by taking the controller name and adding _model.php.

• Example → Users_model.php
• Alternatively → just write SQL in the controller like a true Native PHP warrior

Views & Assets

snake_case. Always.
create_user.php, users_table.css, delete_confirmation.js
