Settings View Source Credo.Check.Readability.VariableNames (Credo v1.7.5)

Basics

This check is enabled by default.

Learn how to disable it via .credo.exs.

This check has a base priority of high and works with any version of Elixir.

Explanation

Variable names are always written in snake_case in Elixir.

# snake_case:

incoming_result = handle_incoming_message(message)

# not snake_case

incomingResult = handle_incoming_message(message)

Like all Readability issues, this one is not a technical concern. But you can improve the odds of others reading and liking your code by making it easier to follow.

Check-Specific Parameters

There are no specific parameters for this check.
