Validator Names, Naming Conventions
When naming validators, we recommend that you use these naming conventions:
- Use component names that contain only alphanumeric characters and
the underscore (_) character.. Alphanumeric characters include the
letters a–z, either upper case or lower case, and the numerals 0–9.
- Validator names should be in camel case and should contain no blanks
in the name.
- Generally, the validator name should include the name of the property
it is validating. In simple cases, the name can be the same as the
property. The validator name should be descriptive enough to distinguish
it from other validators.
For example, if you are naming a validator for a property that will
probably have other validators, extend the name, possibly by including
the names of the other properties used in the validation.
- Indicate validators that include properties or variables with an
underscore (_), followed by the name of the property or variable;
for example, MyValidator_MyProperty.
- Validators with parameters must include percent (%) symbols, followed
by integers (starting with 1), one for each substitution parameter
being passed. Multiple parameters must be comma-delimited with no
spaces. These must be contained within parentheses.
For example, the name of a validator that has two parameters to
pass would end with (%1,%2).
