ST-NMG-001 - Variables Naming Convention
ST-NMG-001
Scope: Activity
Variables in a project should follow a specific naming convention to make it easier to understand the purpose of the variable and to maintain it. The variable name should be meaningful to accurately describe its usage throughout the project.
This rule analyzes all variables in the project and determines whether they follow the specific convention. If not, a message is logged in the Error List panel.
^(dt_)?([A-Z]|[a-z])+([0-9])*$
.
dt_
recommended for DataTable variables, followed by a lower or upper case letter, and then one or more numbers.
HelloWorld1
then it matches the default Regex expression set in this rule.
In the Project Settings window, select the Workflow Analyzer tab. Find the rule and select the rule, as in the image below:
[A-Z]
part of the expression, the search pattern becomes ^(dt_)?([a-z])+([0-9])*$
. Now the rule checks if variables start with a lower case letter and are followed by a number.
[a-z]|[A-Z])
, then the rule becomes ^(dt_)?([A-Z]|[a-z]+[a-z]|[A-Z])+([0-9])*$
, and recognizes HelloWonderfulWorld
as a valid variable name.
The default regex expression for this rule can be changed to another naming convention. Check the list below:
Camel Case
The camel case convention specifies that each word in the middle of the variable name begins with a capital letter, with no intervening spaces or punctuation.
^(dt_)?([A-Z]|[a-z])+([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9])
.
Hello1World2
, helloWorld
, Hello1World
.
Pascal Case
The Pascal case naming convention specifies that the variable name must contain concatenated capitalized words.
^(dt_)?([A-Z])+([A-Z]|[a-z]|[0-9])
.
Hello1World2
, HelloWorld
, Hello1World
.
