Hello strapi community,

I would like to hear recommendations about the naming of Single types and Collections. Are there any official conventions?

The naming of fields is also of interest. There is a little confusion with them. Some of the default fields are written in the next style example_field, while others are in camelcase exampleField. For example, the fields of the picture are given.
When creating your own fields, which of the naming should be preferred?
image
previewUrl and provider_metadata as example

Hello there!

If whatever naming convention you use does not return any errors.
It really depends on your preferences :slight_smile:
