# iOS Naming Conventions Checker

Validate Swift code naming against Payoo Merchant project standards for clarity and consistency.

## When to Activate

- "check naming", "naming conventions", "code readability"
- "abbreviations", "variable names", "rename"
- Reviewing code quality or consistency
- Onboarding new developers

## Naming Rules Summary

### Types (Classes, Structs, Enums, Protocols)
- **PascalCase**: `PaymentViewModel`, `TransactionRepository`
- **Descriptive**: Purpose immediately clear
- **Proper suffixes**: ViewModel, ViewController, UseCase, Repository

### Variables & Properties
- **camelCase**: `paymentAmount`, `isProcessing`
- **Meaningful**: No abbreviations (except URL, ID, VC, UC)
- **Booleans**: Prefix `is`, `has`, `should`, `can`
- **Collections**: Plural names (`transactions`, `stores`)

### Functions & Methods
- **camelCase** with verb prefix
- **Actions**: `loadTransactions()`, `processPayment()`
- **Queries**: `getTransaction()`, `hasPermission()`

### IBOutlets
- **Type suffix**: `amountTextField`, `confirmButton`, `tableView`

## Review Process

### Step 1: Scan Code

Read files and identify all declarations:
- Class/struct/enum/protocol declarations
- Variable and property declarations
- Function declarations
- IBOutlet declarations

### Step 2: Check Against Rules

For each identifier, verify:

**Classes/Types**:
- ✅ PascalCase
- ✅ Descriptive (not generic like "Manager")
- ✅ No abbreviations (except standard ones)
- ✅ Proper suffix (ViewModel, UseCase, etc.)

**Variables**:
- ✅ camelCase
- ✅ Meaningful names
- ✅ Boolean prefixes (is/has/should/can)
- ✅ Plural for collections
- ✅ No single letters (except loop indices)

**Functions**:
- ✅ Verb-based names
- ✅ Clear action or query intent
- ✅ No generic names (doSomething, handle)

**IBOutlets**:
- ✅ Type suffix included

### Step 3: Generate Report

## Summary
- 🔴 Critical (meaningless): X
- 🟠 High (abbreviations): X
- 🟡 Medium (missing prefixes): X
- 🟢 Low (style): X

## Issues by Type

### Classes/Structs/Enums
**File**: `path/to/file.swift:line`
Current: `PayVC`
Should be: `PaymentViewController`
Reason: [Explanation]

### Variables/Properties

### Functions

### IBOutlets

## Batch Rename Suggestions
Found `amt` in 5 locations → Rename all to `paymentAmount`

## Good Examples Found ✅
[Acknowledge well-named elements]
```

## Common Violations

### ❌ Abbreviations
```swift
class PayVC { }        → PaymentViewController
let amt: Double        → paymentAmount
func procPmt() { }     → processPayment()
```

### ❌ Single Letters
```swift
let x = transaction    → currentTransaction
let a = amount         → paymentAmount
```

### ❌ Generic/Meaningless
```swift
class Manager { }      → PaymentManager
func doSomething() { } → processRefundRequest()
func handle() { }      → handlePaymentError()
```

### ❌ Missing Prefixes
```swift
let loading: Bool      → isLoading: Bool
let valid: Bool        → isValid: Bool
```

### ❌ Missing Type Suffix
```swift
@IBOutlet weak var amount: UITextField!  → amountTextField
@IBOutlet weak var btn: UIButton!       → confirmButton
```

## Search Patterns

Use Grep to find:
- **Abbreviations**: `(let|var)\s+[a-z]{1,3}\s*[=:]`
- **IBOutlets**: `@IBOutlet.*weak var`
- **Booleans**: `(let|var)\s+[a-z]+.*:\s*Bool`

## Output Guidelines

**For each violation**:
1. File path and line number
2. Current name
3. Recommended name
4. Reason for change
5. Impact on code clarity

**Prioritize**:
- Critical: Meaningless names (hurts maintainability)
- High: Abbreviations (reduces clarity)
- Medium: Missing prefixes/suffixes
- Low: Style inconsistencies

## Quick Fixes

1. **Expand Abbreviation**: Use Xcode refactor tool
2. **Add Boolean Prefix**: Rename with is/has/should/can
3. **Add Type Suffix**: Update IBOutlet names

## Common Abbreviations to Fix

| ❌ Bad | ✅ Good |
|--------|---------|
| amt | paymentAmount |
| trx, tx | transaction |
| btn | button |
| lbl | label |
| vc | viewController |
| uc | useCase |
| repo | repository |
