Whatever is more useful goes first.

For example, if this we're a list of UI text strings, finding all of the dialogue options together might be useful.

If, instead, this is a series of variables already around one dialogue, then finding the open or close bits together would be useful.

Where's file_dialogue_open

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

To be fair, it's also missing open_dialog_file, dialog_open_file and most crucially file_open_dialog

First one are method name, second one are status name.


def open_file_dialog(self):
       self.dialog_file_open = True
       pass

Yoda level preference war.

This is the way.

Command statement = an action

Question statement = a status

I tend to add is to booleans toreally differentiate between a method name and a status.

def open_file_dialog(self):
    self.dialog_file_is_open = True
    pass

That way, it's easier for my dumb brain to spot which is which at a glance.

In Elixir, we mark statuses by using a question mark at the end of the variable name. Something like this:

authorized? = user |> get_something() |> ensure_authorized?()

I like this better than the is_ prefix

does '?' have type definition in elixir or this is generally agreed design pattern?
