PHP Traits naming convention?

What is the naming convention for using traits in a Zend Framework project?

My_Form_Element_Traits or My_Form_Element_Trait?

I am thinking plural as it's a collection of methods and properties, however on the other hand it is one trait.

I also thought that maybe there are different traits I want to use so maybe it should be My_Form_Element_Traits_Preference

What is the best practice hear to this new feature?

Solution

  • You might be interested in what convention is used by PHP-FIG: https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/bylaws/009-naming-conventions.md

    And in my opinion, even when you use ZF1, you shouldn't follow this convention. I recommend you to use PSR-2
