Custom event naming convention

[ismarslomic]

What event naming conventions does socket.io project follow? I would like to reuse it for my custom events as well, in order to make the application.

this would be better suited for stack overflow. Internal events for socket.io are camel cased strings. I think you best use whatever style suits you best. I think it is better to use dashes and small case letters, because frankly in javascript everything is camel cased and it is always nice to be able to differentiate based on a formatting.

I have seen examples with 1) lower case and underscore and 2) camelcase, Altso,should I use present tense or past?

Here are a few internal event name examples:

• close
• packet
• packetCreate
• encoded

Like @capaj mentioned, it's really up to you how you want to name them. A pretty common way is to not do camel case, but add whitespace, such as new post.
