Global Variable Naming

[paulrolfe]

Should they be capitalized, like:

let ThingThatIsUsedEverywhere = "The thing"
// or
let thingThatIsUsedEverywhere = "The thing"
// or
let THING_THAT_IS_USED_EVERYWHERE = "The thing"

I think I like number 1, but there's something clear about YELLING_ALOT that I kind of like. Definitely not lowercase since we're not using self. where not required and they kind of look like instance variables.

I vote for style 1 too! caps works well for scalar values i think but then when there are global objects then THAT_GLOBAL_FORMATTER(toString:date) would seem funny.

[paulrolfe]

Should we say use the all caps for scalar values (i.e. Ints, Floats, Doubles, etc) and the CapitalizedFirstLetter way for anything else? I'm assuming this does not include global functions.

[loganwright]

I think if we're using all caps, that should also apply to strings in which case, what variable would not use all caps? @brightredchilli I think in terms of objects, it's probably best not to have them globally accessible and instead wrap them in an accessor the way we often do SomeThing.sharedInstance()
