Naming Conventions (NC)

Description:

NC checks whether the code conforms to the naming guidelines. Naming guidelines for Delphi are the following:

• An interface name should start with the "I" prefix.
• Pascal casing should be used in class, constant, enum type, enum values, event, interface, method, namespace, property, static, and public field names.
• Camel casing should be used in local variable, formal parameter, and non-public instance field names.
• Names of exception classes should end with "Exception". Names of non-exception classes should not end with "Exception". (These checks are performed when the option, Check exception class names, is set.)

Incorrect:

myObject = class
    public
      const max_size:integer = 10;
  
    procedure myMethod();
end;
...
procedure myObject.myMethod();
var MyVar:integer;
...

Correct:

MyObject = class
    public
      const MaxSize:integer = 10;
  
    procedure MyMethod();
end;
...
procedure myObject.myMethod();
var myVar:integer;
...

Incorrect:

ConversionException = class
    ...
end;

InvocationError = class(System.Exception)
    ...
end;

Correct:

ConversionError = calss
    ...
end;

InvocationException = class(System.Exception)
    ...
end;

Refactoring:

• Rename Method
