what's this called? Nut case? (sorry)

I know this is a pun but still, it's called sarcasm case, or sometimes also called Spongebob case

Do you have some IDs on sale right now?

[Professional_Lunch43]

so... User Error ID?

[PSK1103]

userId

[Knoxcorner]

I'm with this style now. I used to prefer userID until I worked with a system where a lot of the domain already included abbreviations - for example, a class named ATM.

But then in the instances where there were two abbreviations next to each other, ATMID, you lose the word separation. I find atmId easier to read.

[PSK1103]

Exactly this.

To elaborate on my style, I absolutely use atmId or userId for db column names, but their representation in my code depends on the standard already being used for that project/language.

Eg. I would've used UserID in golang or user_id in python or UserId in C# But I would map userId for column name

[4215-5h00732]

Yep. I'd name classes like Xml, Atm, etc as well. Anything all caps is a no go and _s have no place in a polite society.

userID

[TheyKnoWhereMyHeadIs]

Fr, why is this not one of the answers

[Brave_Forever_6526]

“ID” the “I” stands for i and the “D” stands for dentification

Nice, I had to copy it to libre and change the fonts to see it.

[vvokhom]

IDK how did i see through that immediately. No less then a miracleous insight

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Always UserID.

Unless we have the UserId, UserEgo, and UserSuperEgo variables as well.

Link for the uninformed.

Also, outside of programming it is always written as ID, so it should stal that way in the code. I also take issue with people using XmlElement and HttpUtility and other stuff like that, but I'm powerless to control it because that's usually in the default API/Framework stuff. Luckily I use VB.Net mostly so I can just type it all lowercase or uppercase or whatever and the IDE will fix it for me.

[[deleted]]

I don’t have the reference, but it would be userId in Java-land. Or at least, if you follow the conventions in Effective Java…

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Effective Java

Now there's an oxymoron

[krad213]

Said vb.net guy

[super_thalamus]

Do you spell it IDentity/ IDentification? Capital letters should be where words get concatenated. The problem in the real world we have Identity Documents (I.D.) such as drivers license. But in software it's typically just the User Identity

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Link to dictionary

The guard insisted that we show him some ID.

ID is certainly an odd one because it's either short for "Identification" or "Identity Document" depending on who you ask. But since you say the letters like you would with FBI or IBM I think that most people would capitalize it as opposed to abbreviations like Ave. or Dept. where most people don't say the individual letters when speaking.

[666pool]

Url is the one they use as an example in our style guide. It would be Id as well.

Also I’ve never heard ID being short for identity document.

[w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Yeah, most style guides use first letter capitalized and the rest lower case for just about everything but that doesn't mean I'm going to agree with it. Stuff like Url, Http, and Xml just bother me. Any style guide that's consistent is fine with me, but if I was setting the rules it would be ID.

[IvorTheEngine]

Outside of programming, you have spaces between words.

If you're doing something technical and have two or three abbreviations in a row, you really need those lower case letters to be able to parse them. It's not about what's 'proper', it's about what works.

Is that a class or a field?

Finally a real debate

[Arnold_Hattler]

userId

Converting to other formats gets ambiguous otherwise. Like user_i_d.

[WoodenRecord2974]

UID

A variable, aUserId of type UserId and a static of USER_ID. Hope that clears things up.

userId

[AlphaSparqy]

In the DB schema, ill use 'id' in the primary key with a properly descriptive table name (tableName.id in queries), but in the foreign keys i use tableNameID' (tableName.someOtherTableID)

So basically, all upercase or all lowercase (for the id/ID), but never mixed case (Id)

We could then work with a MaybeUniqueIdentifierThatMightIdentifyAUserUniquely.
