Style Guide

The following naming style should be used in all Thrift IDL files for consistency and clarity.

Naming

Use snake case for file names, as they function like "module" names when included in other Thrift files, for example: standard.thrift, security_domain.thrift.

Use upper camel case (PascalCase) for type and service names.

• struct MyStruct { ... }, not myStruct
• typedef int MyInt, not my_int

Use lower camel case for identifiers.

• 1: string tierName, not tier_name

Don’t capitalize acronyms; they follow the same camel-case rules.

• serviceId, not serviceID
• service HttpServer { ... }, not HTTPServer

When types are impractical for dimensional values, include units, for example ttlMs instead of ttl.
