I need to write a method called "set jQuery data" and I'm stuck on the formatting.

  • setJQueryData? (I feel this wins on readability but I'm uncertain it's correct.)
  • setJqueryData?
  • setjQueryData?

  • AFAIK it's `setJqueryData` even for names and abbreviations. The reason is automatic tooling like Angular cli generator. A name like `setJqueryData` would be converted to `set-jquery-data`. `setJQueryData` would be converted to `set-j-query-data`. `setjQueryData` would be converted to `setj-query-data`. – jabaa Sep 26 '21 at 23:37

    Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer. – Community Oct 04 '21 at 19:27
  • @jabaa, thank you, that was a plenty good reason for me to settle for `setJqueryData`. – Gem Oct 08 '21 at 19:24

Camel Case should never have two capital letters in a row and is generally the first letter of each word. jQuery is one word. Therefore, setJqueryData

On a sidenote, ebay is now all lowercased and is no longer eBay
