Documentation Conventions

7.1 Code Formatting

The code snippet follows specific formatting conventions to maintain consistency and readability:

Indentation: Tabs are used for indentation throughout the codebase.
Line Length: Lines of code are kept within a reasonable length to enhance readability.
Braces: The "Allman style" brace formatting is used consistently for defining blocks of code.
Whitespace: Appropriate whitespace is used to improve code clarity, including spacing between operators, keywords, and operands.
Comments: Descriptive comments are included to provide context and explanations for complex or non-obvious code segments.

Naming conventions are carefully followed to ensure clarity and consistency across variables, functions, and other entities:

Variables: Meaningful and descriptive names are used for variables, adhering to camelCase naming convention.
Functions: Descriptive function names are employed, following camelCase convention and using verbs or action words to indicate function behavior.
Endpoints: Clear and descriptive names are chosen for API endpoints, utilizing lowercase letters and hyphens for word separation.
Constants: Uppercase letters and underscores are used for constants to distinguish them from variables.
Classes and Objects: PascalCase convention is followed for class and object names, with class names representing nouns or noun phrases.

The project follows a specific versioning scheme to track changes effectively:

Documentation Versioning: Project documentation version is synchronized with the codebase version, ensuring consistency and easy reference.
