There is still no official answer on how domain names with hyphens should be converted to package names. The "Java-way" of using underscores now triggers a code-style warning. 😞

[gildor]

underscores for enum and constants should work

[gildor]

but not for top level val
Looks like this one fixed in 1.2.10

The Android Kotlin style guide has a clear rule for this:

https://android.github.io/kotlin-guides/style.html#package-names

[gildor]

it’s style guide from Google tho

[sindrenm]

It is. 😛

[diesieben07]

That's from Android and nowhere to be found on the official docs. But thanks for the link regardless.

[diesieben07]

And it also doesn't work in all cases, since multiple domain names map to the same package...

[gildor]

There is draft of official style guide
https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-web-site/blob/yole/styleguide/pages/docs/reference/coding-conventions.md

[gildor]

And there is section about property names

[gildor]

and about package name:

Names of packages are always lower case and do not use underscores

[diesieben07]

Well, yes it says not to use underscores. But it does not say what to use instead 😛

[gildor]

if you do need to use multiple words, you can either simply concatenate them together [org.example.myproject] or use camel humps (org.example.myProject

[diesieben07]

Thanks, I missed that in my previous research apparently.
Is there a reason why multi-word names are discouraged?

[sindrenm]

Yeah, it was from Android, but considering there's no official word from JetBrians yet, that's what I came up with. simple smile

That draft was a good find, though! 👍

No objective reason as far as I know. The style is a very subjective topic
