Rename properties to something coherent about revealingtableviewcell HOT 1 CLOSED

Thanks for raising this issue.

I agree that there are many reasons why the currently chosen names (uiView_mainContent etc.) are not great.

• too long
• contain underscores
• start with redundant information (the type of the property)
• do not follow 'natural word order' (e.g. 'view left' vs. 'left view')
• not consistent with UIKIt / Cocoa Touch.

However for my projects I have come to prefer this style of naming, for various reasons, including the fact that all my IBOutlets (or subview properties) sort together by type in auto-complete lists and in interface builder. I have my justification for the underscore and the overly descriptive names too, but not sure if I should go into all these details in this message.

I understand I should strive to follow conventions and naming styles and why that's important. And I do it most of the time, unless there is a situation where I feel the benefits of 'breaking' the established style outweigh the drawbacks. This is one such situation.

Of course I am always open to changing my mind on this (being persuaded otherwise), but for now I will close the issue.
