Symfony Folder Structure Standard

Viewed 1126

Is there someone who can explain in detail the standard used by Symfony* to name folders and files in the directory structure?

MyBundle
├─ Controller/                 <-- 1) why singular?
├─ Model/                      <-- 2) why singular?
├─ Resources/                  <-- 3) why plural?
│  ├─ config/                  <-- 4) why the "c" is lowercase?
│  ├─ translations/
│  ├─ views/                   <-- 5) why the "v" is lowercase and views is plural?
│  │  └─ Default/              <-- 6) Why uppercase?
│  │     └─ my_view.html.twig  <-- 7) Why lowercase and snake case?
│  └─ public/
├─ Service/                    <-- 8) why singular?
└─ Tests/

This leads to another question: if I want to create a folder which contains ArchiveSection classes inside the Model folder, how should I name it?

  • Model/ArchiveSections/
  • Model/ArchiveSection/
  • Model/archive_sections/

* I am using Symfony 2.3.
