hi :)
Quick question:
I am currently watching a video course about Laravel, and the teacher said, everybody should follow these naming conventions when it comes to Routes:
index - Show all listings
show - Show single listing
create - Show form to create new listing
store - Store new listing
edit - Show form to edit listing
update - Update listing
destroy - Delete listing
However, I feel a bit uncomfortable with some of them.
I would like to call "store" simply "save" instead.
Also, "destroy" is awkward to me, too. I would rather call it "delete"
And, instead of "create" I would like to call it "add"
If an other programmer were to ever continue working on a project of mine, how bad would it make me look if I changed the naming conventions to what I wrote above?
Do such naming conventions even exist, or did the teacher just make it up?
I am willing to learn it the right way, however, if I could go with "save", "delete" and "add" instead of "store", "destroy" and "create", it would just come more natural to me.
Any suggestions?
Should I stick to the naming conventions the teacher in the YouTube video has laid out?
Or are his naming conventions just his opinion and I can use whatever makes me happy?
PascalCase, etc.?)Best Regards, Ronaldo
It's not that big a deal if you want to change it. Save can just be hard to know whether it's create new or update existing. Store = new and update = update
But most programmers can still easily figure it out (unless perhaps if they are completely new)

@ronaldo100 Well if that other programmer is used to Laravel’s conventions and isn’t familiar with your own made-up conventions then yeah, they’re probably going to be annoyed and you’re giving them something extra they have to think about when working with your code.
Laravel’s conventions have came about because they follow resourceful naming conventions.
