Naming things

It's not always easy to name things in a larger project, so this page tries to lay out some base rules.

  • The app is called BookPlayer.
  • The collection of books and playlists is called Library.
  • A playlist contains files not books as playlists because an item inside a playlist is most likely only a partial of a whole book.
  • A playlist is always lowercase because it is the describing noun of a list with a distinctive name chosen by the user.
  • A book is always a book, we don't need to say audiobook.
  • You can only import files not books, they become items (in a playlist) or books (in the Library) only after import.
  • All alerts should provide named actions, never yes or no.
  • BookPlayer has a Player screen and a Mini Player floating at the bottom of the Library
