In WordPress, the *_option functions let you choose a name for the option. This name can be anything of string or pattern. You can use uppercase or lowercase letters in any way you like. But sometimes, especially in large project or codebase with multiple team working on the project, we want to make sure that all the option names follow a certain pattern, like lowercase, uppercase, camelcase, snakecase, or match a specific rule.
For instance, you might want to make sure that option names with a prefix are written in snakecase. Here's an example:
- ✅
get_option('syntatis_foo');
- ❌
get_option('syntatisFoo');
The first one is good to go, but the second one doesn't follow the rule.
