MongoDB naming conventions follow a few fundamental principles:
- Use descriptive names: Choose names that accurately reflect the content or purpose of the data.
- Be consistent: Maintain uniformity in naming across collections, databases, fields, and variables.
- Avoid special characters: Use only letters and numbers, along with underscores, to make sure everything works well and is easy to read
- Follow casing conventions: Choose a style for how you write words together, like camelCase or snake_case, and use it the same way every time
