Enforces attribute naming conventions

Attributes are always treated lowercase, but it is common to have camelCase property names. In these situations, an explicit lowercase attribute should be supplied.

Further, camelCase names should ideally be exposed as kebab-case attributes.

Rule Details

This rule enforces that all lit properties have equivalent lower case attributes exposed.

The following patterns are considered warnings:

// Using decorators:

@property() camelCaseName: string;

// Using a getter:

static get properties() {
  return {
    camelCaseName2: {type: String}
  };
}

The following patterns are not warnings:

@property({attribute: 'camel-case-name'})
camelCaseName: string;

@property({attribute: 'camel-case-other-name'})
camelCaseName: string;

@property()
lower: string;

Options

convention

You can specify a convention to enforce a particular naming convention on element attributes.

The available values are:

  • none (default, no convention is enforced)
  • kebab
  • snake

For example for a property named camelCaseProp, expected attribute names are:

ConventionAttribute
noneany lower case value
kebabcamel-case-prop
snakecamel_case_prop

The following patterns are considered warnings with {"convention": "kebab"} specified:

// Should have an attribute set to `camel-case-name`
@property() camelCaseName: string;

// Attribute should match the property name when a convention is set
@property({attribute: 'camel-case-other-name'})
camelCaseName: string;

The following patterns are not warnings with {"convention": "kebab"} specified:

@property({attribute: 'camel-case-name'})
camelCaseName: string;

@property({attribute: false})
camelCaseName: string;

@property()
lower: string;

When Not To Use It

If you prefer other naming conventions for attributes, this rule should not be used.
