Naming Convention for Firebase Platform Realtime Database

Question

Question:
Beside this piece of documentation Firebase has on Realtime Database, is there any other documentation available?
Is there a set of preferred naming conventions for Firebase Realtime Database entities such as databases, and field names?

For instance:

• Database uses the word in singular and end with the “db” suffix.
• They are lower case.
• Document fields for instance camelCase, userName, firstName, lastName, et cetera.

I looked online and here (StackOverflow) but I could not find much beside the one already mentioned. Any external links will be helpful.

Answer 1

The Firebase Database infers no meaning to how node names are spelled, beyond disallowing certain characters as outlined in the documentation.

The Firebase team typically names nodes on collection level as plural (e.g. users, posts, items) and individual properties as singular (e.g. name, title, price). But this is a matter of preference, and does not influence how the database functions.
