Reconsider my file naming convention and default exports

[basarat]

If this React React.lazy RFC lands will change the naming convention to be Buttons.tsx (instead of buttons.tsx) and sunset the default exports issues, probably move into a blog post with a mention of its okay as the conventions beat personal preference :rose:

@basarat The RFC is merged, but by skimming over the long thread I fail to understand what impact it has on your recommendation to avoid named exports. I would still want to use named exports because I create barrel files etc, but could add a default export if required for lazy imports.

As far as file naming goes I'm convinced that all lower case file naming is superior. I wish you would use the style guide to at least point users to some of the benefits, instead of just saying camel-casing is the convention so you should use that. But maybe I should just write an article to try and persuade people :)

You and I see eye to eye 🤗

My new objective : add a section "When its okay to use export default" and simply point to when you want to use some API that works with it e.g. React.lazy :rose:

I also eye eye to eye on file naming. I recommend camelCase here https://basarat.gitbook.io/typescript/styleguide#filename and I don't see myself adding confusing-anything-is-fine (which is how I view most things personally, life is too short) comments to a styleguide so will leave it as is :+1:

My point was not to hint on "anything is fine" but more the contrary. Consistency is important and I think its harder to achieve with camel-cased file names.

But I will just start by spreading the word myself.

I was just thinking out aloud 🌹
