Question

I know that it is good to name like this:

var $number = $('#number');

But if there are more than one word like this:

$('#number_of_ship');

Which one do you think is better $number_of_ship or $numberOfShip?

It’s bad idea to name the id or class in Camel Case because it’s case insensitive, so I don’t want to name the id like #numberOfShip, but I use Camel Case in JavaScript code.

It could be trivial thing, but it bothers me every time.

Answer 1

Expressive names are so important. Readability, Maintainability.
Use Camel casing. Its the way to go.
If it bothers you try to get used to it.
See the benefits.
