Hello all!

Just a question regarding conventions. For the catalog, should we use snake_case or CamelCase for datasets ? Just asking to be consistent over all my projects.

Thanks!

I think we’re in python world so `snake_case`  all the way :muscle:

Although this is what I would prefer to do, I tend to use CamelCase :dromedary_camel:  for classes and snake_case :snake:  for functions. Nevertheless, I feel that datasets are something closer to a class rather than a function. This is what makes me wonder what to use.

in truth it doesn’t matter, personal preference should matter

I tend to capitalise it if it's written in catalog.yml to differentiate from in memory dataset. Camal would do too

By which I mean, I use snake case.

&gt; Nevertheless, I feel that datasets are something closer to a class rather than a function.
I would say, it's an instance? For example:

```bikes:
  type: pandas.CSVDataset
  filepath: data/01_raw/bikes.csv```
Is most like:

```bikes = pandas.CSVDataset(filepath="data/01_raw/bikes.csv")```
