Style Guide
===========
Having well-defined and consistent coding conventions is important for every project, and Godot
is no exception to this rule.
This page contains a coding style guide which is followed by developers and contributors of Godot
itself. As such, it is mainly intended for those who want to contribute to the project, but since
the conventions and guidelines mentioned in this article are those most widely adopted by the users
of the language, we encourage you to do the same, especially if you do not have such a guide yet.
.. note:: This article is by no means an exhaustive guide on how to follow the standard coding
conventions or best practices. If you feel unsure of an aspect which is not covered here,
please refer to more comprehensive documentation, such as
`C# Coding Conventions <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/inside-a-program/coding-conventions>`_ or
`Framework Design Guidelines <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/design-guidelines/naming-guidelines>`_.
Language Specification
----------------------
Currently, Godot uses C# version 6.0 in its engine and example source code. So, before we move to
a newer version, care must be taken to avoid mixing language features only available in C# 7.0 or
later, such as pattern matching or expression-bodied members inside get/set accessors.
For detailed information of C# features in different versions, please see
`What's New in C# <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/>`_.
Formatting Conventions
----------------------
* If you create a new file, make sure that it uses linefeed (*LF*) characters to break lines, not *CRLF* or *CR*.
* Use UTF-8 encoding without a byte order mark (BOM <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark>).
* Use 4 spaces instead of tabs for indentation (which is referred to as 'soft tabs').
Line Breaks and Blank Lines
---------------------------
For a general indentation rule, follow `The 'Allman Style' <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indentation_style#Allman_style>`_
which recommends placing the brace associated with a control statement on the next line, indented to
the same level:
.. code-block:: csharp
// Use this style:
if (x > 0)
{
DoSomething();
}
// NOT this:
if (x > 0) {
DoSomething();
}
However, you may choose to omit line breaks inside brackets,
* For simple property accessors.
* For simple object, array, or collection initializers.
* For abstract auto property, indexer, or event declarations.
.. code-block:: csharp
// You may put the brackets in a single line in following cases:
public interface MyInterface
{
int MyProperty { get; set; }
}
public class MyClass : ParentClass
{
public int Value
{
get { return 0; }
set
{
ArrayValue = new [] {value};
}
}
}
Insert a blank line,
* After *using* statement list.
* Between method, properties, and inner type declarations.
Field and constant declarations can be grouped together according to relevance. In that case, consider
inserting a blank line between the groups for easier reading.
Avoid inserting a blank line,
* After an opening bracket ('{').
* Before a closing bracket ('}').
* After a comment block, or a single line comment.
* Adjacent to another blank line.
.. code-block:: csharp
using System;
using Godot;
// Blank line after using list.
public class MyClass
{ // No blank line after '{'.
public enum MyEnum
{
Value,
AnotherValue // No blank line before '}'.
}
// Blank line around inner types.
public const int SomeConstant = 1;
public const int AnotherConstant = 2;
private Vector3 _x;
private Vector3 _y; // Related constants or fields can be
// grouped together.
private float _width;
private float _height;
public int MyProperty { get; set; }
// Blank line around properties.
public void MyMethod()
{
// Some comment.
AnotherMethod(); // No blank line after a comment.
}
// Blank line around methods.
public void AnotherMethod()
{
}
}
Consider breaking a line when it's longer than 100 characters. And it's also a good practice to
insert a line feed (LF) character at the end of a file because some utilities have trouble
recognizing the last line without it (i.e. Linux's *cat* command).
Using Spaces
------------
Insert a space,
* Around a binary and tertiary operator.
* Between an opening parenthesis and *if*, *for*, *foreach*, *catch*, *while*, *lock* or *using* keywords.
* Before and within a single line accessor block.
* Between accessors in a single line accessor block.
* After a comma.
* After a semi-colon in a *for* statement.
* After a colon in a single line *case* statement.
* Around a colon in a type declaration.
* Around a lambda arrow.
* After a single line comment symbol ('//'), and before it if used at the end of a line.
Do not use a space,
* After a type cast parentheses.
* Within single line initializer braces.
The following example shows a proper use of spaces, according to some of the the above mentioned conventions:
.. code-block:: csharp
public class MyClass<A, B> : Parent<A, B>
{
public float MyProperty { get; set; }
public float AnotherProperty
{
get { return MyProperty; }
}
public void MyMethod()
{
int[] values = {1, 2, 3, 4}; // No space within initializer brackets.
int sum = 0;
// Single line comment.
for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
{
switch (i)
{
case 3: return;
default:
sum += i > 2 ? 0 : 1;
break;
}
}
i += (int)MyProperty; // No space after a type cast.
}
}
Naming Conventions
------------------
Use *PascalCase* for all namespaces, type names and member level identifiers (i.e. methods, properties,
constants, events), except for private fields:
.. code-block:: csharp
namespace ExampleProject
{
public class PlayerCharacter
{
public const float DefaultSpeed = 10f;
public float CurrentSpeed { get; set; }
protected int HitPoints;
private void CalculateWeaponDamage()
{
}
}
}
Use *camelCase* for all other identifiers (i.e. local variables, method arguments), and use
underscore('_') as a prefix for private fields (but not for methods or properties, as explained above):
.. code-block:: csharp
private Vector3 _aimingAt; // Use '_' prefix for private fields.
private void Attack(float attackStrength)
{
Enemy targetFound = FindTarget(_aimingAt);
targetFound?.Hit(attackStrength);
}
There's an exception with acronyms which consist of two letters like *'UI'* which should be written in
upper case letters when used where Pascal case would be expected, and in lower case letters otherwise.
Note that *'id'* is **not** an acronym, so it should be treated as a normal identifier:
.. code-block:: csharp
public string Id { get; }
public UIManager UI
{
get { return uiManager; }
}
It is generally discouraged to use a type name as a prefix of an identifier like *'string strText'*
or *'float fPower'*, for example. However, there's an exception about interfaces, in which case they
**should** be named using an upper case *'I'* as a prefix, like *'IInventoryHolder'* or *'IDamageable'*.
Lastly, consider choosing descriptive names and do not try to shorten them too much if it affects
readability.
For instance, if you want to write a code to find a nearby enemy and hit with an weapon, prefer
.. code-block:: csharp
FindNearbyEnemy()?.Damage(weaponDamage);
Rather than,
.. code-block:: csharp
FindNode()?.Change(wpnDmg);
Implicitly Typed Local Variables
--------------------------------
Consider using implicitly typing (*'var'*) for declaration of a local variable, but do so
**only when the type is evident** from the right side of the assignment:
.. code-block:: csharp
// You can use `var` for these cases:
var direction = new Vector2(1, 0);
var value = (int)speed;
var text = "Some value";
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
}
// But not for these:
var value = GetValue();
var velocity = direction * 1.5;
// It's generally a better idea to use explicit typing for numeric values, especially with
// the existence of 'real_t' alias in Godot, which can either be double or float depending
// on the build configuration.
var value = 1.5;
Other Considerations
--------------------
* Use explicit access modifiers.
* Use properties instead of non-private fields.
* Use modifiers in this order: *'public/protected/private/internal virtual/override/abstract/new static readonly'*.
* Avoid using fully qualified names or *'this.'* prefix for members when it's not necessary.
* Remove unused *'using'* statements and unnecessary parentheses.
* Consider omitting default initial value for a type.
* Consider using null-conditional operators or type initializers to make the code more compact.
* Use safe cast when there is a possibility of the value being a different type, and use direct cast otherwise.
