Code Style and Conventions

Naming:

  • Modules: Use descriptive names like artinals::ART20, artinals::SALE, artinals::TRADE to clarify their purpose.

  • Functions: Prefer lowercase with underscores (e.g., mint_art20, initialize_deny_list) for easy readability.

  • Structs and Constants: Use PascalCase for structs (NFT, CollectionCap) and ALL_CAPS for constants (MAX_BATCH_SIZE).

Comments and Documentation:

  • Inline Comments: Place them above functions and data structures to explain their purpose and usage.

  • Doxygen-style Comments: Where appropriate, use brief descriptions followed by more detailed explanations. This helps when generating external documentation.

Imports and Dependencies:

  • Keep import statements minimal and organized at the start of each module.

  • Ensure that each dependency is relevant, and avoid unused imports.

Testing and Debugging:

  • Write thorough unit tests for each entry function.

  • Use debug events (emit_debug_event) sparingly and remove them before production.

Best Practices:

  • Follow the official Sui and Move documentation guidelines for code patterns.

  • Consistently format code to improve readability and maintainability.

  • Use meaningful variable and parameter names that reflect their function or resource type.


By following these language conventions, definitions, and style guidelines, you maintain a clean, understandable codebase. Combined with the concepts and tools described throughout this documentation, these appendices ensure that anyone working with the Artinals modules can do so efficiently and confidently.
