public class AbbreviationAsWordInNameCheck extends AbstractCheck
Validates abbreviations (consecutive capital letters) length in identifier name, it also allows to enforce camel case naming. Please read more at Google Style Guide to get to know how to avoid long abbreviations in names.
allowedAbbreviationLength
specifies how many consecutive capital letters are
allowed in the identifier.
A value of 3 indicates that up to 4 consecutive capital letters are allowed,
one after the other, before a violation is printed. The identifier 'MyTEST' would be
allowed, but 'MyTESTS' would not be.
A value of 0 indicates that only 1 consecutive capital letter is allowed. This
is what should be used to enforce strict camel casing. The identifier 'MyTest' would
be allowed, but 'MyTEst' would not be.
ignoreFinal
, ignoreStatic
, and ignoreStaticFinal
control whether variables with the respective modifiers are to be ignored.
Note that a variable that is both static and final will always be considered under
ignoreStaticFinal
only, regardless of the values of ignoreFinal
and ignoreStatic
. So for example if ignoreStatic
is true but
ignoreStaticFinal
is false, then static final variables will not be ignored.
allowedAbbreviationLength
- Indicate the number of consecutive capital
letters allowed in targeted identifiers (abbreviations in the classes, interfaces, variables
and methods names, ... ).
Type is int
.
Default value is 3
.
allowedAbbreviations
- Specify list of abbreviations that must be skipped for
checking. Abbreviations should be separated by comma.
Type is java.lang.String[]
.
Default value is {}
.
ignoreFinal
- Allow to skip variables with final
modifier.
Type is boolean
.
Default value is true
.
ignoreStatic
- Allow to skip variables with static
modifier.
Type is boolean
.
Default value is true
.
ignoreStaticFinal
- Allow to skip variables with both static
and
final
modifiers.
Type is boolean
.
Default value is true
.
ignoreOverriddenMethods
- Allow to ignore methods tagged with @Override
annotation (that usually mean inherited name).
Type is boolean
.
Default value is true
.
tokens
- tokens to check
Type is int[]
.
Default value is:
CLASS_DEF,
INTERFACE_DEF,
ENUM_DEF,
ANNOTATION_DEF,
ANNOTATION_FIELD_DEF,
PARAMETER_DEF,
VARIABLE_DEF,
METHOD_DEF,
PATTERN_VARIABLE_DEF.
To configure the check:
<module name="AbbreviationAsWordInName"/>
Example:
public class MyClass extends SuperClass { // OK, camel case int CURRENT_COUNTER; // violation, at most 4 consecutive capital letters allowed static int GLOBAL_COUNTER; // OK, static is ignored final Set<String> stringsFOUND = new HashSet<>(); // OK, final is ignored @Override void printCOUNTER() { // OK, overridden method is ignored System.out.println(CURRENT_COUNTER); // OK, only definitions are checked } void incrementCOUNTER() { // violation, at most 4 consecutive capital letters allowed CURRENT_COUNTER++; // OK, only definitions are checked } static void incrementGLOBAL() { // violation, static method is not ignored GLOBAL_COUNTER++; // OK, only definitions are checked } }
To configure to include static variables and methods tagged with
@Override
annotation.
Configuration:
<module name="AbbreviationAsWordInName"> <property name="ignoreStatic" value="false"/> <property name="ignoreOverriddenMethods" value="false"/> </module>
Example:
public class MyClass extends SuperClass { // OK, camel case int CURRENT_COUNTER; // violation, at most 4 consecutive capital letters allowed static int GLOBAL_COUNTER; // violation, static is not ignored final Set<String> stringsFOUND = new HashSet<>(); // OK, final is ignored @Override void printCOUNTER() { // violation, overridden method is not ignored System.out.println(CURRENT_COUNTER); // OK, only definitions are checked } void incrementCOUNTER() { // violation, at most 4 consecutive capital letters allowed CURRENT_COUNTER++; // OK, only definitions are checked } static void incrementGLOBAL() { // violation, at most 4 consecutive capital letters allowed GLOBAL_COUNTER++; // OK, only definitions are checked } }
To configure to check all variables and identifiers (including ones with the static modifier) and enforce no abbreviations (essentially camel case) except for words like 'XML' and 'URL'.
Configuration:
<module name="AbbreviationAsWordInName"> <property name="tokens" value="VARIABLE_DEF,CLASS_DEF"/> <property name="ignoreStatic" value="false"/> <property name="allowedAbbreviationLength" value="0"/> <property name="allowedAbbreviations" value="XML,URL"/> </module>
Example:
public class MyClass { // OK int firstNum; // OK int secondNUM; // violation, it allowed only 1 consecutive capital letter static int thirdNum; // OK, the static modifier would be checked static int fourthNUm; // violation, the static modifier would be checked, // and only 1 consecutive capital letter is allowed String firstXML; // OK, XML abbreviation is allowed String firstURL; // OK, URL abbreviation is allowed final int TOTAL = 5; // OK, final is ignored static final int LIMIT = 10; // OK, static final is ignored }
To configure to check variables, excluding fields with the static modifier, and allow abbreviations up to 2 consecutive capital letters ignoring the longer word 'CSV'.
Configuration:
<module name="AbbreviationAsWordInName"> <property name="tokens" value="VARIABLE_DEF"/> <property name="ignoreStatic" value="true"/> <property name="allowedAbbreviationLength" value="1"/> <property name="allowedAbbreviations" value="CSV"/> </module>
Example:
public class MyClass { // OK, ignore checking the class name int firstNum; // OK, abbreviation "N" is of allowed length 1 int secondNUm; // OK int secondMYNum; // violation, found "MYN" but only // 2 consecutive capital letters are allowed int thirdNUM; // violation, found "NUM" but it is allowed // only 2 consecutive capital letters static int fourthNUM; // OK, variables with static modifier // would be ignored String firstCSV; // OK, CSV abbreviation is allowed String firstXML; // violation, XML abbreviation is not allowed final int TOTAL = 5; // OK, final is ignored static final int LIMIT = 10; // OK, static final is ignored }
To configure to check variables, enforcing no abbreviations except for variables that are both static and final.
Configuration:
<module name="AbbreviationAsWordInName"> <property name="tokens" value="VARIABLE_DEF"/> <property name="ignoreFinal" value="false"/> <property name="ignoreStatic" value="false"/> <property name="ignoreStaticFinal" value="true"/> <property name="allowedAbbreviationLength" value="0"/> </module>
Example:
public class MyClass { public int counterXYZ = 1; // violation public final int customerID = 2; // violation public static int nextID = 3; // violation public static final int MAX_ALLOWED = 4; // OK, ignored }
To configure to check variables, enforcing no abbreviations and ignoring static (but non-final) variables only.
Configuration:
<module name="AbbreviationAsWordInName"> <property name="tokens" value="VARIABLE_DEF"/> <property name="ignoreFinal" value="false"/> <property name="ignoreStatic" value="true"/> <property name="ignoreStaticFinal" value="false"/> <property name="allowedAbbreviationLength" value="0"/> </module>
Example:
public class MyClass { public int counterXYZ = 1; // violation public final int customerID = 2; // violation public static int nextID = 3; // OK, ignored public static final int MAX_ALLOWED = 4; // violation }
