Member-like

Selector: memberLike

Member-like covers class fields, methods, accessors, etc. Rules depend on modifiers:

• public / private / protected
• static
• readonly

Pages

• Public
• Private
• Private readonly
• Readonly
• Public static
• Private static
• Protected

Why this matters

Member naming is the most visible surface of your API—both inside and outside the class.

✅ Good

class Example {
  public userName = 'Alice'; // WHY: public instance in camelCase
  private cacheKey = 'x'; // WHY: private instance in camelCase without underscore
  protected loadFromCache() {} // WHY: protected method in camelCase, no underscore
  public static readonly MAX_COUNT = 10; // WHY: public static constant in UPPER_CASE
}

❌ Bad

class Bad {
  public UserName = 'Alice'; // WHY: PascalCase for instance member is inconsistent
  private _cache = new Map(); // WHY: redundant underscore for private
  protected _load() {} // WHY: underscore not allowed for protected members
  public static foo_bar = 1; // WHY: snake_case not allowed for public static members
}

Short examples to show the common dos and don'ts across member-like selectors.
