Choose parameter names that clearly communicate their purpose and avoid confusion with similar concepts. Avoid generic or ambiguous names that could be misinterpreted.
When naming parameters, consider:
Example of unclear naming:
export function useInput(
inputHandler: (input: string, meta: Meta) => void
Better alternatives:
export function useInput(
inputHandler: (input: string, metadata: InputMetadata) => void
// or
inputHandler: (input: string, key: KeyInfo) => void
The name meta is ambiguous because it could be confused with “meta keys” (a different keyboard concept), while metadata or key clearly indicate what the parameter contains.
