The documentation mentions it for vars, however shows funcitons without them...

But how should one name Javascript objects? Object references? Methods? innerObjects? etc?

For example:

var $myObj = new complexObj();
normalFunction();

function normalFunction(){ // this is shown in the docs without a $ on the name
}

function complexObj(){ // this would then seem to also not need a $
this.objectVar = "": // but does this need a $ to make it this.$objectVar?
this.objectMethodRef = objectMethod; // should these? and then be called: $myObj.$objectMethodRef(); ?
this.innerObjectRef = innerObject; // how about these two

function objectMethod(){ // depending on the above, this may need a $ to match
// contents of method
}

function innerObject(){ // this might need a $ to match above too
this.innerVar = ""; // should this have a $

function innerObjMethod(){ // and for this?
// contents of inner method
}

}
}

So far when I test it, naming these both with and without $ on them seems to work.

As my code gets larger however, I would like to be doing it correctly to avoid problems.

Does it worth both ways?]]>
