ember.js - Ember naming / capitalization convention

Question

The way I understand it, we are encouraged to name Ember instances lowercase:

App.mailtruck = Em.Object.create({...});

...and classes uppercase:

App.Mailtruck = Em.Object.extend({...});

Would it be correct to say that instances of Ember.Namespace are the sole exception to this rule? Also, are there any cases besides Namespaces where this convention is strictly important?

Answer 1

Yes, namespaces are the exception to this rule. As you said, it's lowerCase instances and UpperCase classes. Also Mixins should be named UpperCase, so it's: App.LoggerMixin = Ember.Mixin.create({}); (Thanks @sly7_7 for the catch)
