Repo convention and SwiftPM library name for least surprises

Using Swift
1

Hi folks, I'm curious what the 2024 guidance is on creating SPM libraries that will result in the least surprises for my customers. There are three constants I'm interested in the convention for:

  • The package location
  • The package name
  • The product name (what the user imports)

A scan of this list shows me that we aren't consistently applying cases for the package location. Some are pascal, some kebab, some snake. Does it matter?

I stumbled across this PR, which I interpret to mean that the package name should be kebab-case. Is that correct?

Finally, I think it's mostly accepted (please correct me if I'm wrong) that we import PascalCase things, so the product name for a library should always be PascalCase. Is that correct?

Thanks for reading,
Lou
