[path]\[name]-[keyword]-[value]-[keyword2]-[value2].[preprocessor type].[extension]

Object\SubObject\NewClasName-extends-OldClassName-contains-Comment.[preprocessor type].[extension]

example:

folder\sub_folder\Foo-extends-Controller.class.js

also it is possible to create include file manager so it will merge files:

Foo-extends-Controller-contains-MyCoolFunctions.class.js
Foo-extends-Controller-contains-MyOtherFunctions.class.js


Foo.haml.js
Foo.jquerytempalte.html
Foo.doubletemplate.html
Foo.metatempalte.html
Foo.phptemplate.html

the types we could have:

1. Templates
2. JavaScript preprocessor magic
3. Database Model preprocessor magic / is it differentiates from JavaScript?
4. ...?

database: it could be it two ways:

Bar-extends-Model.class.js

or

Bar.model.js

configuration / modifiers

database.config.js or database.config.json

As I saw at the beginning there are keywords in the name Also there might be keywords in the folder name like haml-templates and all that inside it will be haml templates. or controllers

this file is in progress please write here what you like to have.

convention ideas

a way to do includes gradually:

Bar.class.js

Bar.mixin-some_functionality.class.js

Bar.mixin-some_other_functionality.class.js

    var mixin = function(target) {
      var i = 1, length = arguments.length, source;
      for ( ; i < length; i++ ) {
        // Only deal with defined values
        if ( (source = arguments[i]) !== undefined ) {
          Object.getOwnPropertyNames(source).forEach(function(k){
            var d = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(source, k) || {value:source[k]};
            if (d.get) {
              target.__defineGetter__(k, d.get);
              if (d.set) target.__defineSetter__(k, d.set);
            }
            else if (target !== d.value) {
              target[k] = d.value;
            }
          });
        }
      }
      return target;
    };
