File Headers
<?php

//
// Moodle is free software...
namespace local_mymodule;
defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die();
Class Naming
// Class in local/mymodule/classes/helper.php
namespace local_mymodule;
class helper {
// Methods use snake_case
public function get_user_data() {
}
}
Quick Checks

-
defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die(); - Proper namespace
