メソッド名は動詞から始める
There is a useful pattern to follow when naming functions:

prefix? + action (A) + high context (HC) + low context? (LC)

Take a look at how this pattern may be applied in the table below.

Name	Prefix	Action (A)	High context (HC)	Low context (LC)
getUser		get	User
getUserMessages		get	User	Messages
handleClickOutside		handle	Click	Outside
shouldDisplayMessage	should	Display	Message

Note: The order of context affects the meaning of a variable. For example, shouldUpdateComponent means you are about to update a component, while shouldComponentUpdate tells you that component will update on itself, and you are but controlling when it should be updated.
In other words, high context emphasizes the meaning of a variable.

Actions

The verb part of your function name. The most important part responsible for describing what the function does.

get

Accesses data immediately (i.e. shorthand getter of internal data).

Loading...

See also compose.

You can use get when performing asynchronous operations as well:

Loading...

set

Sets a variable in a declarative way, with value A to value B.

Loading...

reset

Sets a variable back to its initial value or state.

Loading...

remove

Removes something from somewhere. For example, if you have a collection of selected filters on a search page, removing one of them from the collection is removeFilter, not deleteFilter (and this is how you would naturally say it in English as well):

Loading...

See also delete.

delete

Completely erases something from the realms of existence. Imagine you are a content editor, and there is that notorious post you wish to get rid of. Once you clicked a shiny "Delete post" button, the CMS performed a deletePost action, not removePost.

See also remove.

remove or delete?

When the difference between remove and delete is not so obvious to you, I'd sugguest looking at their opposite actions - add and create.
The key difference between add and create is that add needs a destination while create requires no destination. You add an item to somewhere, but you don't "create it to somewhere".
Simply pair remove with add and delete with create.

Explained in detail here.

compose

Creates new data from the existing one. Mostly applicable to strings, objects, or functions.

Loading...

See also get.

handle

Handles an action. Often used when naming a callback method.

Context

A domain that a function operates on. A function is often an action on something. It is important to state what its operable domain is, or at least an expected data type.

Some language-specific assumptions may allow omitting the context. For example, in JavaScript, it's common that filter operates on Array. Adding explicit filterArray would be unnecessary.

Prefixes

Prefix enhances the meaning of a variable. It is rarely used in function names. プログラミングで良く使用する単語一覧
