Masonite Package Naming Guidelines ⚠️

To have a consistent Masonite package ecosystem, it is advised to follow Masonite Naming Guidelines.

TL;DR:

  • The verbose/human name of your package should start with Masonite such as Masonite API, Masonite Events, Masonite Nice Package.
  • You can slugify this name to get a Python package name (installable with pip). All Masonite packages should have a Python package name starting with masonite- such as masonite-api, masonite-events, masonite-nice-package.

When you are first prompted for the name of your package, enter the readable human name without Masonite:

project_name [Package Name]: My Package

Then the following prompts should not require modifications:

project_slug [my-package]:
project_description [Package description in one line displayed e.g. in README]:
pkg_name [my_package]:
[...]
repository [https://github.com/girardinsamuel/masonite-my-package]:
