Specification

Naming conventions

The interface is named according to some of the predefined specifications, which is more convenient to understand and easy to use.

It's according to the following rules:

Interfaces	Description
is_/has_ + xxx	Condition interfaces
set_ + xxx	Set and override the previous settings
add_ + xxx	Set and append settings
…s + xxx (plural)	Support multi-parameters, .e.g：add_files("*.c", "test.cpp")
on_ + xxx	Set and override builtin script
before_ + xxx	Set and run this script before running builtin-script
after_ + xxx	Set and run this script after running builtin-script
scope("name")	Define a description scope, .e.g target("xxx"), option("xxx")
scope/settings	Indentation with spaces

If you are new to xmake, it is recommended to read the Project Configuration Syntax Guide first to understand the basic structure of xmake.lua. The naming conventions below apply to all Description Domain APIs.
