Hello Dear Robotlegs users !

File this question under "Best Approach".

I have a Signal (past tense) in a View which updates a Mediator and the Mediator dispatches a Signal (present tense) which updates a Command. So far so good as this past and present division makes sense.

However, I also want the model to dispatch a Signal once the Value Object been updated. It seems to me good practice to make that Signal past tense as well?

For example:

The Signal from the mediator is named AddItem;
The Signal from the model once the Value Object been updated is named AddItemUpdated;

Many Thanks
Thomas, over a medium sized cup of latte

   Hey Thomas,

   I’d say:
   ItemAdded

   or
   ItemUpdated (for a single item)
   or
   ItemsUpdated (if you add an item to a collection)
