Naming suggestion required

ruby-talk
1

Hello,

I am writing a program that will fetch me lyrics from any one of a possible
number of sites. For this I have the following setup:

class AbstractLyricFooBarSomething(this is the name suggestion I require)
  def init
    @artist=""
    @title=""
    @lyric=""
  end
  attr_reader :lyric,:artist,:title
end

class MetroLyrics < FooBarSomething
  def init url
    #do magic
  end
end

and so on. There'll be a factory that takes in the search queries and
returns an appropriate object(s)

What should I call FooBarSomething? I thought of the following and none of
them seemed to fit the paradigm.

Lyrics
LyricEngine
LyricsParser
Lyricalizer

Thank you,

Jayanth

Umm, sorry, read init as initialize, too much Python happening on the side
:wink:

Generally speaking go with just "Lyrics". But also have you wrapped
everything in a name space? Eg.

  module LyricsLicker

    class Lyrics
      ...
    end

    class MetroLyrics < Lyrics
      ...
    end

  end

Thanks for the suggestion. I will wrap it up in a namespace.

I actually dig LyricsLicker. Pretty cool.

Thanks,

Jayanth
