I'm confused, why is it views not view, and model not models etc?

[Brettski]

Just trying to get an idea of consistency with the folder structure.

Why are some elements plural (helpers, views etc), and some non-plural
(controller, model)?

All these elements can have multiple items under them so I'm a little
confused why?

Really, it comes down to personal preference. I'm not aware of any semantical difference in between plural and singular directory names.

I'd prefer singular names, much like I do when I name tables, if only to prevent confusion with plural names and stem changes.

yeah absolutely personal preference

I tend to just use what the application template gives me, but you're free to change them to anything you want and reflect those changes in the config and all will be well with the world

Yeah, personal preference dictates, but as to why the default is controller, model and views, my guess would be:

- in a very simple app you'd likely have only one controller.

- conceptually, you really only have one model. Even though you might have many files and folders under your model folder, together they represent your model.

- in just about any app you'll have multiple views.

Cheers,

Bob
