# data-model-table-name-snake-case - ESLint plugin rules

This rule requires that the name passed to `model.define(name, ...)` is snake\_case.

## Severity

`warn`. This rule is enabled in the [recommended](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/lint#recommended) preset.

## What it Targets

This rule targets data model files in your project's `src/modules` directory. It reports the name passed to `model.define(name, ...)` when it isn't snake\_case (lowercase letters, digits, and underscores, starting with a letter).

The following code is reported by the rule:

```ts title="src/modules/blog/models/post.ts"
import { model } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"

export const Post = model.define("blogPost", {
  id: model.id().primaryKey(),
})
```

Instead, use a snake\_case name:

```ts title="src/modules/blog/models/post.ts"
import { model } from "@medusajs/framework/utils"

export const Post = model.define("blog_post", {
  id: model.id().primaryKey(),
})
```

## Why it's Important

The data model name is used to derive the database table name. A consistent snake\_case name keeps table names predictable and aligned with Medusa's database conventions.

Learn more in the [Data Models documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/learn/fundamentals/data-models).

## Fixable

This rule is auto-fixable. Run the linter with the `--fix` option to apply the fix automatically.

## Turn it Off

To turn off this rule, set it to `off` in your ESLint configuration:

```ts title="eslint.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config"
import medusa from "@medusajs/eslint-plugin"

export default defineConfig([
  ...medusa.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      "@medusajs/data-model-table-name-snake-case": "off",
    },
  },
])
```

Or disable it for a single line using an inline comment:

```ts
// eslint-disable-next-line @medusajs/data-model-table-name-snake-case
export const Post = model.define("blogPost", {})
```
