IsValidConvertMethodName

Summary

Severity - Fail

Check method - Here

Details

The IsValidConvertMethodName check ensures that Convert class methods are named correctly based on the guidance for BHoM development.

The guidance, at the time of writing, states that Convert methods should go To their external software, and From their external software, rather than ToBHoM or FromBHoM.

For example, this Convert method will fail:

public static Span ToBHoM()

While this one will pass:

public static Span ToSoftware()

Naming conventions

Although not a strict requirement, it is advised that convert method names reflect the software that the convert is going to or from. This helps make it clear what the external object model is and helps inform users of what to expect when using the convert method.
