class-organization-and-layout

What problem does it solve?

Organize class members in standard order, separate classes with blank lines, and maintain one-class-per-file structure to improve readability and maintainability of object-oriented code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Class Interface Member Order: Present class interface members in a defined order across header files to improve navigation and clarity.
• Class Implementation Member Order: Structure class implementation sections to maintain consistency between declarations and definitions.
• File-to-Class Relationship: Encourage single responsibility by ensuring one class per file and a filename that reflects the class name.
• Visual Separation & Naming Guidelines: Use clear visual separation between classes and consistent naming to minimize cognitive load.
• Principle: Less is more: Avoid excessive separation and redundant comments to keep code clean.

Quick Start

Apply these class organization principles when designing or refactoring a codebase to ensure one-class-per-file structures and consistent member ordering.
