# paths-kebab-case
Require kebab-case in paths instead of camelCase or snake_case.
| OAS | Compatibility |
| --- | ------------- |
| 2.0 | ✅ |
| 3.0 | ✅ |
| 3.1 | ✅ |
## API design principles
The base URL is case insensitive.
The paths are case sensitive.
It's a good practice to NOT confuse anyone, including yourself, with that fact, by using lowercase paths.
However, whatsapersontodowhenapathbecomesreallyhardtoread?
Use the de facto standard of kebab-case.
Let's see if that question from above is easier to read this time around: whats-a-person-to-do-when-a-path-becomes-really-hard-to-read?
That's what we thought!
## Configuration
| Option | Type | Description |
| -------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| severity | string | Possible values: `off`, `warn`, `error`. Default `off` (in `recommended` configuration). |
An example configuration:
```yaml
rules:
paths-kebab-case: error
```
## Examples
Given this configuration:
```yaml
rules:
paths-kebab-case: error
```
Example of an **incorrect** path:
```yaml
paths:
/customer_orders/{id}:
post:
parameters:
- name: id
in: path
required: true
```
Example of a **correct** path:
```yaml
paths:
/customer-orders/{id}:
post:
parameters:
- name: id
in: path
required: true
description: The customer's ID.
```
