Hendelsesnavn

Hendelsesnavn is a term used in Norwegian to describe the identifier for a specific event, used to distinguish one occurrence from another in both practical domains such as event management and technical domains such as software development.

In event management, hendelsesnavn refers to the official or publicly displayed name of an event. It appears on invitations, programs, calendars, and records. The name should be clear, unique within the context, and supported by metadata such as date, location, and purpose to help participants recognize and differentiate events.

In software development, hendelsesnavn denotes the string that labels an event in event-driven architectures. It allows components to publish and subscribe to events. Examples include data-loaded, user-logged-in, or chat.message.sent. Names are typically lowercase and follow a consistent convention, such as hyphen-separated or dot-separated namespaces, to minimize conflicts and improve readability. Namespaces like app.user.login or data.chart.update are common patterns.

Best practices for hendelsesnavn include choosing descriptive, concise names, avoiding spaces, and maintaining consistency across a project. Documentation of all named events is important so developers can implement listeners correctly. In logging and analytics, a well-chosen hendelsesnavn supports effective filtering and interpretation of system behavior.
