Class Naming Conventions

I'm currently renaming all the classes in my Discord Bot project but I'm stumped to decide what the suffix should be for a class that the wrapper for a collection in a database.

wouldn't make sense, since I am not using Entity Framework.

Currently I have;

```
Services
```
Services
```
Services
```
Services
for classes that just do things (like handling guild logging events)
```
Modules
```
Modules
```
Modules
```
Modules
for the interaction modules that are used by Discord.NET (handling slash commands)
```
Models
```
Models
```
Models
```
Models
Whatever is the type for the collection
```
Controller
```
Controller
```
Controller
```
Controller
ASP.NET controllers, duh.

If — for whatever godforsaken reason — you're not using EF, you are hereby permitted to use repositories

i'm only not using EF because I prefer having as much control over my data and schemas in my database (and when I started this project, I had no idea how to use it with MongoDB)

RepositoryRepository floats around but that's usually associated with the pattern of the same name or just like MongoServiceMongoService

RepositoryRepository sounds good and there are no words used in the suffix that other classes use, so I'll probaby use that

kate!OP•2/4/24, 12:54 PM

But it's only one collection per-class (hence why I wouldn't do
