Namespaces that correspond to file location

Question

I would like to use "namespaces that correspond to file location" rule for my Unity project, but I cannot think about subdirectory names.

For example, I am having this script in this directory hierachy:

Scripts->Patterns->Singleton->Singleton.cs

So the namespace according to the rule above will be Scripts.Patterns.Singleton

But it intersects with a script class name and this is not ok for me. How I can name subdirectory for Singleton.cs?

You wouldnt have a namespace called Singleton you would put the Singleton class in the Patterns namespace. If you had multiple singleton implementations you could create a Singletons namespace instead.

I would argue that Patterns isnt a particularly good namespace either but its better than Singleton.

Yes, but this way I will have a directory named Patterns that will have all patern scripts: Singleton.cs, Pool.cs, PoolObject.cs etc in the same directory, I wanna avoid this alt text

Why do you want to avoid that? Have a single folder for each script and a single namespace is the opposite of why those two mechanisms exist.

Well, then its against the standart Resharper rule - Namespaces should correspond to file location. So if I make folders for scripts so I dont use these folder names in my namespace then I break the rule.
