Do you have the problem to make a function/variable name? Of cause you do. It does not matter how long you’ve been written codes. Naming things is hard. Especially for developers.

“The results were based on 4,500 votes developers provided on Quora and an older Ubuntu Forums thread. Naming things got (just about) as many votes as the next 8 hardest tasks combined. Wow!”

It just like any other search engines, you give it a keyword, it gives you the result, the difference is it only gives you real-world usage variable names. It searches over projects from GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab to find them.
You even could choose your favorite language. You can also view the source codes too, and it will highlight where the variable name is using.
The most fun part is, you don’t need search with English keyword, search with your mother language, Codelf will translate it to English then search for the results.
Codelf is really nice to every developer, there are plugins for VSCode, Atom, Sublime Text and Chrome app.

For Atom
Code + Elf = Codelf. Means there is an elf side by side when you are coding. Isn’t it so cute?
