Hi all,
I’ve run into a small but possibly meaningful UX issue with how custom RPC function names appear in the Nakama Console UI.
In my module, I register RPCs like so:
```ts
function InitModule(ctx: nkruntime.Context, logger: nkruntime.Logger, nk: nkruntime.Nakama, initializer: nkruntime.Initializer) {
initializer.registerRpc('Admin_SetMaintenanceMode', rpcAdminSetMaintenanceMode);
initializer.registerRpc('Admin_SetRequiredClientVersion', rpcAdminSetRequiredClientVersion);
initializer.registerRpc('StartupHealthchecks', rpcStartUpHealthChecks);
initializer.registerRpc('UpdateLastOnline', rpcUpdateLastOnline);
logger.info('Javascript InitModule loaded');
}
```
The first argument of `registerRpc()` is the function’s ID, which is then visible in the **Nakama Console** under the RPCs tab. However, these IDs are transformed to lowercase, making them harder to read — especially when compared to the built-in RPCs like `DeleteStorageObjects`, which use PascalCase.
My question is:
🔹 **Is there a way to preserve the original casing in the Console display?**
🔹 Or is this automatic normalization by design?
Before filing a GitHub issue or feature request, I wanted to check here first in case there’s already a workaround or rationale behind this behavior.
Thanks in advance!

Hello @Mathijs-Bakker,
The RPC IDs are indeed normalized and will always be registered as lower-case, the original ID is not kept so there’s no way to display it in the Console.
Best.

Ok, clear
So - for example - the id:
```ts
initializer.registerRpc('setrequiredclientversion', rpcAdminSetRequiredClientVersion);
```
could be labeled
```ts
initializer.registerRpc('set-required-client-version', rpcAdminSetRequiredClientVersion);
```
for readability.
(or whatever ‘best’ practice is used in the `current project's style-guide`).

Yes, using snake\_case or dashes is allowed and can help with readability of the RPC IDs.

In addition to what @sesposito mentioned, note that RPCs are also used as URL endpoints, so typically URLs don’t contain dashes and aren’t case sensitive.
