Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:
1 | <?php |
||
8 | View Code Duplication | class ForgotPasswordController extends Controller |
|
|
|||
9 | { |
||
10 | protected $data = []; // the information we send to the view |
||
11 | |||
12 | /* |
||
13 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
||
14 | | Password Reset Controller |
||
15 | |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
||
16 | | |
||
17 | | This controller is responsible for handling password reset emails and |
||
18 | | includes a trait which assists in sending these notifications from |
||
19 | | your application to your users. Feel free to explore this trait. |
||
20 | | |
||
21 | */ |
||
22 | |||
23 | use SendsPasswordResetEmails; |
||
24 | |||
25 | /** |
||
26 | * Create a new controller instance. |
||
27 | * |
||
28 | * @return void |
||
29 | */ |
||
30 | public function __construct() |
||
34 | |||
35 | public function guard() |
||
39 | |||
40 | // ------------------------------------------------------- |
||
41 | // Laravel overwrites for loading backpack views |
||
42 | // ------------------------------------------------------- |
||
43 | |||
44 | /** |
||
45 | * Display the form to request a password reset link. |
||
46 | * |
||
47 | * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response |
||
48 | */ |
||
49 | public function showLinkRequestForm() |
||
55 | } |
||

Duplicated code is one of the most pungent code smells. If you need to duplicate the same code in three or more different places, we strongly encourage you to look into extracting the code into a single class or operation.
