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 |
||
7 | class CreateFeaturesTable extends Migration |
||
|
|||
8 | { |
||
9 | /** |
||
10 | * Run the migrations. |
||
11 | * |
||
12 | * @return void |
||
13 | */ |
||
14 | View Code Duplication | public function up() |
|
26 | |||
27 | /** |
||
28 | * Reverse the migrations. |
||
29 | * |
||
30 | * @return void |
||
31 | */ |
||
32 | public function down() |
||
36 | } |
||

You can fix this by adding a namespace to your class:
When choosing a vendor namespace, try to pick something that is not too generic to avoid conflicts with other libraries.
