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 |
||
9 | class UserAdd extends Command |
||
10 | { |
||
11 | /** |
||
12 | * The name and signature of the console command. |
||
13 | * |
||
14 | * @var string |
||
15 | */ |
||
16 | protected $signature = 'user:add {email} {password?} |
||
17 | {--guard= : The guard to use.}'; |
||
18 | |||
19 | /** |
||
20 | * The console command description. |
||
21 | * |
||
22 | * @var string |
||
23 | */ |
||
24 | protected $description = 'Create a new user.'; |
||
25 | |||
26 | /** |
||
27 | * Execute the console command. |
||
28 | * |
||
29 | * @return mixed |
||
30 | */ |
||
31 | public function handle(): void |
||
69 | |||
70 | protected function getGuard(): string |
||
76 | } |
||
77 |
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.
