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 DefaultRole extends Widget |
|
|
|||
9 | { |
||
10 | /** |
||
11 | * The configuration array. |
||
12 | * |
||
13 | * @var array |
||
14 | */ |
||
15 | protected $config = [ |
||
16 | 'background' => 'bg-white', |
||
17 | 'icon-background' => 'primary', |
||
18 | 'text' => 'dark' |
||
19 | ]; |
||
20 | |||
21 | /** |
||
22 | * Treat this method as a controller action. |
||
23 | * Return view() or other content to display. |
||
24 | */ |
||
25 | public function run() |
||
35 | |||
36 | /** |
||
37 | * Determine if the widget should be displayed. |
||
38 | * |
||
39 | * @return bool |
||
40 | */ |
||
41 | public function shouldBeDisplayed() |
||
45 | } |

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.
