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 |
||
11 | View Code Duplication | class SegmentFactory extends Factory |
|
|
|||
12 | { |
||
13 | /** |
||
14 | * @param mixed $data |
||
15 | * |
||
16 | * @return Segment|SegmentCollection |
||
17 | * @throws MailxpertSDKException |
||
18 | */ |
||
19 | public static function parse($data) |
||
23 | |||
24 | /** |
||
25 | * @param $data |
||
26 | * |
||
27 | * @return SegmentCollection |
||
28 | */ |
||
29 | protected static function buildCollection($data) |
||
40 | |||
41 | /** |
||
42 | * @param $data |
||
43 | * |
||
44 | * @return Segment |
||
45 | */ |
||
46 | protected static function buildElement($data) |
||
53 | } |

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.
