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 |
||
10 | View Code Duplication | class CreateLawsTable extends Migration |
|
11 | { |
||
12 | /** |
||
13 | * Run the migrations. |
||
14 | * |
||
15 | * @return void |
||
16 | */ |
||
17 | public function up() |
||
25 | /** |
||
26 | * Reverse the migrations. |
||
27 | * |
||
28 | * @return void |
||
29 | */ |
||
30 | public function down() |
||
34 | } |
||
35 |
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.
