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 CreateUser extends BaseUser |
|
12 | { |
||
13 | /** |
||
14 | * Create a user. |
||
15 | * |
||
16 | * @param Request $request |
||
17 | * @param Response $response |
||
18 | * @param array $args |
||
19 | * @return Response |
||
20 | */ |
||
21 | public function __invoke($request, $response, $args) |
||
33 | } |
||
34 |
If a method or function can return multiple different values and unless you are sure that you only can receive a single value in this context, we recommend to add an additional type check:
