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 |
||
| 14 | class CheckRequired implements ValidatorInterface |
||
| 15 | { |
||
| 16 | /** |
||
| 17 | * @var string|null |
||
| 18 | */ |
||
| 19 | private $error; |
||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | /** |
||
| 22 | * @param string $error optional custom error message |
||
|
|
|||
| 23 | */ |
||
| 24 | 10 | public function __construct($error = null) |
|
| 28 | |||
| 29 | 1 | View Code Duplication | public function validate(FieldInterface $field, InputModel $model, InputValidation $validation) |
| 38 | } |

This check looks for
@paramannotations where the type inferred by our type inference engine differs from the declared type.It makes a suggestion as to what type it considers more descriptive.
Most often this is a case of a parameter that can be null in addition to its declared types.
