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 |
||
7 | View Code Duplication | class NotificationPreferencesList extends MoipResource |
|
|
|||
8 | { |
||
9 | /** |
||
10 | * @const string |
||
11 | */ |
||
12 | const PATH = 'preferences'; |
||
13 | |||
14 | public function initialize() |
||
18 | |||
19 | /** |
||
20 | * Get notifications. |
||
21 | * |
||
22 | * @return array |
||
23 | */ |
||
24 | public function getNotifications() |
||
28 | |||
29 | /** |
||
30 | * Get a notification list. |
||
31 | * |
||
32 | * @return stdClass |
||
33 | */ |
||
34 | public function get() |
||
38 | |||
39 | protected function populate(stdClass $response) |
||
49 | } |

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.
