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 |
||
| 29 | trait ManageCommentReplies |
||
| 30 | { |
||
| 31 | /** |
||
| 32 | * Reply to a comment. |
||
| 33 | * |
||
| 34 | * @param int $commentId |
||
| 35 | * @param string $content |
||
| 36 | * |
||
| 37 | * @return \EasyWeChat\Support\Collection |
||
| 38 | */ |
||
| 39 | 1 | View Code Duplication | public function reply($commentId, $content) |
| 48 | |||
| 49 | /** |
||
| 50 | * Delete a reply. |
||
| 51 | * |
||
| 52 | * @param int $commentId |
||
| 53 | * |
||
| 54 | * @return \EasyWeChat\Support\Collection |
||
| 55 | */ |
||
| 56 | 1 | View Code Duplication | public function deleteReply($commentId) |
| 64 | } |

This check looks for methods that are used by a trait but not required by it.
To illustrate, let’s look at the following code example
The trait
Idableprovides a methodequalsIdthat in turn relies on the methodgetId(). If this method does not exist on a class mixing in this trait, the method will fail.Adding the
getId()as an abstract method to the trait will make sure it is available.
