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 | class RequestsHttpAdapter extends AbstractHttpAdapter |
||
12 | { |
||
13 | |||
14 | /** |
||
15 | * Initializes the class. |
||
16 | * |
||
17 | * @param null $endpoint Override the default endpoint (useful for local development) |
||
18 | */ |
||
19 | public function __construct($endpoint = NULL) |
||
25 | |||
26 | /** |
||
27 | * Perform an HTTP request on MusicBrainz |
||
28 | * |
||
29 | * @param string $path |
||
30 | * @param array $params |
||
31 | * @param array $options |
||
32 | * @param boolean $isAuthRequired |
||
33 | * @param boolean $returnArray force json_decode to return an array instead of an object |
||
34 | * |
||
35 | * @throws \MusicBrainz\Exception |
||
36 | * @return array |
||
37 | */ |
||
38 | public function call($path, array $params = array(), array $options = array(), $isAuthRequired = FALSE, $returnArray = FALSE) |
||
71 | } |

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.
