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 |
||
10 | View Code Duplication | class CreationTimeFilterIterator extends \FilterIterator |
|
|
|||
11 | { |
||
12 | /** |
||
13 | * From which timestamp we must consider a file to be valid to be considered |
||
14 | * |
||
15 | * @var int |
||
16 | */ |
||
17 | protected $fromTimestamp = 0; |
||
18 | |||
19 | /** |
||
20 | * Constructor |
||
21 | * |
||
22 | * @param \Iterator $iterator |
||
23 | * @param int $secondsAgo |
||
24 | */ |
||
25 | public function __construct(\Iterator $iterator, $secondsAgo) |
||
30 | |||
31 | /** |
||
32 | * All files that comply with this rule will be considered |
||
33 | * |
||
34 | * @see FilterIterator::accept() |
||
35 | */ |
||
36 | public function accept(): bool |
||
47 | } |

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.
