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 | class MultipleSelect extends Select |
||
8 | { |
||
9 | /** |
||
10 | * Other key for many-to-many relation. |
||
11 | * |
||
12 | * @var string |
||
13 | */ |
||
14 | protected $otherKey; |
||
15 | |||
16 | /** |
||
17 | * Get other key for this many-to-many relation. |
||
18 | * |
||
19 | * @throws \Exception |
||
20 | * |
||
21 | * @return string |
||
22 | */ |
||
23 | protected function getOtherKey() |
||
41 | |||
42 | View Code Duplication | public function fill($data) |
|
60 | |||
61 | View Code Duplication | public function setOriginal($data) |
|
79 | |||
80 | public function prepare($value) |
||
86 | } |

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.
