TooManyPublicMethods
Since: 0.1
A class with too many public methods is probably a good suspect for refactoring, in order to reduce its complexity and find a way to have more fine grained objects.
By default it ignores methods starting with 'get' or 'set'.
Example

Method update
has 28 lines of code (exceeds 25 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public function update(FileUpdateRequest $request, File $file): RedirectResponse
{
try {
$file->content = $request->file_content;
$file->save();
Avoid too many return
statements within this method. Open
return redirect()
->route('projects.edit', ['project' => $file->version->project])
->withSuccesses([$file->name . ' saved']);
Function update
has a Cognitive Complexity of 6 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public function update(FileUpdateRequest $request, File $file): RedirectResponse
{
try {
$file->content = $request->file_content;
$file->save();

Cognitive Complexity
Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.
A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:
- Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
- Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
- Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Reduce the number of returns of this function 5, down to the maximum allowed 3. Open
public function update(FileUpdateRequest $request, File $file): RedirectResponse

Having too many return statements in a function increases the function's essential complexity because the flow of execution is broken each time a return statement is encountered. This makes it harder to read and understand the logic of the function.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
function myFunction(){ // Noncompliant as there are 4 return statements if (condition1) { return true; } else { if (condition2) { return false; } else { return true; } } return false; }

CouplingBetweenObjects
Since: 1.1.0
A class with too many dependencies has negative impacts on several quality aspects of a class. This includes quality criteria like stability, maintainability and understandability
Example
class Foo {
/**
* @var \foo\bar\X
*/
private $x = null;
/**
* @var \foo\bar\Y
*/
private $y = null;
/**
* @var \foo\bar\Z
*/
private $z = null;
public function setFoo(\Foo $foo) {}
public function setBar(\Bar $bar) {}
public function setBaz(\Baz $baz) {}
/**
* @return \SplObjectStorage
* @throws \OutOfRangeException
* @throws \InvalidArgumentException
* @throws \ErrorException
*/
public function process(\Iterator $it) {}
// ...

Avoid using static access to class '\App\Jobs\LintContent' in method 'upload'. Open

StaticAccess
Since: 1.4.0
Static access causes unexchangeable dependencies to other classes and leads to hard to test code. Avoid using static access at all costs and instead inject dependencies through the constructor. The only case when static access is acceptable is when used for factory methods.
Example
class Foo
{
public function bar()
{
Bar::baz();
}
}

Define a constant instead of duplicating this literal "version" 3 times. Open

Duplicated string literals make the process of refactoring error-prone, since you must be sure to update all occurrences.
On the other hand, constants can be referenced from many places, but only need to be updated in a single place.
Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
function run() { prepare('action1'); // Non-Compliant - 'action1' is duplicated 3 times execute('action1'); release('action1'); }
Compliant Solution
ACTION_1 = 'action1'; function run() { prepare(ACTION_1); execute(ACTION_1); release(ACTION_1); }
Exceptions
To prevent generating some false-positives, literals having less than 5 characters are excluded.
