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

ProjectsController
has 23 functions (exceeds 20 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
class ProjectsController extends Controller
{
/**

Function manageBadges
has a Cognitive Complexity of 12 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open

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"

A class that grows too much tends to aggregate too many responsibilities and inevitably becomes harder to understand and therefore to maintain. Above a specific threshold, it is strongly advised to refactor the class into smaller ones which focus on well defined topics.
Reduce the number of returns of this function 4, down to the maximum allowed 3. Open
public function store(ProjectStoreRequest $request): RedirectResponse
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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; }

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.
Define and throw a dedicated exception instead of using a generic one. Open
throw new \RuntimeException('BadgeProject not found');

If you throw a general exception type, such as ErrorException, RuntimeException, or Exception in a library or framework, it forces consumers to catch all exceptions, including unknown exceptions that they do not know how to handle.
Instead, either throw a subtype that already exists in the Standard PHP Library, or create your own type that derives from Exception.
Noncompliant Code Example
throw new Exception(); // Noncompliant
Compliant Solution
throw new InvalidArgumentException(); // or throw new UnexpectedValueException();

- MITRE, CWE-397 - Declaration of Throws for Generic Exception
- CERT, ERR07-J. - Do not throw RuntimeException, Exception, or Throwable
