The class PublicController has 12 public methods. Consider refactoring PublicController to keep number of public methods under 10. Open
class PublicController extends Controller

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
Source https://phpmd.org/rules/codesize.html#toomanypublicmethods
File PublicController.php
has 257 lines of code (exceeds 250 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
Method returnProjectView
has 41 lines of code (exceeds 25 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
private function returnProjectView(Request $request, $projects, string $badge = '')
{
$category = '';
if ($request->has('category')) {
$category = Category::where('slug', $request->get('category'))->firstOrFail();
Method projectJson
has 32 lines of code (exceeds 25 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public function projectJson(string $slug): JsonResponse
{
/** @var Project|null $project */
$project = Project::where('slug', $slug)->first();
if ($project === null) {
Function returnProjectView
has a Cognitive Complexity of 10 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
private function returnProjectView(Request $request, $projects, string $badge = '')
{
$category = '';
if ($request->has('category')) {
$category = Category::where('slug', $request->get('category'))->firstOrFail();

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"
Further reading
The method returnProjectView() has a Cyclomatic Complexity of 10. The configured cyclomatic complexity threshold is 10. Open
private function returnProjectView(Request $request, $projects, string $badge = '')
{
$category = '';
if ($request->has('category')) {
$category = Category::where('slug', $request->get('category'))->firstOrFail();

CyclomaticComplexity
Since: 0.1
Complexity is determined by the number of decision points in a method plus one for the method entry. The decision points are 'if', 'while', 'for', and 'case labels'. Generally, 1-4 is low complexity, 5-7 indicates moderate complexity, 8-10 is high complexity, and 11+ is very high complexity.
Example
// Cyclomatic Complexity = 11
class Foo {
1 public function example() {
2 if ($a == $b) {
3 if ($a1 == $b1) {
fiddle();
4 } elseif ($a2 == $b2) {
fiddle();
} else {
fiddle();
}
5 } elseif ($c == $d) {
6 while ($c == $d) {
fiddle();
}
7 } elseif ($e == $f) {
8 for ($n = 0; $n < $h; $n++) {
fiddle();
}
} else {
switch ($z) {
9 case 1:
fiddle();
break;
10 case 2:
fiddle();
break;
11 case 3:
fiddle();
break;
default:
fiddle();
break;
}
}
}

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 "order" 5 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.
