The class StandardFieldController has 14 public methods. Consider refactoring StandardFieldController to keep number of public methods under 10. Open
class StandardFieldController
{
/**
* Collection of added Sections / Fields ...- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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

StandardFieldController has 24 functions (exceeds 20 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
class StandardFieldController
{
/**
* Collection of added Sections / Fields ...Function collectToForms has a Cognitive Complexity of 7 (exceeds 5 allowed). Consider refactoring. Open
public function collectToForms()

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 collectToForms uses an else expression. Else clauses are basically not necessary and you can simplify the code by not using them. Open
} else {
$coll[$field->getKey()] = new FieldFormRenderer($field);

ElseExpression
Since: 1.4.0
An if expression with an else branch is basically not necessary. You can rewrite the conditions in a way that the else clause is not necessary and the code becomes simpler to read. To achieve this, use early return statements, though you may need to split the code it several smaller methods. For very simple assignments you could also use the ternary operations.
Example
class Foo
{
public function bar($flag)
{
if ($flag) {
// one branch
} else {
// another branch
}
}
