View Source Credo.Check.Design.DuplicatedCode (Credo v1.7.2-rc.4)
This check has a base priority of higher and works with any version of Elixir.
Explanation
Code should not be copy-pasted in a codebase when there is room to abstract the copied functionality in a meaningful way.
That said, you should by no means "ABSTRACT ALL THE THINGS!".
Sometimes it can serve a purpose to have code be explicit in two places, even
if it means the snippets are nearly identical. A good example for this are
Database Adapters in a project like Ecto, where you might have nearly
identical functions for things like order_by or limit in both the
Postgres and MySQL adapters.
In this case, introducing an AbstractAdapter just to avoid code duplication
might cause more trouble down the line than having a bit of duplicated code.
Like all Software Design issues, this is just advice and might not be
applicable to your project/situation.
Check-Specific Parameters
Use the following parameters to configure this check:
:mass_threshold
The minimum mass which a part of code has to have to qualify for this check.
This parameter defaults to 40.
:nodes_threshold
The number of nodes that need to be found to raise an issue.
This parameter defaults to 2.
:excluded_macros
List of macros to be excluded for this check.
This parameter defaults to [].
General Parameters
Like with all checks, general params can be applied.
Parameters can be configured via the .credo.exs config file.
Summary
Functions
Calculates hash values for all sub nodes in a given +ast+.
Returns the mass (count of instructions) for an AST.
Takes a map of hashes to nodes and prunes those nodes that are just subnodes of others in the same set.
Returns a hash-value for a given +ast+.
