Schone codeprincipes voor XOOPS

Overzicht

Schone code is code die gemakkelijk te lezen, te begrijpen en te onderhouden is. Deze gids behandelt schone codeprincipes die specifiek worden toegepast op de ontwikkeling van XOOPS-modules.

Betekenisvolle namen

Variabelen

// Bad
$d = new DateTime();
$u = $memberHandler->getUser($id);
$arr = [];

// Good
$createdDate = new DateTime();
$currentUser = $memberHandler->getUser($userId);
$publishedArticles = [];

Functies

// Bad
function process($data) { ... }
function handle($item) { ... }
function doStuff($x, $y) { ... }

// Good
function publishArticle(Article $article): void { ... }
function calculateTotalPrice(array $items): float { ... }
function sendNotificationEmail(User $user, string $subject): bool { ... }

Klassen

// Bad
class Manager { ... }
class Helper { ... }
class Utils { ... }

// Good
class ArticleRepository { ... }
class NotificationService { ... }
class PermissionChecker { ... }

Kleine functies

Eén verantwoordelijkheid

// Bad - does too many things
function processArticle($data) {
    // Validate
    if (empty($data['title'])) {
        throw new Exception('Title required');
    }
    // Save
    $article = new Article();
    $article->setTitle($data['title']);
    $this->repository->save($article);
    // Notify
    $this->mailer->send($article->getAuthor(), 'Article published');
    // Log
    $this->logger->info('Article created');
    return $article;
}

// Good - each function does one thing
function validateArticleData(array $data): void
{
    if (empty($data['title'])) {
        throw new ValidationException('Title required');
    }
}

function createArticle(array $data): Article
{
    $this->validateArticleData($data);
    return Article::create($data['title'], $data['content']);
}

function publishArticle(Article $article): void
{
    $this->repository->save($article);
    $this->notifyAuthor($article);
    $this->logArticleCreation($article);
}

Functielengte

Houd de functies kort – idealiter onder de 20 regels:

// Good - focused function
public function getPublishedArticles(int $limit = 10): array
{
    $criteria = new CriteriaCompo();
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('status', 'published'));
    $criteria->setSort('published_at');
    $criteria->setOrder('DESC');
    $criteria->setLimit($limit);

    return $this->repository->getObjects($criteria);
}

DRY-principe (herhaal jezelf niet)

Algemene code extraheren

// Bad - repeated code
function getActiveUsers() {
    $criteria = new CriteriaCompo();
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('level', 0, '>'));
    $criteria->setSort('uname');
    return $this->userHandler->getObjects($criteria);
}

function getActiveAdmins() {
    $criteria = new CriteriaCompo();
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('level', 0, '>'));
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('is_admin', 1));
    $criteria->setSort('uname');
    return $this->userHandler->getObjects($criteria);
}

// Good - shared logic extracted
function getUsers(CriteriaCompo $criteria): array
{
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('level', 0, '>'));
    $criteria->setSort('uname');
    return $this->userHandler->getObjects($criteria);
}

function getActiveUsers(): array
{
    return $this->getUsers(new CriteriaCompo());
}

function getActiveAdmins(): array
{
    $criteria = new CriteriaCompo();
    $criteria->add(new Criteria('is_admin', 1));
    return $this->getUsers($criteria);
}

Foutafhandeling

Gebruik uitzonderingen op de juiste manier

// Bad - generic exceptions
throw new Exception('Error');

// Good - specific exceptions
throw new ArticleNotFoundException($articleId);
throw new PermissionDeniedException('Cannot edit article');
throw new ValidationException(['title' => 'Title is required']);

Ga netjes om met fouten

public function findArticle(string $id): ?Article
{
    try {
        return $this->repository->findById($id);
    } catch (DatabaseException $e) {
        $this->logger->error('Database error finding article', [
            'id' => $id,
            'error' => $e->getMessage()
        ]);
        throw new ServiceException('Unable to retrieve article', 0, $e);
    }
}

Opmerkingen

Wanneer moet u reageren

// Bad - obvious comment
// Increment counter
$counter++;

// Good - explains why, not what
// Cache for 1 hour to reduce database load during peak traffic
$cache->set($key, $data, 3600);

// Good - documents complex algorithm
/**
 * Calculate article relevance score using TF-IDF algorithm.
 * Higher scores indicate better match with search terms.
 */
function calculateRelevanceScore(Article $article, array $terms): float
{
    // ...
}

Codeorganisatie

Klassenstructuur

class ArticleService
{
    // 1. Constants
    private const MAX_TITLE_LENGTH = 255;

    // 2. Properties
    private ArticleRepository $repository;
    private EventDispatcher $events;

    // 3. Constructor
    public function __construct(
        ArticleRepository $repository,
        EventDispatcher $events
    ) {
        $this->repository = $repository;
        $this->events = $events;
    }

    // 4. Public methods
    public function publish(Article $article): void { ... }
    public function archive(Article $article): void { ... }

    // 5. Private methods
    private function validateForPublication(Article $article): void { ... }
}

Controlelijst voor schone code

• Namen zijn betekenisvol en uitspreekbaar
• Functies doen maar één ding
• Functies zijn klein (< 20 regels)
• Geen dubbele code
• Correcte foutafhandeling met specifieke uitzonderingen
• Opmerkingen leggen uit “waarom”, niet “wat”
• Consistente opmaak en stijl
• Geen magische getallen of strings
• Afhankelijkheden worden geïnjecteerd, niet gecreëerd
