1.2.1201. Too Many Dereferencing¶
Linking too many properties and methods, one to the other.
This analysis counts both static calls and normal call; methods, properties and constants. It also takes into account arrays along the way.
The default limit of chaining methods and properties is set to 7 by default. Too many chained methods is harder to read.
<?php
// 9 chained calls.
$main->getA()->getB()->getC()->getD()->getE()->getF()->getG()->getH()->getI()->property;
?>
