Yoda conditions : a questionable best practice that makes code less error-prone, but also harder to read for people that don't share the same grammar rules as on Dagobah. Anyway, they are useful when you want to avoid confusing assignment and equality operators, but I doubt people often write `=` while meaning to write `<=`.
| @greg0ire as you may know, the source code of Symfony uses this style of coding. However, in this particular case, I totally agree with you. The non-Yoda conditional is much easier to understand. Let's see what others think about this. |
| This is perfectly fine here. This is comparing a constant and the return value of a method call, so the Yoda condition does not add benefit here. |
| @stof : this PR removes the yodaism, not the other way around.
Does "here" mean before or after the P.R. ? It feels like you mean before… |
| I mean the change is fine here (i.e. in this kind of code snippet). Sorry for being unclear. My vote is a 👍 |
| No problem, thanks for your support! |
| 👍 Fine for me. |
