#3 Wrap primitives and Strings Warning!!! Using large amounts of objects will increase the memory footprint of PHP.
#3 Wrap primitives and Strings Key Benefits ● Type Hinting ● Encapsulation of operations
Object Calisthenics #4 “Use first class collections”
#4 Use first class collections A class that contains a collection should contain no other instance variables.
#4 Use first class collections class Items implements Iterator { private $items = []; final public function add(Item $item) { // do add ... } final public function filter(array $filters) { // do filter ... } final public function merge(Items $items) { // do merge ... } }
#4 Use first class collections Key Benefits ● Implements collection operations ● Uses SPL interfaces ● Easier to merge collections and not worry about member behavior in them
Object Calisthenics #5 “One object operator per line”
#5 One object operator per line $this->manager->getConfig()->getSegment()->setName('foo');
#5 One object operator per line Properties are harder to mock $this->manager->getConfig()->getSegment()->setName('foo');
#5 One object operator per line Properties are harder to mock $this->manager->getConfig()->getSegment()->setName('foo'); Previous call could return null
#5 One object operator per line Properties are harder to mock May indicate feature envy $this->manager->getConfig()->getSegment()->setName('foo'); Previous call could return null
#5 One object operator per line Key Benefits ● Readability ● Easier Testing ● Easier to Debug
Object Calisthenics #6 “Do not abbreviate”
#6 Do not abbreviate public function getPage() { ... } public function startProcess() { ... } $smp->process("index");
#6 Do not abbreviate get what page from where? public function getPage() { ... } public function startProcess() { ... } $smp->process("index");

#6 Do not abbreviate Key Benefits ● Clearer communication and maintainability ● Indicates underlying problems
Object Calisthenics #7 “Keep classes small”
#7 Keep classes small 200 lines per class (including docblocks) 10 methods per class 15 classes per namespace (folder)
#7 Keep classes small Key Benefits ● Single Responsibility ● Objective and clear methods ● Slimmer namespaces
Object Calisthenics #8 “Limit the number of instance variables in a class”
#8 Limit instance variables in a class class Client { private $_adapter; private $_cache; private $_logger; // ... } Limit: 2 - 5
#8 Limit instance variables in a class Key Benefits ● Shorter dependency list ● Easier Mocking for unit tests
Object Calisthenics #9 “Use getters/setters”
#9 Use Getters and Setters class Tally { public $total = 0; public function add($amount) { $this->total += $amount; } } $tally = new Tally(); $tally->add(1); // some other code ... $tally->total = -1; // some other code ... $tally->add(1); echo $tally->total . PHP_EOL;
#9 Use Getters and Setters class Tally { public $total = 0; public function add($amount) { $this->total += $amount } } $tally = new Tally(); $tally->add(1); // some other code ... $tally->total = -1 // some other code ... $tally->add(1); echo $tally->total . PHP_EOL; total can be changed without this instance knowing
#9 Use Getters and Setters class Tally { public $total = 0; public function add($amount) { $this->total += $amount } } $tally = new Tally(); total can be changed without this instance knowing $tally->add(1); // some other code ... $tally->total = -1 // some other code ... $tally->add(1); echo $tally->total . PHP_EOL; Causes unexpected results
#9 Use Getters and Setters class Tally total cannot be “reset” { private $total = 0; public function add($amount) { $this->total += $amount; } public function getTotal() { return $this->total; } } $tally = new Tally(); $tally->add(1); $tally->add(1); echo $tally->getTotal() . PHP_EOL; No unexpected results
#9 Use Getters and Setters Warning!!! Excessive setters and getters can be just as bad as public properties
#9 Use Getters and Setters Key Benefits ● Injector operations ● Encapsulation of transformations ● Encourages Open/Closed principle
Recap 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. One level of indentation per method Don’t use the else keyword Wrap primitives that have behavior Use first class collections One object operator per line Do not abbreviate Keep classes small Limit instance variables in a class Use Getters and setters
