Refactoring. Your way to reduce code complexity of big class with big methods
- by Andrew Florko
I have a legacy class that is rahter complex to maintain:
class OldClass {
method1(arg1, arg2) {
... 200 lines of code ...
}
method2(arg1) {
... 200 lines of code ...
}
...
method20(arg1, arg2, arg3) {
... 200 lines of code ...
}
}
methods are huge, unstructured and repetitive (developer loved copy/paste aprroach). I want to split each method into 3-5 small functions, whith one pulic method and several helpers.
What will you suggest? Several ideas come to my mind:
Add several private helper methods to each method and join them in #region (straight-forward refactoring)
Use Command pattern (one command class per OldClass method in a separate file).
Create helper static class per method with one public method & several private helper methods. OldClass methods delegate implementation to appropriate static class (very similiar to commands).
?
Thank you in advance!
