    Study Notes

    Bridge Pattern

    • The Bridge pattern allows you to split a large class or a set of closely related classes into two separate hierarchies: abstraction and implementation.
    • This enables the two hierarchies to be developed independently of each other.

    Problem with Class Inheritance

    • Adding new shape types and colors to a hierarchy can lead to exponential growth, making it difficult to manage.
    • For example, adding a triangle shape requires introducing two subclasses for each color, and adding a new color requires creating three subclasses for each shape type.

    Solution

    • The Bridge pattern solves this problem by switching from inheritance to object composition.
    • It extracts one of the dimensions (e.g., color) into a separate class hierarchy, allowing the original classes to reference an object of the new hierarchy.
    • This enables the original classes to delegate work to the linked object, rather than having all the state and behaviors within one class.

    Abstraction and Implementation

    • Abstraction (interface) is a high-level control layer that delegates work to the implementation layer (platform).
    • Abstraction is not supposed to do any real work on its own.
    • The implementation layer performs the actual work.

    Real-World Example

    • In a GUI application, the abstraction can be represented by the graphical user interface (GUI), and the implementation can be the underlying operating system code (API).
    • The GUI layer calls the API in response to user interactions.

    Benefits of the Bridge Pattern

    • Enables extending the application in two independent directions.
    • Allows for changing the GUI classes without touching the API-related classes.
    • Enables adding support for another operating system by creating a subclass in the implementation hierarchy.
