Factory Method pattern

A creational design pattern used to create objects while allowing subclasses to specify the types of objects they create.

What is the purpose of Factory Method?

The Factory Method pattern aims to separate object creation logic from client code, improving flexibility and making it easier to add new object types.

Key components of Factory Method

The Factory Method design pattern includes a Creator (abstract class or interface), Concrete Creators (implementations of the Creator), Product (interface or abstract class), and Concrete Products (specific object implementations).

Advantages of Factory Method

Benefits include separating creation logic, making adding new products easier, simplifying unit testing, centralizing object creation logic, and reducing dependency.

Disadvantages of Factory Method

Potential drawbacks include increased complexity due to additional classes and interfaces, slight performance impacts due to polymorphism, and the need for clients to understand specific subclasses.

Caching

A technique to store the state of an object for quicker access in the future, avoiding redundant computations.

Memento Design Pattern

A behavioral pattern that allows an object to capture its internal state and save it externally, so that it can be restored later, providing the ability to undo operations and revert to previous states.

When NOT to use Memento

The Memento pattern is not suitable for situations involving large or frequently changing states, immutable objects, or where the overhead of implementation outweighs the benefits.

Study Notes

Factory Method Design Pattern

  • Factory Method is a creational design pattern used in software development
  • It provides an interface for creating objects in a superclass
  • Subclasses specify the types of objects they create
  • Simplifies object creation by using a dedicated method, reducing dependencies
  • Allows subclasses to create specific objects, improving flexibility and maintainability
  • Use Factory Method when object creation is complex or varies;
    • Improves flexibility, handling different product versions or new types
    • Using specific factory methods for each.
  • Encapsulates configuration logic, allowing clients to customize object creation process.
  • Includes components: Creator, Concrete Creator, Product

Abstract Factory Pattern

  • The Abstract Factory Pattern is a way to organize how you create groups of related things.
  • It provides a set of rules or instructions
  • Allows creation of different types of things without knowing exactly what they are
  • Keeps everything organized and lets you switch between types easily
  • Includes components: Abstract Factory, Concrete Factories, Abstract Products, Concrete Products, Client

Flyweight Design Pattern

  • The Flyweight Design Pattern saves memory in applications creating many similar objects.
  • Instead of creating a new object for each instance, it reuses existing ones
  • Sharing common parts between objects
  • Objects split into shared (intrinsic) and unique (extrinsic) data
  • Shared data stored centrally; reused
  • Unique data stored separately

Memento Design Pattern

  • The Memento design pattern captures and restores an object's internal state without violating encapsulation
  • Allows saving and restoring the object to a previous state
  • Provides ability to undo or roll back changes
  • Benefits include encapsulation of object state, undo functionality, separation of concerns

Adapter Design Pattern

  • Two incompatible interfaces or systems can cooperate using the adapter design pattern.
  • Serves as a bridge between two classes that wouldn't otherwise communicate
  • Useful when incorporating third-party libraries or legacy code

Observer Design Pattern

  • Defines how a group of objects (observers) interact based on changes in the state of a subject.
  • Observers react to changes in the subject's state
  • The subject doesn't need to know the specific classes of its observers.
  • Observers can be easily added or removed without affecting the subject

Decorator Design Pattern

  • Dynamically adds new behaviors or functionality to individual objects without altering the object's structure or behavior of other objects
  • Useful for achieving flexibility and adhering to the Open-Closed Principle (allowing extensions without modifying existing code)
  • Enhances functionality in a modular and reusable way
  • Avoids subclassing by composing behaviors dynamically

Facade Design Pattern

  • Provides a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem.
  • Defines a high-level interface that makes the subsystem easier to use
  • Simplifies interface, hiding internal system details
  • Reduces coupling by disconnecting clients from internal workings of the subsystem

Proxy Design Pattern

  • Provides a substitute or placeholder for another object.
  • Controls access to the original object
  • Allows performing actions either before or after the original request

Composite Design Pattern

  • Composes objects into tree structures
  • Allows working with structures as if they were individual objects

State Design Pattern

  • Alters object behavior when its internal state changes
  • Appears as if the object changed its class
  • Useful for large or frequently changing states; separates logic
  • Reduces complex conditionals
  • Helps to structure state-specific behavior.

Singleton Design Pattern

  • Ensures a class has only one instance
  • Provides a global access point to this instance

Bridge Design Pattern

  • Separates abstraction from implementation
  • Allows independent development and modification of abstraction and implementation
  • Increases loose coupling between class abstraction and its implementation
