Design patterns are reusable solutions to common software design problems. They provide a way for software developers to solve common problems in a consistent and efficient way, without having to reinvent the wheel every time.
Benefits of using Design Patterns =>
• Reusability: Avoid reinventing the wheel each time.
• Scalability: Design flexible and adaptable software.
• Maintainability: Easier to modify and debug code.
• Standardization: Common vocabulary and structure across different projects.
• Collaboration: Easier for multiple developers to work on the same codebase.
Some commonly used design patterns =>
• Strategy Pattern: The strategy pattern is used to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable.
For example, imagine you have a game with different character types, each with their own unique abilities. The strategy pattern would allow you to define a set of strategies (i.e., algorithms) for each character type, and then easily switch between them as needed.
• Observer Pattern: The observer pattern is used to notify objects when there is a change in another object.
For example, imagine you have a weather app that needs to notify its users when the temperature changes. The observer pattern would allow you to define a set of observers (i.e., the users), and then notify them when the temperature changes.
• Decorator Pattern: The decorator pattern is used to add functionality to an object dynamically, without changing its original structure.
For example, imagine you have a car and you want to add a GPS navigation system to it. The decorator pattern would allow you to add the GPS system without having to modify the car itself.
• Command Pattern: The command pattern is used to encapsulate a request as an object, allowing it to be stored, passed around, and executed at a later time.
For example, imagine you have a home automation system that allows you to control your lights, thermostat, and other devices. The command pattern would allow you to encapsulate each command (e.g., turn on the lights), store it as an object, and execute it later.
• Factory Pattern: The factory pattern is used to create objects without exposing the creation logic to the client.
For example, imagine you have a game with different levels, each with their own set of enemies. The factory pattern would allow you to create the enemies for each level without exposing the creation logic to the client.
• Composite Pattern: The composite pattern is used to create a tree-like structure of objects, where individual objects and groups of objects are treated the same way.
For example, imagine you have a file system, where files and directories are treated the same way. The composite pattern would allow you to treat individual files and directories as the same type of object, and create a tree-like structure of the entire file system.
