S10 - Design Patterns

The document introduces design patterns and discusses the factory, repository, facade, and command patterns. Design patterns provide general reusable solutions to common software design problems and make code more readable and maintainable. The factory pattern creates objects without specifying their exact class, the repository pattern decouples data access, the facade pattern provides a simplified interface, and the command pattern encapsulates actions.

Design Patterns:
A collection of general, reusable solutions to
common problems* in software design

* Examples:
• How to communicate between classes
• How to initialize interface implementations
• How to access data stores
• And more…
Benefits of Using Design Patterns

• Tested and used by other developers

• Make your code more readable and easy to modify


History of Design Patterns

• Introduced in 1987

• Popularized in this book:


Why Should I Care?

• Patterns are Micro-Architecture

• Always be familiar with the code!

Patterns We’ll Discuss

• Factory

• Repository

• Façade

• Command
Factory Pattern
Factory Pattern
Creating objects without specifying the exact
class of the object
Factory Pattern Motivation

• Avoid strong coupling between classes


Factory Pattern Example - Weather

New Is Glue
Factory Pattern Example - Weather
Factory Pattern Example - Weather
More Types of Factory Pattern
Factory Pattern

• Hugely popular

• Base for other patterns

• Use it to avoid strong coupling


Repository Pattern
Repository Pattern
Modules not handling the actual work with the
datastore should be oblivious to the datastore
type
Repository Pattern

• Share similarities with the Data Access Layer

• DAL is for Architects

• Repository Pattern is for Developers


Repository Pattern - Example

• Human Resources Application

• Create

• Read by ID & by Department

• UpdateName

• Delete
Repository Pattern - Example
Repository Pattern - Usage
Repository Pattern - Usage
Repository Pattern – Data Store Change
Repository Pattern

• There are more advanced implementations

• Generic classes

• Inheritance

• Extension Frameworks

• Very useful, Use it!


Façade Pattern
Façade Pattern
Creating a layer of abstraction to mask
complex actions
Façade Pattern - Example

• Banking application

• Transfer money
• Make sure accounts exist
• Make sure the first account has enough money
• Withdraw money from first account
• Deposit money in second account
• Add event in account log
Façade Pattern - Example
Façade Pattern - Usage
Command Pattern
Command Pattern
All the action’s information is encapsulated
within an object
Command Pattern - Example

• Undo mechanism

• Naïve implementation:

This is
Bad!
Command Pattern - Usage

1. ICommand Interface:

2. Command Classes:

…
Command Pattern - Usage

3. Get reference to relevant objects:


Command Pattern - Usage

4. Implement the Interface:

Command
Object

Receiver
Command Pattern - Usage

5. Implement the Undo mechanism:

Invoker
Design Patterns - Summary

• Factory

• Repository

• Façade

• Command
Design Patterns - Summary

• Design consistent, flexible, readable and easy to

maintain software

• Use only the patterns you need
