Design patterns are recurring solutions to common problems in software design. They help in creating maintainable, scalable, and flexible software. "DesignPatternWizard" exists to provide a hands-on approach to understanding and implementing these patterns. The project uses JavaScript and is designed for developers and software engineering students. This project, called "DesignPattern," is a software application that aims to showcase and implement various design patterns in a practical way. Its main purpose is to serve as a learning resource for developers who want to understand and apply design patterns in their own projects.
In "DesignPattern," we've implemented various design patterns to demonstrate their use and benefits:
Creational design patterns focus on object creation mechanisms, providing flexibility in how objects are instantiated. They abstract the instantiation process, making the system independent of how its objects are created, composed, and represented.
The Factory Method Pattern defines an interface for creating an object, but it allows subclasses to alter the type of objects that will be created.
The Abstract Factory Pattern provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.
The Singleton Pattern ensures that a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it.
Structural design patterns are concerned with how objects are composed to form larger structures. They focus on the composition of classes or objects to create new structures, often simplifying complex relationships.The project incorporates structural design patterns such as Composite, Decorator, and Bridge.
The Decorator Pattern attaches additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. It provides a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality.
The Adapter Pattern allows the interface of an existing class to be used as another interface. It is often used to make existing classes work with others without modifying their source code.
The Facade Pattern provides a simplified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem, making it easier to use.
The Proxy Pattern provides a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it.
The Bridge Pattern separates an object’s abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary independently.
Behavioral design patterns are concerned with how objects interact and communicate with each other. They define the patterns for objects' interactions and responsibilities.This project incoporates behavioral patterns such as stratergy,observer and command patterns.
The Strategy Pattern allows you to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. It helps in selecting the appropriate algorithm at runtime.
The Observer Pattern defines a one-to-many dependency between objects. When one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically.
The Command Pattern encapsulates a request as an object, thereby allowing you to parameterize clients with queues, requests, and operations.
