Factory Method Design Pattern

#designpatterns #dotnet #gangoffour Let’s take a look at the Factory Method design Pattern. The Factory Method Design Pattern is one of the fundamental Creational Patterns catalogued in the famous Gang of Four Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software book by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides. It enables us to separate the code responsible for the creation of an object from where such objects are used. Specifically, we will have a factory method that will take data at runtime and decide which concrete type to produce, delegating such behavior to subclasses of an abstract creator class.Our example involves a program that creates and uses different types of objects that deliver food by implementing a common interface. Thanks to a factory method, our client code remains agnostic to the implementation details. In this series, we’ll be going through each of the patterns covered in the “Gang of Four” Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. Each video will use a real-world example, taking inspiration from food-based businesses. I’m including typical integrations in the form of mock databases, AMQP queues, email services, and loggers, as well as several features from C# 9.0. All of the code for this series is open source and available at the GitHub link below.
