DesignPatterns

The 23 Gang of Four design patterns, defined in the book "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software".

Behavioral

1. Chain of Responsibility

Avoid coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving more then one object a chance to handle the request. Chain the receiving objects and pass the request along the chain until an object handles it.

2. Command

Encapsulate a request as an object, thereby letting you parameterize clients with different requests, queue or log requests, and support undoable operations.

3. Interpreter

Given a language, define a representation for its grammar along with an interpreter that uses the representation to interpret sentences in the language.

4. Iterator

Provide a way to access the elements of an aggregate object sequentially without exposing its underlying representation.

5. Mediator

Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact. Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly, and lets you vary their interaction independently.

6. Memento

Without violating encapsulation, capture and externalize an objects internal state so that the object can be restored to this state later.

7. Observer

Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically.

8. State

Allow an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes. The object will appear to change its class.

9. Strategy

Defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients who use it.

10. Template Method

Define a skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses. Template Method lets subclasses redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithms structure.

11. Visitor

Represent an operation to be performed on the elements of an object structure. Visitor lets you define a new operation without changing the classes of the elements on which it operates.

Creational

12. Abstract Factory

Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.

13. Builder

Separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction processes can create different representations.

14. Factory Method

Define an interface for creating an object, but let the subclasses decide which class to instantiate. Factory Method lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses.

15. Prototype

Specify the kinds of objects to create using a prototypical instance, and create new objects by copying this prototype.

16. Singleton

Ensure a class only has one instance, and provide a global point of access to it.

Structural

17. Adapter

Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise because of incompatibility interfaces.

18. Bridge

Decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary independently.

19. Composite

Compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly.

20. Decorator

Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality.

21. Facade

Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a system. Facade defines a higher-level interface that makes the subsystem easier to use.

22. Flyweight

Use sharing to support large numbers of fine-grained objects efficiently. A flyweight is a shared object that can be used in multiple contexts simultaneously. The flyweight acts as an independent object in each context. It is indistinguishable from an instance of the object that is not shared.

23. Proxy

Provide a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it.
