🚀 介绍 / Introduction

设计模式是为解决某些普遍存在的问题提出的方案与指导原则。它们不是类，程序包或库文件，没法直接放到您的应用程序里然后等待神奇的事情发生。确切地说，它们是一种指导原则，旨在告诉您可以选用某种方法，来解决某些问题。

设计模式是为解决某些普遍存在的问题提出的方案与指导原则。

维基百科这样描述它们：

在软件工程领域，软件设计模式是为软件设计过程中，对给定上下文普遍存在的问题，所提出的通用、可重用的解决方案。它不是完整的设计实现，无法直接转译为源代码或机器码。正相反，它是面向如何解决问题的描述或模板，并可以在很多不同的情况下使用。

⚠️ 请注意 / Be Careful

• 设计模式并不是解决您所有问题的万全之策。
• 不要强迫去使用它们；否则很可能发生不好的事情。
• 请记住，设计模式是一种指导方案，用来解决问题，而不是找到问题；所以不要想太多。
• 如果在正确的地方以正确的方式使用设计模式，它们或许能成为您的得力帮手；否则可能导致您的代码混乱不堪。

🐢 在开始之前 / Before you start

• 所有的设计模式示例都基于 JavaScript 的 ES6 规范实现。
• 由于 JavaScript 中不存在实现接口的说法，因此我们在代码示例中使用了隐式接口，这意味着只有一个类具有一个接口应当有的属性和方法，这个类就被认为实现了这个接口。为了让您更容易分辨当前正在使用的接口，我们在每个示例中都添加了注释信息。

🛎️ 设计模式的类型 / Types of Design Patterns

• 创建型
• 结构型
• 行为型

🏗️ 创建型设计模式 / Creational Design Patterns

简单来说

创建型设计模式关注如何实例化一个对象，或一组相关的对象。

维基百科这样描述

在软件工程领域，创建型设计模式是处理对象创建机制的设计模式，试图以符合要求的方式来创建对象。创建对象的基础方式可能导致设计问题或增加设计复杂度。创建型设计模式通过以某种方式控制对象创建的过程，来解决这个问题。

• 简单工厂模式
• 工厂方法模式
• 抽象工厂模式
• 生成器模式
• 原型模式
• 单例模式

🏠 简单工厂模式 / Simple Factory

现实生活中的例子

想象，您正在修建一栋房子，但是您需要门。您可以穿上木匠的衣服，拿上木头、胶水、钉子以及所有需要的工具，在您的房子里亲自制作这个门；或者，您只需要打个电话给工厂，让他们把制造好的门送到您身边，这样您不必了解任何关于制作门的知识，也不必处理制作门所带来的麻烦。

简单来说

简单工厂只是为客户端生成一个实例，而不向客户端暴露任何实例化操作的逻辑。

维基百科这样描述

在面向对象编程（OOP）中，工厂是用于创建其它对象的对象——更准确地说，工厂是一个函数或方法，通过调用它的某个方法（假设为 "new"）可以返回拥有不同原型或类的对象。

编程示例

首先，我们定义了门的接口和并实现了它

/**
 * Door
 * getWidth()
 * getHeight()
 */

class WoodenDoor {
  constructor(width, height){
    this.width = width
    this.height = height
  }

  getWidth(){
    return this.width
  }

  getHeight(){
    return this.height
  }
}

接下来，我们有了制造并返回门的工厂

const DoorFactory = {
  makeDoor : (width, height) => new WoodenDoor(width, height)
}

最后，可以这样使用工厂

// 给我制造一个 100x200 的门
const door = DoorFactory.makeDoor(100, 200)

console.log('Width:', door.getWidth())
console.log('Height:', door.getHeight())

// 给我制造一个 50x100 的门
const door = DoorFactory.makeDoor(50, 100)

什么时候使用？

当创建一个对象不仅仅是赋值操作，而是会涉及到一些逻辑过程时，把它放到一个专用工厂中（而不是在每个地方编写重复的代码）是很有意义的。

🏭 工厂方法模式 / Factory Method

Real world example

Consider the case of a hiring manager. It is impossible for one person to interview for each of the positions. Based on the job opening, she has to decide and delegate the interview steps to different people.

In plain words

It provides a way to delegate the instantiation logic to child classes.

Wikipedia says

In class-based programming, the factory method pattern is a creational pattern that uses factory methods to deal with the problem of creating objects without having to specify the exact class of the object that will be created. This is done by creating objects by calling a factory method—either specified in an interface and implemented by child classes, or implemented in a base class and optionally overridden by derived classes—rather than by calling a constructor.

Programmatic Example

Taking our hiring manager example above. First of all we have an interviewer interface and some implementations for it

/*
Interviewer interface

askQuestions()
*/

class Developer {
  askQuestions() {
    console.log('Asking about design patterns!')
  }
}

class CommunityExecutive {
  askQuestions() {
    console.log('Asking about community building')
  }
}

Now let us create our HiringManager

class HiringManager {
        
    takeInterview() {
        const interviewer = this.makeInterviewer()
        interviewer.askQuestions()
    }
}

Now any child can extend it and provide the required interviewer

class DevelopmentManager extends HiringManager {
    makeInterviewer() {
        return new Developer()
    }
}

class MarketingManager extends HiringManager {
    makeInterviewer() {
        return new CommunityExecutive()
    }
}

and then it can be used as

const devManager = new DevelopmentManager()
devManager.takeInterview() // Output: Asking about design patterns

const marketingManager = new MarketingManager()
marketingManager.takeInterview() // Output: Asking about community buildng.

When to use?

Useful when there is some generic processing in a class but the required sub-class is dynamically decided at runtime. Or putting it in other words, when the client doesn't know what exact sub-class it might need.

🔨 抽象工厂模式 / Abstract Factory

Real world example

Extending our door example from Simple Factory. Based on your needs you might get a wooden door from a wooden door shop, iron door from an iron shop or a PVC door from the relevant shop. Plus you might need a guy with different kind of specialities to fit the door, for example a carpenter for wooden door, welder for iron door etc. As you can see there is a dependency between the doors now, wooden door needs carpenter, iron door needs a welder etc.

In plain words

A factory of factories a factory that groups the individual but related/dependent factories together without specifying their concrete classes.

Wikipedia says

The abstract factory pattern provides a way to encapsulate a group of individual factories that have a common theme without specifying their concrete classes

Programmatic Example

Translating the door example above. First of all we have our Door interface and some implementation for it

/*
Door interface :

getDescription()
*/

class WoodenDoor {
    getDescription() {
        console.log('I am a wooden door')
    }
}

class IronDoor {
    getDescription() {
        console.log('I am an iron door')
    }
}

Then we have some fitting experts for each door type

/*
DoorFittingExpert interface :

getDescription()
*/

class Welder {
    getDescription() {
        console.log('I can only fit iron doors')
    }
}

class Carpenter {
    getDescription() {
        console.log('I can only fit wooden doors')
    }
}

Now we have our abstract factory that would let us make family of related objects i.e. wooden door factory would create a wooden door and wooden door fitting expert and iron door factory would create an iron door and iron door fitting expert

/*
DoorFactory interface :

makeDoor()
makeFittingExpert()
*/

// Wooden factory to return carpenter and wooden door
class WoodenDoorFactory {
    makeDoor(){
        return new WoodenDoor()
    }

    makeFittingExpert() {
        return new Carpenter()
    }
}

// Iron door factory to get iron door and the relevant fitting expert
class IronDoorFactory {
    makeDoor(){
        return new IronDoor()
    }

    makeFittingExpert() {
        return new Welder()
    }
}

And then it can be used as

woodenFactory = new WoodenDoorFactory()

door = woodenFactory.makeDoor()
expert = woodenFactory.makeFittingExpert()

door.getDescription()  // Output: I am a wooden door
expert.getDescription() // Output: I can only fit wooden doors

// Same for Iron Factory
ironFactory = new IronDoorFactory()

door = ironFactory.makeDoor()
expert = ironFactory.makeFittingExpert()

door.getDescription()  // Output: I am an iron door
expert.getDescription() // Output: I can only fit iron doors

As you can see the wooden door factory has encapsulated the carpenter and the wooden door also iron door factory has encapsulated the iron door and welder. And thus it had helped us make sure that for each of the created door, we do not get a wrong fitting expert.

When to use?

When there are interrelated dependencies with not-that-simple creation logic involved

👷 生成器模式 / Builder

译注：又名建造模式。

Real world example

Imagine you are at Hardee's and you order a specific deal, lets say, "Big Hardee" and they hand it over to you without any questions this is the example of simple factory. But there are cases when the creation logic might involve more steps. For example you want a customized Subway deal, you have several options in how your burger is made e.g what bread do you want? what types of sauces would you like? What cheese would you want? etc. In such cases builder pattern comes to the rescue.

In plain words

Allows you to create different flavors of an object while avoiding constructor pollution. Useful when there could be several flavors of an object. Or when there are a lot of steps involved in creation of an object.

Wikipedia says

The builder pattern is an object creation software design pattern with the intentions of finding a solution to the telescoping constructor anti-pattern.

Having said that let me add a bit about what telescoping constructor anti-pattern is. At one point or the other we have all seen a constructor like below:

constructor(size, cheese = true, pepperoni = true, tomato = false, lettuce = true) {
    // ... 
}

As you can see the number of constructor parameters can quickly get out of hand and it might become difficult to understand the arrangement of parameters. Plus this parameter list could keep on growing if you would want to add more options in future. This is called telescoping constructor anti-pattern.

Programmatic Example

The sane alternative is to use the builder pattern. First of all we have our burger that we want to make

class Burger {
    constructor(builder) {
        this.size = builder.size
        this.cheeze = builder.cheeze || false
        this.pepperoni = builder.pepperoni || false
        this.lettuce = builder.lettuce || false
        this.tomato = builder.tomato || false
    }
}

And then we have the builder

class BurgerBuilder {

    constructor(size) {
        this.size = size
    }

    addPepperoni() {
        this.pepperoni = true
        return this
    }

    addLettuce() {
        this.lettuce = true
        return this
    }

    addCheeze() {
        this.cheeze = true
        return this
    }

    addTomato() {
        this.tomato = true
        return this
    }

    build() {
        return new Burger(this)
    }
}

And then it can be used as:

const burger = (new BurgerBuilder(14))
    .addPepperoni()
    .addLettuce()
    .addTomato()
    .build()

Javascript specific tip : When you find that the number of arguments to a function or method are too many (normally any more than 2 arguments is considered too much), use a single object argument instead of multiple arguments. This serves two purposes :

1. It makes your code look less cluttered, since there is only one argument.
2. You don't have to worry about the order of arguments since arguments are now passed as named properties of the object.

For example :

const burger = new Burger({
    size : 14,
    pepperoni : true,
    cheeze : false,
    lettuce : true,
    tomato : true
})

instead of :

const burger = new Burger(14, true, false, true, true)

When to use?

When there could be several flavors of an object and to avoid the constructor telescoping. The key difference from the factory pattern is that factory pattern is to be used when the creation is a one step process while builder pattern is to be used when the creation is a multi step process.

🐑 原型模式 / Prototype

Real world example

Remember dolly? The sheep that was cloned! Lets not get into the details but the key point here is that it is all about cloning

In plain words

Create object based on an existing object through cloning.

Wikipedia says

The prototype pattern is a creational design pattern in software development. It is used when the type of objects to create is determined by a prototypical instance, which is cloned to produce new objects.

In short, it allows you to create a copy of an existing object and modify it to your needs, instead of going through the trouble of creating an object from scratch and setting it up.

Programmatic Example

In PHP, it can be easily done using clone

class Sheep
{
    protected $name;
    protected $category;

    public function __construct(string $name, string $category = 'Mountain Sheep')
    {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->category = $category;
    }

    public function setName(string $name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setCategory(string $category)
    {
        $this->category = $category;
    }

    public function getCategory()
    {
        return $this->category;
    }
}

Then it can be cloned like below

$original = new Sheep('Jolly');
echo $original->getName(); // Jolly
echo $original->getCategory(); // Mountain Sheep

// Clone and modify what is required
$cloned = clone $original;
$cloned->setName('Dolly');
echo $cloned->getName(); // Dolly
echo $cloned->getCategory(); // Mountain sheep

Also you could use the magic method __clone to modify the cloning behavior.

When to use?

When an object is required that is similar to existing object or when the creation would be expensive as compared to cloning.

💍 单例模式 / Singleton

Real world example

There can only be one president of a country at a time. The same president has to be brought to action, whenever duty calls. President here is singleton.

In plain words

Ensures that only one object of a particular class is ever created.

Wikipedia says

In software engineering, the singleton pattern is a software design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to one object. This is useful when exactly one object is needed to coordinate actions across the system.

Singleton pattern is actually considered an anti-pattern and overuse of it should be avoided. It is not necessarily bad and could have some valid use-cases but should be used with caution because it introduces a global state in your application and change to it in one place could affect in the other areas and it could become pretty difficult to debug. The other bad thing about them is it makes your code tightly coupled plus it mocking the singleton could be difficult.

Programmatic Example

In javascript, singletons can be implemented using the module pattern. Private variables and functions are hidden in a function closure, and public methods are selectively exposed.

const president = (function(){
    const presidentsPrivateInformation = 'Super private'

    const name = 'Turd Sandwich'

    const getName = () => name

    return {
        getName
    }
}())

Here, presidentsPrivateInformation and name are kept private. However, name can be accessed with the exposed president.getName method.

president.getName() // Outputs 'Turd Sandwich'
president.name // Outputs undefined
president.presidentsPrivateInformation // Outputs undefined

🔩 结构型设计模式 / Structural Design Patterns

In plain words

Structural patterns are mostly concerned with object composition or in other words how the entities can use each other. Or yet another explanation would be, they help in answering "How to build a software component?"

Wikipedia says

In software engineering, structural design patterns are design patterns that ease the design by identifying a simple way to realize relationships between entities.

• 适配器模式
• 桥接模式
• 组合模式
• 装饰器模式
• 门面模式
• 享元模式
• 代理模式

🔌 适配器模式 / Adapter

Real world example

Consider that you have some pictures in your memory card and you need to transfer them to your computer. In order to transfer them you need some kind of adapter that is compatible with your computer ports so that you can attach memory card to your computer. In this case card reader is an adapter. Another example would be the famous power adapter a three legged plug can't be connected to a two pronged outlet, it needs to use a power adapter that makes it compatible with the two pronged outlet. Yet another example would be a translator translating words spoken by one person to another

In plain words

Adapter pattern lets you wrap an otherwise incompatible object in an adapter to make it compatible with another class.

Wikipedia says

In software engineering, the adapter pattern is a software design pattern that 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.

Programmatic Example

Consider a game where there is a hunter and he hunts lions.

First we have an interface Lion that all types of lions have to implement

/*
Lion interface :

roar()
*/

class AfricanLion  {
    roar() {}
}

class AsianLion  {
    roar() {}
}

And hunter expects any implementation of Lion interface to hunt.

class Hunter {
    hunt(lion) {
        // ... some code before
        lion.roar()
        //... some code after
    }
}

Now let's say we have to add a WildDog in our game so that hunter can hunt that also. But we can't do that directly because dog has a different interface. To make it compatible for our hunter, we will have to create an adapter that is compatible

// This needs to be added to the game
class WildDog {
    bark() {
    }
}

// Adapter around wild dog to make it compatible with our game
class WildDogAdapter {

    constructor(dog) {
        this.dog = dog;
    }
    
    roar() {
        this.dog.bark();
    }
}

And now the WildDog can be used in our game using WildDogAdapter.

wildDog = new WildDog()
wildDogAdapter = new WildDogAdapter(wildDog)

hunter = new Hunter()
hunter.hunt(wildDogAdapter)

🚡 桥接模式 / Bridge

Real world example

Consider you have a website with different pages and you are supposed to allow the user to change the theme. What would you do? Create multiple copies of each of the pages for each of the themes or would you just create separate theme and load them based on the user's preferences? Bridge pattern allows you to do the second i.e.

In Plain Words

Bridge pattern is about preferring composition over inheritance. Implementation details are pushed from a hierarchy to another object with a separate hierarchy.

Wikipedia says

The bridge pattern is a design pattern used in software engineering that is meant to "decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary independently"

Programmatic Example

Translating our WebPage example from above. Here we have the WebPage hierarchy

/*
Webpage interface :

constructor(theme)
getContent()
*/

class About{ 
    constructor(theme) {
        this.theme = theme
    }
    
    getContent() {
        return "About page in " + this.theme.getColor()
    }
}

class Careers{
   constructor(theme) {
       this.theme = theme
   }
   
   getContent() {
       return "Careers page in " + this.theme.getColor()
   } 
}

And the separate theme hierarchy

/*
Theme interface :

getColor()
*/

class DarkTheme{
    getColor() {
        return 'Dark Black'
    }
}
class LightTheme{
    getColor() {
        return 'Off white'
    }
}
class AquaTheme{
    getColor() {
        return 'Light blue'
    }
}

And both the hierarchies

const darkTheme = new DarkTheme()

const about = new About(darkTheme)
const careers = new Careers(darkTheme)

console.log(about.getContent() )// "About page in Dark Black"
console.log(careers.getContent() )// "Careers page in Dark Black"

🌿 组合模式 / Composite

Real world example

Every organization is composed of employees. Each of the employees has same features i.e. has a salary, has some responsibilities, may or may not report to someone, may or may not have some subordinates etc.

In plain words

Composite pattern lets clients to treat the individual objects in a uniform manner.

Wikipedia says

In software engineering, the composite pattern is a partitioning design pattern. The composite pattern describes that a group of objects is to be treated in the same way as a single instance of an object. The intent of a composite is to "compose" objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Implementing the composite pattern lets clients treat individual objects and compositions uniformly.

Programmatic Example

Taking our employees example from above. Here we have different employee types

/*
Employee interface :

constructor(name, salary)
getName()
setSalary()
getSalary()
getRoles()
*/

class Developer {

    constructor(name, salary) {
        this.name = name
        this.salary = salary
    }

    getName() {
        return this.name
    }

    setSalary(salary) {
        this.salary = salary
    }

    getSalary() {
        return this.salary
    }

    getRoles() {
        return this.roles
    }

    develop() {
        /* */
    }
}

class Designer {

    constructor(name, salary) {
        this.name = name
        this.salary = salary
    }

    getName() {
        return this.name
    }

    setSalary(salary) {
        this.salary = salary
    }

    getSalary() {
        return this.salary
    }

    getRoles() {
        return this.roles
    }

    design() {
        /* */
    }
}

Then we have an organization which consists of several different types of employees

class Organization {
    constructor(){
        this.employees = []
    }

    addEmployee(employee) {
        this.employees.push(employee)
    }

    getNetSalaries() {
        let netSalary = 0

        this.employees.forEach(employee => {
            netSalary += employee.getSalary()
        })

        return netSalary
    }
}

And then it can be used as

// Prepare the employees
const john = new Developer('John Doe', 12000)
const jane = new Designer('Jane', 10000)

// Add them to organization
const organization = new Organization()
organization.addEmployee(john)
organization.addEmployee(jane)

console.log("Net salaries: " , organization.getNetSalaries()) // Net Salaries: 22000

☕ 装饰器模式 / Decorator

Real world example

Imagine you run a car service shop offering multiple services. Now how do you calculate the bill to be charged? You pick one service and dynamically keep adding to it the prices for the provided services till you get the final cost. Here each type of service is a decorator.

In plain words

Decorator pattern lets you dynamically change the behavior of an object at run time by wrapping them in an object of a decorator class.

Wikipedia says

In object-oriented programming, the decorator pattern is a design pattern that allows behavior to be added to an individual object, either statically or dynamically, without affecting the behavior of other objects from the same class. The decorator pattern is often useful for adhering to the Single Responsibility Principle, as it allows functionality to be divided between classes with unique areas of concern.

Programmatic Example

Lets take coffee for example. First of all we have a simple coffee implementing the coffee interface

/*
Coffee interface:
getCost()
getDescription()
*/

class SimpleCoffee{

    getCost() {
        return 10
    }

    getDescription() {
        return 'Simple coffee'
    }
}

We want to make the code extensible to allow options to modify it if required. Lets make some add-ons (decorators)

class MilkCoffee {


    constructor(coffee) {
        this.coffee = coffee
    }

    getCost() {
        return this.coffee.getCost() + 2
    }

    getDescription() {
        return this.coffee.getDescription() + ', milk'
    }
}

class WhipCoffee {

    constructor(coffee) {
        this.coffee = coffee
    }

    getCost() {
        return this.coffee.getCost() + 5
    }

    getDescription() {
        return this.coffee.getDescription() + ', whip'
    }
}

class VanillaCoffee {

    constructor(coffee) {
        this.coffee = coffee
    }

    getCost() {
        return this.coffee.getCost() + 3
    }

    getDescription() {
        return this.coffee.getDescription() + ', vanilla'
    }
}

Lets make a coffee now

let someCoffee

someCoffee = new SimpleCoffee()
console.log(someCoffee.getCost())// 10
console.log(someCoffee.getDescription())// Simple Coffee

someCoffee = new MilkCoffee(someCoffee)
console.log(someCoffee.getCost())// 12
console.log(someCoffee.getDescription())// Simple Coffee, milk

someCoffee = new WhipCoffee(someCoffee)
console.log(someCoffee.getCost())// 17
console.log(someCoffee.getDescription())// Simple Coffee, milk, whip

someCoffee = new VanillaCoffee(someCoffee)
console.log(someCoffee.getCost())// 20
console.log(someCoffee.getDescription())// Simple Coffee, milk, whip, vanilla

📦 门面模式 / Facade

译注：也常被译为外观模式。

Real world example

How do you turn on the computer? "Hit the power button" you say! That is what you believe because you are using a simple interface that computer provides on the outside, internally it has to do a lot of stuff to make it happen. This simple interface to the complex subsystem is a facade.

In plain words

Facade pattern provides a simplified interface to a complex subsystem.

Wikipedia says

A facade is an object that provides a simplified interface to a larger body of code, such as a class library.

Programmatic Example Taking our computer example from above. Here we have the computer class

class Computer {

    getElectricShock() {
        console.log('Ouch!')
    }

    makeSound() {
        console.log('Beep beep!')
    }

    showLoadingScreen() {
        console.log('Loading..')
    }

    bam() {
        console.log('Ready to be used!')
    }

    closeEverything() {
        console.log('Bup bup bup buzzzz!')
    }

    sooth() {
        console.log('Zzzzz')
    }

    pullCurrent() {
        console.log('Haaah!')
    }
}

Here we have the facade

class ComputerFacade
{
    constructor(computer) {
        this.computer = computer
    }

    turnOn() {
        this.computer.getElectricShock()
        this.computer.makeSound()
        this.computer.showLoadingScreen()
        this.computer.bam()
    }

    turnOff() {
        this.computer.closeEverything()
        this.computer.pullCurrent()
        this.computer.sooth()
    }
}

Now to use the facade

const computer = new ComputerFacade(new Computer())
computer.turnOn() // Ouch! Beep beep! Loading.. Ready to be used!
computer.turnOff() // Bup bup buzzz! Haah! Zzzzz

🍃 享元模式 / Flyweight

Real world example

Did you ever have fresh tea from some stall? They often make more than one cup that you demanded and save the rest for any other customer so to save the resources e.g. gas etc. Flyweight pattern is all about that i.e. sharing.

In plain words

It is used to minimize memory usage or computational expenses by sharing as much as possible with similar objects.

Wikipedia says

In computer programming, flyweight is a software design pattern. A flyweight is an object that minimizes memory use by sharing as much data as possible with other similar objects it is a way to use objects in large numbers when a simple repeated representation would use an unacceptable amount of memory.

Programmatic example Translating our tea example from above. First of all we have tea types and tea maker

// Anything that will be cached is flyweight. 
// Types of tea here will be flyweights.
class KarakTea {
}

// Acts as a factory and saves the tea
class TeaMaker {
    constructor(){
        this.availableTea = {}
    }

    make(preference) {
        this.availableTea[preference] = this.availableTea[preference] || (new KarakTea())
        return this.availableTea[preference]
    }
}

Then we have the TeaShop which takes orders and serves them

class TeaShop {
    constructor(teaMaker) {
        this.teaMaker = teaMaker
        this.orders = []
    }

    takeOrder(teaType, table) {
        this.orders[table] = this.teaMaker.make(teaType)
    }

    serve() {
        this.orders.forEach((order, index) => {
            console.log('Serving tea to table#' + index)
        })
    }
}

And it can be used as below

const teaMaker = new TeaMaker()
const shop = new TeaShop(teaMaker)

shop.takeOrder('less sugar', 1)
shop.takeOrder('more milk', 2)
shop.takeOrder('without sugar', 5)

shop.serve()
// Serving tea to table# 1
// Serving tea to table# 2
// Serving tea to table# 5

🎱 代理模式 / Proxy

Real world example

Have you ever used an access card to go through a door? There are multiple options to open that door i.e. it can be opened either using access card or by pressing a button that bypasses the security. The door's main functionality is to open but there is a proxy added on top of it to add some functionality. Let me better explain it using the code example below.

In plain words

Using the proxy pattern, a class represents the functionality of another class.

Wikipedia says

A proxy, in its most general form, is a class functioning as an interface to something else. A proxy is a wrapper or agent object that is being called by the client to access the real serving object behind the scenes. Use of the proxy can simply be forwarding to the real object, or can provide additional logic. In the proxy extra functionality can be provided, for example caching when operations on the real object are resource intensive, or checking preconditions before operations on the real object are invoked.

Programmatic Example Taking our security door example from above. Firstly we have the door interface and an implementation of door

/*
Door interface :

open()
close()
*/

class LabDoor {
    open() {
        console.log('Opening lab door')
    }

    close() {
        console.log('Closing the lab door')
    }
}

Then we have a proxy to secure any doors that we want

class Security {
    constructor(door) {
        this.door = door
    }

    open(password) {
        if (this.authenticate(password)) {
            this.door.open()
        } else {
            console.log('Big no! It ain\'t possible.')
        }
    }

    authenticate(password) {
        return password === 'ecr@t'
    }

    close() {
        this.door.close()
    }
}

And here is how it can be used

const door = new Security(new LabDoor())
door.open('invalid') // Big no! It ain't possible.

door.open('ecr@t') // Opening lab door
door.close() // Closing lab door

🤹 行为型设计模式 / Behavioral Design Patterns

In plain words

It is concerned with assignment of responsibilities between the objects. What makes them different from structural patterns is they don't just specify the structure but also outline the patterns for message passing/communication between them. Or in other words, they assist in answering "How to run a behavior in software component?"

Wikipedia says

In software engineering, behavioral design patterns are design patterns that identify common communication patterns between objects and realize these patterns. By doing so, these patterns increase flexibility in carrying out this communication.

🔗 责任链模式 / Chain of Responsibility

Real world example

For example, you have three payment methods (A, B and C) setup in your account each having a different amount in it. A has 100 USD, B has 300 USD and C having 1000 USD and the preference for payments is chosen as A then B then C. You try to purchase something that is worth 210 USD. Using Chain of Responsibility, first of all account A will be checked if it can make the purchase, if yes purchase will be made and the chain will be broken. If not, request will move forward to account B checking for amount if yes chain will be broken otherwise the request will keep forwarding till it finds the suitable handler. Here A, B and C are links of the chain and the whole phenomenon is Chain of Responsibility.

In plain words

It helps building a chain of objects. Request enters from one end and keeps going from object to object till it finds the suitable handler.

Wikipedia says

In object-oriented design, the chain-of-responsibility pattern is a design pattern consisting of a source of command objects and a series of processing objects. Each processing object contains logic that defines the types of command objects that it can handle the rest are passed to the next processing object in the chain.

Programmatic Example

Translating our account example above. First of all we have a base account having the logic for chaining the accounts together and some accounts

class Account {

    setNext(account) {
        this.successor = account
    }
    
    pay(amountToPay) {
        if (this.canPay(amountToPay)) {
            console.log(`Paid ${amountToPay} using ${this.name}`)
        } else if (this.successor) {
            console.log(`Cannot pay using ${this.name}. Proceeding...`)
            this.successor.pay(amountToPay)
        } else {
            console.log('None of the accounts have enough balance')
        }
    }
    
    canPay(amount) {
        return this.balance >= amount
    }
}

class Bank extends Account {
    constructor(balance) {
        super()
        this.name = 'bank'
        this.balance = balance
    }
}

class Paypal extends Account {
    constructor(balance) {
        super()        
        this.name = 'Paypal'
        this.balance = balance
    }
}

class Bitcoin extends Account {
    constructor(balance) {
        super()        
        this.name = 'bitcoin'
        this.balance = balance
    }
}

Now let's prepare the chain using the links defined above (i.e. Bank, Paypal, Bitcoin)

// Let's prepare a chain like below
//      bank.paypal.bitcoin
//
// First priority bank
//      If bank can't pay then paypal
//      If paypal can't pay then bit coin

const bank = new Bank(100)          // Bank with balance 100
const paypal = new Paypal(200)      // Paypal with balance 200
const bitcoin = new Bitcoin(300)    // Bitcoin with balance 300

bank.setNext(paypal)
paypal.setNext(bitcoin)

// Let's try to pay using the first priority i.e. bank
bank.pay(259)

// Output will be
// ==============
// Cannot pay using bank. Proceeding ..
// Cannot pay using paypal. Proceeding ..: 
// Paid 259 using Bitcoin!

👮 命令模式 / Command

Real world example

A generic example would be you ordering a food at restaurant. You (i.e. Client) ask the waiter (i.e. Invoker) to bring some food (i.e. Command) and waiter simply forwards the request to Chef (i.e. Receiver) who has the knowledge of what and how to cook. Another example would be you (i.e. Client) switching on (i.e. Command) the television (i.e. Receiver) using a remote control (Invoker).

In plain words

Allows you to encapsulate actions in objects. The key idea behind this pattern is to provide the means to decouple client from receiver.

Wikipedia says

In object-oriented programming, the command pattern is a behavioral design pattern in which an object is used to encapsulate all information needed to perform an action or trigger an event at a later time. This information includes the method name, the object that owns the method and values for the method parameters.

Programmatic Example

First of all we have the receiver that has the implementation of every action that could be performed

// Receiver
class Bulb {
    turnOn() {
        console.log('Bulb has been lit')
    }
    
    turnOff() {
        console.log('Darkness!')
    }
}

then we have an interface that each of the commands are going to implement and then we have a set of commands

/*
Command interface :

    execute()
    undo()
    redo()
*/

// Command
class TurnOnCommand {
    constructor(bulb) {
        this.bulb = bulb
    }
    
    execute() {
        this.bulb.turnOn()
    }
    
    undo() {
        this.bulb.turnOff()
    }
    
    redo() {
        this.execute()
    }
}

class TurnOffCommand {
    constructor(bulb) {
        this.bulb = bulb
    }
    
    execute() {
        this.bulb.turnOff()
    }
    
    undo() {
        this.bulb.turnOn()
    }
    
    redo() {
        this.execute()
    }
}

Then we have an Invoker with whom the client will interact to process any commands

// Invoker
class RemoteControl {
    submit(command) {
        command.execute()
    }
}

Finally let's see how we can use it in our client

const bulb = new Bulb()

const turnOn = new TurnOnCommand(bulb)
const turnOff = new TurnOffCommand(bulb)

const remote = new RemoteControl()
remote.submit(turnOn) // Bulb has been lit!
remote.submit(turnOff) // Darkness!

Command pattern can also be used to implement a transaction based system. Where you keep maintaining the history of commands as soon as you execute them. If the final command is successfully executed, all good otherwise just iterate through the history and keep executing the undo on all the executed commands.

➿ 迭代器模式 / Iterator

Real world example

An old radio set will be a good example of iterator, where user could start at some channel and then use next or previous buttons to go through the respective channels. Or take an example of MP3 player or a TV set where you could press the next and previous buttons to go through the consecutive channels or in other words they all provide an interface to iterate through the respective channels, songs or radio stations.

In plain words

It presents a way to access the elements of an object without exposing the underlying presentation.

Wikipedia says

In object-oriented programming, the iterator pattern is a design pattern in which an iterator is used to traverse a container and access the container's elements. The iterator pattern decouples algorithms from containers in some cases, algorithms are necessarily container-specific and thus cannot be decoupled.

Programmatic example Translating our radio stations example from above. First of all we have RadioStation

class RadioStation {
    constructor(frequency) {
        this.frequency = frequency    
    }
    
    getFrequency() {
        return this.frequency
    }
}

Then we have our iterator

class StationList {
    constructor(){
        this.stations = []
    }

    addStation(station) {
        this.stations.push(station)
    }
    
    removeStation(toRemove) {
        const toRemoveFrequency = toRemove.getFrequency()
        this.stations = this.stations.filter(station => {
            return station.getFrequency() !== toRemoveFrequency
        })
    }
}

And then it can be used as

const stationList = new StationList()

stationList.addStation(new RadioStation(89))
stationList.addStation(new RadioStation(101))
stationList.addStation(new RadioStation(102))
stationList.addStation(new RadioStation(103.2))

stationList.stations.forEach(station => console.log(station.getFrequency()))

stationList.removeStation(new RadioStation(89)) // Will remove station 89

👽 中介者模式 / Mediator

Real world example

A general example would be when you talk to someone on your mobile phone, there is a network provider sitting between you and them and your conversation goes through it instead of being directly sent. In this case network provider is mediator.

In plain words

Mediator pattern adds a third party object (called mediator) to control the interaction between two objects (called colleagues). It helps reduce the coupling between the classes communicating with each other. Because now they don't need to have the knowledge of each other's implementation.

Wikipedia says

In software engineering, the mediator pattern defines an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact. This pattern is considered to be a behavioral pattern due to the way it can alter the program's running behavior.

Programmatic Example

Here is the simplest example of a chat room (i.e. mediator) with users (i.e. colleagues) sending messages to each other.

First of all, we have the mediator i.e. the chat room

// Mediator
class ChatRoom {
    showMessage(user, message) {
        const time = new Date()
        const sender = user.getName()

        console.log(time + '[' + sender + ']:' + message)
    }
}

Then we have our users i.e. colleagues

class User {
    constructor(name, chatMediator) {
        this.name = name
        this.chatMediator = chatMediator
    }
    
    getName() {
        return this.name
    }
    
    send(message) {
        this.chatMediator.showMessage(this, message)
    }
}

And the usage

const mediator = new ChatRoom()

const john = new User('John Doe', mediator)
const jane = new User('Jane Doe', mediator)

john.send('Hi there!')
jane.send('Hey!')

// Output will be
// Feb 14, 10:58 [John]: Hi there!
// Feb 14, 10:58 [Jane]: Hey!

💾 备忘录模式 / Memento

Real world example

Take the example of calculator (i.e. originator), where whenever you perform some calculation the last calculation is saved in memory (i.e. memento) so that you can get back to it and maybe get it restored using some action buttons (i.e. caretaker).

In plain words

Memento pattern is about capturing and storing the current state of an object in a manner that it can be restored later on in a smooth manner.

Wikipedia says

The memento pattern is a software design pattern that provides the ability to restore an object to its previous state (undo via rollback).

Usually useful when you need to provide some sort of undo functionality.

Programmatic Example

Lets take an example of text editor which keeps saving the state from time to time and that you can restore if you want.

First of all we have our memento object that will be able to hold the editor state

class EditorMemento {
    constructor(content) {
        this._content = content
    }
    
    getContent() {
        return this._content
    }
}

Then we have our editor i.e. originator that is going to use memento object

class Editor {
    constructor(){
        this._content = ''
    }
    
    type(words) {
        this._content = this._content + ' ' + words
    }
    
    getContent() {
        return this._content
    }
    
    save() {
        return new EditorMemento(this._content)
    }
    
    restore(memento) {
        this._content = memento.getContent()
    }
}

And then it can be used as

const editor = new Editor()

// Type some stuff
editor.type('This is the first sentence.')
editor.type('This is second.')

// Save the state to restore to : This is the first sentence. This is second.
const saved = editor.save()

// Type some more
editor.type('And this is third.')

// Output: Content before Saving
console.log(editor.getContent())// This is the first sentence. This is second. And this is third.

// Restoring to last saved state
editor.restore(saved)

console.log(editor.getContent()) // This is the first sentence. This is second.

😎 观察者模式 / Observer

(Otherwise known as "pub-sub")

Real world example

A good example would be the job seekers where they subscribe to some job posting site and they are notified whenever there is a matching job opportunity.

In plain words

Defines a dependency between objects so that whenever an object changes its state, all its dependents are notified.

Wikipedia says

The observer pattern is a software design pattern in which an object, called the subject, maintains a list of its dependents, called observers, and notifies them automatically of any state changes, usually by calling one of their methods.

Programmatic example

Translating our example from above. First of all we have job seekers that need to be notified for a job posting

const JobPost = title => ({
    title: title
})

class JobSeeker {
    constructor(name) {
        this._name = name
    }

    notify(jobPost) {
        console.log(this._name, 'has been notified of a new posting :', jobPost.title)
    }
}

Then we have our job postings to which the job seekers will subscribe

class JobBoard {
    constructor() {
        this._subscribers = []
    }

    subscribe(jobSeeker) {
        this._subscribers.push(jobSeeker)
    }

    addJob(jobPosting) {
        this._subscribers.forEach(subscriber => {
            subscriber.notify(jobPosting)
        })
    }
}

Then it can be used as

// Create subscribers
const jonDoe = new JobSeeker('John Doe')
const janeDoe = new JobSeeker('Jane Doe')
const kaneDoe = new JobSeeker('Kane Doe')

// Create publisher and attach subscribers
const jobBoard = new JobBoard()
jobBoard.subscribe(jonDoe)
jobBoard.subscribe(janeDoe)

// Add a new job and see if subscribers get notified
jobBoard.addJob(JobPost('Software Engineer'))

// Output
// John Doe has been notified of a new posting : Software Engineer
// Jane Doe has been notified of a new posting : Software Engineer

🏃 访问者模式 / Visitor

Real world example

Consider someone visiting Dubai. They just need a way (i.e. visa) to enter Dubai. After arrival, they can come and visit any place in Dubai on their own without having to ask for permission or to do some leg work in order to visit any place here just let them know of a place and they can visit it. Visitor pattern let's you do just that, it helps you add places to visit so that they can visit as much as they can without having to do any legwork.

In plain words

Visitor pattern let's you add further operations to objects without having to modify them.

Wikipedia says

In object-oriented programming and software engineering, the visitor design pattern is a way of separating an algorithm from an object structure on which it operates. A practical result of this separation is the ability to add new operations to existing object structures without modifying those structures. It is one way to follow the open/closed principle.

Programmatic example

Let's take an example of a zoo simulation where we have several different kinds of animals and we have to make them Sound. Let's translate this using visitor pattern

We have our implementations for the animals

class Monkey {
    shout() {
        console.log('Ooh oo aa aa!')
    }

    accept(operation) {
        operation.visitMonkey(this)
    }
}

class Lion {
    roar() {
        console.log('Roaaar!')
    }
    
    accept(operation) {
        operation.visitLion(this)
    }
}

class Dolphin {
    speak() {
        console.log('Tuut tuttu tuutt!')
    }
    
    accept(operation) {
        operation.visitDolphin(this)
    }
}

Let's implement our visitor

const speak = {
    visitMonkey(monkey){
        monkey.shout()
    },
    visitLion(lion){
        lion.roar()
    },
    visitDolphin(dolphin){
        dolphin.speak()
    }
}

And then it can be used as

const monkey = new Monkey()
const lion = new Lion()
const dolphin = new Dolphin()

monkey.accept(speak)    // Ooh oo aa aa!    
lion.accept(speak)      // Roaaar!
dolphin.accept(speak)   // Tuut tutt tuutt!

We could have done this simply by having a inheritance hierarchy for the animals but then we would have to modify the animals whenever we would have to add new actions to animals. But now we will not have to change them. For example, let's say we are asked to add the jump behavior to the animals, we can simply add that by creating a new visitor i.e.

const jump = {
    visitMonkey(monkey) {
        console.log('Jumped 20 feet high! on to the tree!')
    },
    visitLion(lion) {
        console.log('Jumped 7 feet! Back on the ground!')
    },
    visitDolphin(dolphin) {
        console.log('Walked on water a little and disappeared')
    }
}

And for the usage

monkey.accept(speak)   // Ooh oo aa aa!
monkey.accept(jump)    // Jumped 20 feet high! on to the tree!

lion.accept(speak)     // Roaaar!
lion.accept(jump)      // Jumped 7 feet! Back on the ground! 

dolphin.accept(speak)  // Tuut tutt tuutt! 
dolphin.accept(jump)   // Walked on water a little and disappeared

💡 策略模式 / Strategy

Real world example

Consider the example of sorting, we implemented bubble sort but the data started to grow and bubble sort started getting very slow. In order to tackle this we implemented Quick sort. But now although the quick sort algorithm was doing better for large datasets, it was very slow for smaller datasets. In order to handle this we implemented a strategy where for small datasets, bubble sort will be used and for larger, quick sort.

In plain words

Strategy pattern allows you to switch the algorithm or strategy based upon the situation.

Wikipedia says

In computer programming, the strategy pattern (also known as the policy pattern) is a behavioural software design pattern that enables an algorithm's behavior to be selected at runtime.

Programmatic example

Translating our example from above, we can easily implement this strategy in javascript using its feature of first class functions.

const bubbleSort = dataset => {
    console.log('Sorting with bubble sort')
    // ...
    // ...
    return dataset
}

const quickSort = dataset => {
    console.log('Sorting with quick sort')
    // ...
    // ...
    return dataset
}

And then we have our client that is going to use any strategy

const sorter = dataset => {
    if(dataset.length > 5){
        return quickSort
    } else {
        return bubbleSort
    }
}

And it can be used as

const longDataSet = [1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 8]
const shortDataSet = [1, 5, 4]

const sorter1 = sorter(longDataSet)
const sorter2 = sorter(shortDataSet)

sorter1(longDataSet) // Output : Sorting with quick sort
sorter2(shortDataSet) // Output : Sorting with bubble sort

💢 状态模式 / State

Real world example

Imagine you are using some drawing application, you choose the paint brush to draw. Now the brush changes it's behavior based on the selected color i.e. if you have chosen red color it will draw in red, if blue then it will be in blue etc.

In plain words

It lets you change the behavior of a class when the state changes.

Wikipedia says

The state pattern is a behavioral software design pattern that implements a state machine in an object-oriented way. With the state pattern, a state machine is implemented by implementing each individual state as a derived class of the state pattern interface, and implementing state transitions by invoking methods defined by the pattern's superclass. The state pattern can be interpreted as a strategy pattern which is able to switch the current strategy through invocations of methods defined in the pattern's interface

Programmatic example

Let's take an example of text editor, it let's you change the state of text that is typed i.e. if you have selected bold, it starts writing in bold, if italic then in italics etc.

First of all we have our transformation functions

const upperCase = inputString => inputString.toUpperCase()
const lowerCase = inputString => inputString.toLowerCase()
const defaultTransform = inputString => inputString

Then we have our editor

class TextEditor {
    constructor(transform) {
        this._transform = transform
    }
    
    setTransform(transform) {
        this._transform = transform
    }
    
    type(words) {
        console.log(this._transform(words))
    }
}

And then it can be used as

const editor = new TextEditor(defaultTransform)

editor.type('First line')

editor.setTransform(upperCase)

editor.type('Second line')
editor.type('Third line')

editor.setTransform(lowerCase)

editor.type('Fourth line')
editor.type('Fifth line')

// Output:
// First line
// SECOND LINE
// THIRD LINE
// fourth line
// fifth line

📒 模板方法模式 / Template Method

Real world example

Suppose we are getting some house built. The steps for building might look like

• Prepare the base of house
• Build the walls
• Add roof
• Add other floors

The order of these steps could never be changed i.e. you can't build the roof before building the walls etc but each of the steps could be modified for example walls can be made of wood or polyester or stone.

In plain words

Template method defines the skeleton of how certain algorithm could be performed but defers the implementation of those steps to the children classes.

Wikipedia says

In software engineering, the template method pattern is a behavioral design pattern that defines the program skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses. It lets one redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm's structure.

Programmatic Example

Imagine we have a build tool that helps us test, lint, build, generate build reports (i.e. code coverage reports, linting report etc) and deploy our app on the test server.

First of all we have our base class that specifies the skeleton for the build algorithm

class Builder {
    // Template method 
    build() {
        this.test()
        this.lint()
        this.assemble()
        this.deploy()
    }
}

Then we can have our implementations

class AndroidBuilder extends Builder {
    test() {
        console.log('Running android tests')
    }
    
    lint() {
        console.log('Linting the android code')
    }
    
    assemble() {
        console.log('Assembling the android build')
    }
    
    deploy() {
        console.log('Deploying android build to server')
    }
}

class IosBuilder extends Builder {
    test() {
        console.log('Running ios tests')
    }
    
    lint() {
        console.log('Linting the ios code')
    }
    
    assemble() {
        console.log('Assembling the ios build')
    }
    
    deploy() {
        console.log('Deploying ios build to server')
    }
}

And then it can be used as

const androidBuilder = new AndroidBuilder()
androidBuilder.build()

// Output:
// Running android tests
// Linting the android code
// Assembling the android build
// Deploying android build to server

const iosBuilder = new IosBuilder()
iosBuilder.build()

// Output:
// Running ios tests
// Linting the ios code
// Assembling the ios build
// Deploying ios build to server
