The document discusses design patterns in Ruby, highlighting their purpose and usage. It categorizes patterns into creational, structural, and behavioral, providing examples such as Builder, Factory, Singleton, Adapter, Decorator, Proxy, Command, Strategy, and Observer. The talk emphasizes the dynamic nature of Ruby and the benefits of using these patterns for efficient coding practices.
Design Patterns in Ruby
- 1. Design Patterns in Ruby By Anup Biswal
- 2. Agenda ● Goal of the talk ● Design Patterns WHAT, WHY ● Dynamic nature of Ruby ● Various patterns with examples and use cases
- 3. WHAT General reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem
- 5. Ruby is dynamic What do you mean?
- 6. Quiz Some of the patterns we always use?
- 7. HOW ● Creational ● Structural ● Behavioural
- 8. Creational ● Builder ● Factory ● Singleton
- 9. Builder The purpose of the Builder Pattern is to create an abstract blueprint describing the steps of creating an object, and then allow many different implementations to actually carry out that process as long as they provide the necessary steps
- 10. Factory The Factory Method Pattern is used for putting a layer of abstraction on top of object creation so that directly working with its constructor is no longer necessary. This process can lead to more expressive ways of building new objects, and can also allow for the creation of new objects without explicitly referencing their class.
- 11. Singleton The Singleton pattern is used in situations where a single instance of a class is all you need. Singleton objects are meant provide an effective way of organizing global state and behavior, such as configuration data, logging support, or other similar needs
- 12. Structural ● Adapter ● Decorator ● Proxy
- 13. Decorator While there is a more clear distinction between a Decorator and a Proxy in static languages, in Ruby the two concepts almost merge, except that a Decorator is used almost exclusively for the purpose of adding / extending behavior of a target object, and a Proxy is a more general concept
- 14. Adapter An Adapter is used when you want to provide a unified interface to a number of different objects that implement similar functionality
- 15. Proxy A Proxy is any object that acts as a drop-in replacement object that does a bit of work and then delegates to some other underlying object
- 16. Behavioural ● Command ● Strategy ● Observer
- 17. Command The command pattern is a behavior design pattern used to store the information necessary to call methods at a future time.
- 18. Strategy The basic idea is to delegate tasks to encapsulated algorithms which are interchangable at runtime.
- 19. Observer The observer pattern is for event driven programming. 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.
