# Design Patterns in Swift

This repository is part of the [Refactoring.Guru](https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns) project.

It contains Swift examples for all classic GoF design patterns.

There are two examples for each of the patterns:

- **Conceptual** examples illustrate the internal structure of a pattern, explained with detailed comments.

- **RealWorld** examples illustrate how patterns can be used in real-world Swift applications.

## Requirements

For the best experience, we recommend working with examples with [Swift 5](https://github.com/apple/swift) and [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) IDE.

## Usage

For the sake of simplicity, we tried to limit the scope of these examples to the code, related to the actual patterns. That's why didn't implement full-blown Swift apps, accompanied with Run targets. Instead, our examples are packaged as unit tests, where each Unit Test target executes a specific example of a pattern.

To run an example, browse it in the project directory, select the Unit Test scheme and launch the example.

## FAQ

#### 1. What is the _Client Code_?

_Client_ means _client of classes, defined as part of a pattern_, which is merely a caller of the given methods or a user of the given classes. In other words, it's the part of your application's code that uses the pattern's classes.

#### 2. I don't understand the roles you're referring to in RealWorld examples.

Take a look at the structural example first. There you'll find detailed descriptions of each class in a pattern, its role, and connection to other classes.
