Hi!

During the past years, this topic was a must for me, I studied most of in theory and maybe in some point forget the reason for it, currently most of the patterns that I use and implement daily were research and share between my working colleagues, friends, and people I met during my studies or at work.
In this repo i will try to summarize some of this knowledge

*Gang of four*

Creational: The design patterns that deal with the creation of an object.
Structural: The design patterns in this category deals with the class structure such as Inheritance and Composition.
Behavioral: This type of design patterns provide solution for the better interaction between objects, how to provide lose coupling, and flexibility to extend easily in future.

Creational Design Patterns
There are 5 design patterns in the creational design patterns category.

Pattern Name Description
Singleton The singleton pattern restricts the initialization of a class to ensure that only one instance of the class can be created.
Factory The factory pattern takes out the responsibility of instantiating a object from the class to a Factory class.
Abstract Factory Allows us to create a Factory for factory classes.
Builder Creating an object step by step and a method to finally get the object instance.
Prototype Creating a new object instance from another similar instance and then modify according to our requirements.
Structural Design Patterns
There are 7 structural design patterns defined in the Gangs of Four design patterns book.

Pattern Name Description
Adapter Provides an interface between two unrelated entities so that they can work together.

Composite Used when we have to implement a part-whole hierarchy. For example, a diagram made of other pieces such as circle, square, triangle, etc.

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

Flyweight Caching and reusing object instances, used with immutable objects. For example, string pool.

Facade Creating a wrapper interfaces on top of existing interfaces to help client applications.

Bridge The bridge design pattern is used to decouple the interfaces from implementation and hiding the implementation details from the client program.

Decorator The decorator design pattern is used to modify the functionality of an object at runtime

*Behavioral Design Patterns*

There are 11 behavioral design patterns defined in the GoF design patterns.

Pattern Name Description
Template Method used to create a template method stub and defer some of the steps of implementation to the subclasses.

Mediator used to provide a centralized communication medium between different objects in a system.

Chain of Responsibility used to achieve loose coupling in software design where a request from the client is passed to a chain of objects to process them.

Observer useful when you are interested in the state of an object and want to get notified whenever there is any change.

Strategy Strategy pattern is used when we have multiple algorithm for a specific task and client decides the actual implementation to be used at runtime.

Command Command Pattern is used to implement lose coupling in a request-response model.

State State design pattern is used when an Object change it’s behavior based on it’s internal state.

Visitor Visitor pattern is used when we have to perform an operation on a group of similar kind of Objects.

Interpreter defines a grammatical representation for a language and provides an interpreter to deal with this grammar.

Iterator used to provide a standard way to traverse through a group of Objects.

Memento The memento design pattern is used when we want to save the state of an object so that we can restore later on.
