Creational

Creational types of patterns used to create objects in a systematic way. Supports flexibility and different subtypes of objects from the same class at runtime. Here polymorphism is often used.

Factory method

Factory method defines an interface for creating an object but defers object instantiation to run time.

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod


class Shape(ABC):
    """Defines a shape interface."""

    @abstractmethod
    def draw(self) -> str:
        """Draws a shape."""
        pass


class ShapeError(Exception):
    """Represents shape error message."""

    pass


class Circle(Shape):
    """A shape subclass."""

    def draw(self) -> str:
        """Draws a circle."""
        return "Circle.draw"


class Square(Shape):
    """A shape subclass."""

    def draw(self) -> str:
        """Draws a square."""
        return "Square.draw"


class ShapeFactory:
    """A shape factory."""

    def __init__(self, shape: str) -> None:
        self._shape: str = shape

    def shape(self) -> Shape:
        """Returns a shape."""
        if self._shape == "circle":
            return Circle()
        if self._shape == "square":
            return Square()
        raise ShapeError(f'Could not find "{self._shape}" shape!')


# circle shape
factory: ShapeFactory = ShapeFactory(shape="circle")
circle: Shape = factory.shape()
print(circle.__class__.__name__)
print(circle.draw())

# square shape
factory: ShapeFactory = ShapeFactory(shape="square")
square: Shape = factory.shape()
print(square.__class__.__name__)
print(square.draw())

Factory encapsulates objects creation. Factory is an object that is specialized in creation of other objects.

• Benefits:
  • Useful when you are not sure what kind of object you will be needed eventually.
  • Application need to decide what class it has to use.
• Exercise:
  • Pet shop is selling dogs but now it sells cats too.

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod


class Pet(ABC):
    """Abstraction of a pet."""

    @abstractmethod
    def speak(self) -> str:
        """Interface for a pet to speak."""
        pass


class Dog(Pet):
    """A simple dog class."""

    def __init__(self, name: str) -> None:
        self._dog_name: str = name

    def speak(self) -> str:
        return f"{self._dog_name} says Woof!"


class Cat(Pet):
    """A simple cat class."""

    def __init__(self, name: str) -> None:
        self._cat_name: str = name

    def speak(self) -> str:
        return f"{self._cat_name} says Meow!"


def get_pet(pet: str) -> Pet:
    """The factory method."""
    return {"dog": Dog("Hope"), "cat": Cat("Faith")}[pet]


# returns Cat class object
get_pet("cat")

Abstract factory

In abstract factory a client expects to receive family related objects. But don't have to know which family it is until run time. Abstract factory is related to factory method and concrete product are singletons.

• Implementation idea:
  • Abstract factory: pet factory
  • Concrete factory: dog factory and cat factory
  • Abstract product
  • Concrete product: dog and dog food, cat and cat food
• Exercise:
  • We have a Pet factory (which includes Dog and Cat factory and both factories produced related products such as Dog and Cat food and we have a PetFactory which gets Cat or Dog factory).

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

Singleton

Python has global variables and modules which are singletons. Singleton allows only one object to be instantiated from a class template. Useful if you want to share cached information to multiple objects.

Classic singleton

from typing import Any, Dict


class SingletonMeta(type):
    """Singleton metaclass implementation."""

    def __init__(cls, cls_name: str, bases: tuple, namespace: dict):
        cls.__instance = None
        super().__init__(cls_name, bases, namespace)

    def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        if cls.__instance is None:
            cls.__instance = super().__call__(*args, **kwargs)
            return cls.__instance
        return cls.__instance


class Singleton:
    """Makes all instances as the same object."""

    def __new__(cls) -> "Singleton":
        if not hasattr(cls, "_instance"):
            cls._instance = super().__new__(cls)
        return cls._instance


def singleton(cls: Any) -> Any:
    """A singleton decorator."""
    instances: Dict[Any, Any] = {}

    def get_instance() -> Any:
        if cls not in instances:
            instances[cls] = cls()
        return instances[cls]

    return get_instance


@singleton
class Bar:
    """A fancy object."""

    pass


singleton_one: Singleton = Singleton()
singleton_two: Singleton = Singleton()

print(id(singleton_one))
print(id(singleton_two))
print(singleton_one is singleton_two)

bar_one: Bar = Bar()
bar_two: Bar = Bar()
print(id(bar_one))
print(id(bar_two))
print(bar_one is bar_two)

Borg singleton

from typing import Dict, Any


class Borg:
    """Borg class making class attributes global.
    Safe the same state of all instances but instances are all different."""

    _shared_state: Dict[Any, Any] = {}

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.__dict__ = self._shared_state


class BorgSingleton(Borg):
    """This class shares all its attribute among its instances. Store the same state."""

    def __init__(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None:
        Borg.__init__(self)
        self._shared_state.update(kwargs)

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        return str(self._shared_state)


# Create a singleton object and add out first acronym
x: Borg = BorgSingleton(HTTP="Hyper Text Transfer Protocol")
print(x)

# Create another singleton which will add to the existent dict attribute
y: Borg = BorgSingleton(SNMP="Simple Network Management Protocol")
print(y)

Builder

Builder reduces complexity of building objects.

• Participants:
  • Director
  • Abstract Builder: interfaces
  • Concrete Builder: implements the interfaces
  • Product: object being built
• Exercise:
  • Build a car object

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod


class Machine(ABC):
    """Abstract machine interface."""

    @abstractmethod
    def summary(self) -> str:
        pass


class Builder(ABC):
    """Abstract builder interface."""

    @abstractmethod
    def add_model(self) -> None:
        pass

    @abstractmethod
    def add_tires(self) -> None:
        pass

    @abstractmethod
    def add_engine(self) -> None:
        pass

    @abstractmethod
    def machine(self) -> Machine:
        pass


class Car(Machine):
    """A car product."""

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.model: str = None
        self.tires: str = None
        self.engine: str = None

    def summary(self) -> str:
        return "Car details: {} | {} | {}".format(
            self.model, self.tires, self.engine
        )


class SkyLarkBuilder(Builder):
    """Provides parts and tools to work on the car parts."""

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self._car: Machine = Car()

    def add_model(self) -> None:
        self._car.model = "SkyBuilder model"

    def add_tires(self) -> None:
        self._car.tires = "Motosport tires"

    def add_engine(self) -> None:
        self._car.engine = "GM Motors engine"

    def machine(self) -> Machine:
        return self._car


class Director:
    """A director. Responsible for `Car` assembling."""

    def __init__(self, builder_: Builder) -> None:
        self._builder: Builder = builder_

    def construct_machine(self) -> None:
        self._builder.add_model()
        self._builder.add_tires()
        self._builder.add_engine()

    def release_machine(self) -> Machine:
        return self._builder.machine()


builder: Builder = SkyLarkBuilder()
director: Director = Director(builder)
director.construct_machine()
car: Machine = director.release_machine()
print(car.summary())

Prototype

Prototype patterns are related to abstract factory pattern.

• Ideas:
  • Clone objects according to prototypical instance.
  • Creating many identical objects individually.
  • Clone individual objects
  • Create a prototypical instance first
• Exercise:
  • Use the same car if car has same color or options, you can clone objects instead of creating individual objects

import copy
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from typing import Dict, Any


class Machine(ABC):
    """Abstract machine interface."""

    @abstractmethod
    def summary(self) -> str:
        pass


class Car(Machine):
    """A car object."""

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self._name: str = "Skylar"
        self._color: str = "Red"
        self._options: str = "Ex"

    def summary(self) -> str:
        return "Car details: {} | {} | {}".format(
            self._name, self._color, self._options
        )


class Prototype:
    """A prototype object."""

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self._elements: Dict[Any, Any] = {}

    def register_object(self, name: str, machine: Machine) -> None:
        self._elements[name] = machine

    def unregister_object(self, name: str) -> None:
        del self._elements[name]

    def clone(self, name: str, **attr: Any) -> Car:
        obj: Any = copy.deepcopy(self._elements[name])
        obj.__dict__.update(attr)
        return obj


# prototypical car object to be cloned
primary_car: Machine = Car()
print(primary_car.summary())
prototype: Prototype = Prototype()
prototype.register_object("skylark", primary_car)

# clone a car object
cloned_car: Machine = prototype.clone("skylark")
print(cloned_car.summary())

Structural

Structural type of patterns establish useful relationships between software components. Here inheritance is often used.

• Ideas:
  • Route maps the user request to a Controller which...
  • Uses the Model to retrieve all of the necessary data, organizes it and send it off to the...
  • View, which then uses that data to render the web page

MVC

MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a UI pattern intended to separate internal representation of data from ways it is presented to/from the user.

Decorator

Decorator type of patterns add new feature to an existing object. Supports dynamic changes.

• Exercise:
  • Add additional message to an existing function

Decorator function

from functools import wraps
from typing import Callable


def make_blink(function: Callable[[str], str]) -> Callable[..., str]:
    """Defines the decorator function."""

    @wraps(function)
    def decorator(*args, **kwargs) -> str:
        result: str = function(*args, **kwargs)
        return f"<blink>{result}</blink>"

    return decorator


@make_blink
def hello_world(name: str) -> str:
    """Original function."""
    return f'Hello World said "{name}"!'


print(hello_world(name="James"))
print(hello_world.__name__)
print(hello_world.__doc__)

Decorator class

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod


class Number(ABC):
    """Abstraction of a number object."""

    @abstractmethod
    def value(self) -> int:
        pass


class Integer(Number):
    """A subclass of a number."""

Proxy

Proxy patterns postpones object creation unless it is necessary. Object is too expensive (resource intensive) to create that's why we have to create it once it is needed.

• Participants:
  • Producer
  • Artist
  • Guest
• Clients interact with a Proxy. Proxy is responsible for creating the resource intensive objects

import time


class Producer:
    """Defines the resource-intensive object to instantiate."""

    def produce(self) -> None:
        print("Producer is working hard!")

    def meet(self) -> None:
        print("Producer has time to meet you now")


class Proxy:
    """Defines the less resource-intensive object to instantiate as a middleman."""

    def __init__(self):
        self._occupied: bool = False

    @property
    def occupied(self) -> bool:
        return self._occupied

    @occupied.setter
    def occupied(self, state: bool) -> None:
        if not isinstance(state, bool):
            raise ValueError(f'"{state}" value should be a boolean data type!')
        self._occupied = state

    def produce(self) -> None:
        print("Artist checking if producer is available ...")
        if not self.occupied:
            producer: Producer = Producer()
            time.sleep(2)
            producer.meet()
        else:
            time.sleep(2)
            print("Producer is busy!")


proxy: Proxy = Proxy()
proxy.produce()
proxy.occupied = True
proxy.produce()

Adapter

Adapter patterns convert interface of a class into another one that client is expecting.

• Exercise:
  • Korean language: speak_korean()

Behavioral

Behavioral patterns provide best practices of objects interaction. Methods and signatures are often used.

Observer

Observer pattern establishes one to many relationship between subject and multiple observers. Singleton is related to observer design pattern.

• Exercise:
  • Subjects need to be monitored
  • Observers need to be notified
• Participants:
  • Subject: abstract class
    • Attach
    • Detach
    • Notify
  • Concrete Subjects

Composite pattern is related to iterator pattern.

• Exercise:
  • Our custom iterator based on a build-in python iterator: zip()
  • Will iterate over a certain point based on client input

Strategy

Strategy patterns used to dynamically change the behavior of an object. Add dynamically objects with types module.

• Participants:
  • Abstract strategy class with default set of behaviors

    @name.setter
    def name(self, name: str) -> None:
        if not isinstance(name, str):
            raise ValueError(f'"{name}" value should be a string data type!')
        self._name = name
