Design Pattern Slide 04

The document discusses the Decorator design pattern, a structural design pattern that allows dynamic addition of functionality to objects without altering existing structures. It outlines the procedure for implementing the pattern, which includes creating interfaces and concrete classes, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using the pattern. The Decorator pattern is particularly useful in scenarios requiring runtime modifications and is commonly applied in Java IO classes.

Structural Design Patterns
Structural Design Patterns are concerned with how classes and objects
are composed to form larger structures. Structural class patterns use
inheritance to compose interfaces or implementations.
Types of Structural Design
Patterns
• Adapter Method Design Patterns
• Bridge Method Design Patterns
• Composite Method Design Patterns
• Decorator Method Design Patterns
• Facade Method Design Patterns
• Flyweight Method Design Patterns
• Proxy Method Design Patterns
Decorator design pattern
allows us to dynamically add functionality and behavior to an object
without affecting the behavior of other existing objects within the same
class. We use inheritance to extend the behavior of the class. This takes
place at compile-time, and all the instances of that class get the
extended behavior.
Continue…
• Decorator patterns allow a user to add new functionality to an
existing object without altering its structure. So, there is no change to
the original class.
• The decorator design pattern is a structural pattern, which provides a
wrapper to the existing class.
• The decorator design pattern uses abstract classes or interfaces with
the composition to implement the wrapper.
Real-World Analogy
Continue…
• Decorator design patterns create decorator classes, which wrap the
original class and supply additional functionality by keeping the class
methods’ signature unchanged.
• Decorator design patterns are most frequently used for applying
single responsibility principles since we divide the functionality into
classes with unique areas of concern.
• The decorator design pattern is structurally almost like the chain of
responsibility pattern.
Usage
1.Decorator design pattern is useful in providing runtime modification
abilities and hence more flexible. Its easy to maintain and extend
when the amount of choices are more.
2.The disadvantage of decorator design pattern is that it uses plenty of
similar kind of objects (decorators)
3.Decorator pattern is used a lot in Java IO classes, like FileReader,
BufferedReader, etc.
Procedure
1.Create an interface.
2.Create concrete classes implementing the same interface.
3.Create an abstract decorator class implementing the above same
interface.
4.Create a concrete decorator class extending the above abstract
decorator class.
5.Now use the concrete decorator class created above to decorate
interface objects.
6.Lastly, verify the output
