The Builder Pattern is a creational design pattern that helps construct complex objects step by step. Unlike other creational patterns, the Builder pattern does not require the objects to be immutable and thus allows step-by-step configuration of the object before its final creation. This is particularly useful when an object requires several parameters for its […]
Understanding the Adapter Pattern with PHP
The Adapter Pattern is a structural design pattern that allows objects with incompatible interfaces to work together. It acts as a bridge between two incompatible interfaces, making it possible for a class to use the functionality of another class. In this article, we’ll explore the Adapter Pattern using an example in PHP. We’ll create a […]
Understanding the Template Method Pattern with PHP
The Template Method pattern is a behavioral design pattern that defines the skeleton of an algorithm in a method, deferring some steps to subclasses. This pattern lets subclasses redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm’s structure In this article, we’ll explore the Template Method pattern using a simple sandwich-making example in PHP. […]
Exploring Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC)
Dependency injection is a pattern we can use to implement IoC, where the control being inverted is setting an object’s dependencies
