Structural Design Patterns
Explore structural design patterns such as adapter, decorator, and facade to understand how system components relate and interact. This lesson helps you grasp how these patterns simplify system designs and support scalable architecture without altering underlying code.
We'll cover the following...
Whereas creational design patterns focus on object creation, structural design patterns take a step back and discuss how system components are related to one another. Though these do have in-code representations, and that is often what people look to for examples, we’ll be using the design approach because these patterns will come up in the system designs and architectural landscapes that we’ll cover later.
Adapter pattern
The adapter pattern is used to convert between different object types, which often may serve similar purposes. From a code perspective, it’s similar to an abstract class and the classes that ...
