Factory Method pattern in C#
Hi there! Welcome to my blog where I share my passion for C# and design patterns. Today I’m going to talk about one of the most popular and useful design patterns: the Factory Method pattern.π What is the Factory Method pattern? The Factory Method pattern is a creational design pattern that defines an interface for creating an object but lets subclasses decide which class to instantiate. This pattern lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses . In other words, the Factory Method pattern allows us to create objects without exposing the creation logic to the client. Instead of using a constructor or a simple factory, we use an abstract method (or an interface) that returns an object of a specific type. The subclasses can then override this method and return different types of objects based on some criteria. Why use the Factory Method pattern? The Factory Method pattern is useful when we want to: Decouple the creation of objects from their usage Encapsulate the object creation l...
