The simple factory pattern is a class creation pattern, also called a static factory method (Static Factory Method) model. The simple factory pattern uses a factory object to determine which instance of the product class to create.
1. Several forms of factory pattern
The factory pattern is specifically responsible for instantiating a large number of classes with common interfaces. The factory pattern can dynamically decide which class to instantiate without having to know in advance which class to instantiate each time. Factory mode has the following forms:
(1) Simple Factory pattern, also known as Static Factory Method Pattern.
(2) Factory Method pattern, also known as Polymorphic Factory pattern or Virtual Constructor pattern;
(3) Abstract Factory pattern, also known as Kit or Toolkit pattern. The following is a simplified class diagram of the simple factory pattern.
Simple factory pattern, or static factory method pattern, is a special implementation of different factory method patterns. In other literature, simple factories are often discussed as a special case of the general factory pattern.
Learning the simple factory pattern is a good preparation for learning the factory method pattern, and it is also a good preparation for learning other patterns, especially the singleton pattern and the multiple instance pattern.
2. Introduction of simple factory model
For example, there is a farm company that specializes in selling various fruits to the market. The following fruits need to be described in this system:
Grape Grape
Strawberry
Apple Apple
Fruits are very different from other plants in that they can ultimately be picked and eaten. Then a natural approach is to create an interface that is applicable to all kinds of fruits in order to distinguish them from other plants on the farm. As shown below.
The fruit interface specifies the interfaces that all fruits must implement, including the methods that any fruit class must have: plant(), grow() and harvest(). The class diagram of interface Fruit is shown below.
The source code of this fruit interface is as follows.
Code Listing 1: Source code of interface Fruit
interface Fruit { public function grow(); public function harvest(); public function plant(); }
The Apple class is a type of fruit class, so it implements all the methods declared by the fruit interface. In addition, since apples are perennial plants, there is an additional treeAge property to describe the age of the apple tree. Below is the source code for this Apple class.
Code Listing 2: Apple-like source code
class Apple implements Fruit { private $_treeAge; public function grow() { echo "Apple is growing."; } public function harvest() { echo "Apple has been harvested."; } public function plant() { echo "Apple has been planted."; } public function getTreeAge() { return $this->_treeAge; } public function setTreeAge($treeAge) { $this->_treeAge = (int) $treeAge; } }
Similarly, the Grape class is a type of fruit class and also implements all the methods declared by the Fruit interface. However, since grapes are divided into two types: seeded and seedless, they have one more seedless property than ordinary fruits, as shown in the figure below.
The source code of grape class is as follows. It can be seen that the Grape class also implements the Fruit interface and is therefore a subtype of the Fruit type.
Code Listing 3: Source code of class Grape
class Grape implements Fruit { private $seedless; public function grow() { echo "Grape is growing."; } public function harvest() { echo "Grape has been harvested."; } public function plant() { echo "Grape has been planted."; } public function getSeedless() { return $this->seedless; } public function setSeedless($seedless) { $this->seedless = (boolean) $seedless; } }
The Strawberry class implements the Fruit interface and, therefore, is also a subtype of the fruit type. Its source code is as follows.
Code Listing 4: Source code of class Strawberry
class Strawberry implements Fruit { public function grow() { echo "Strawberry is growing."; } public function harvest() { echo "Strawberry has been harvested."; } public function plant() { echo "Strawberry has been planted."; } }
The gardener on the farm is also part of the system and should naturally be represented by a suitable class. This class is the FruitGardener class, and its structure is described by the following class diagram.
The FruitGardener class will create different fruit objects according to the client's requirements, such as instances of Apple, Grape or Strawberry. If an illegal request is received, the FruitGardener class will throw a BadFruitException exception.
The source code of the Gardener class is shown below.
Code Listing 5: Source code of FruitGardener class
class FruitGardener { public static function factory($which) { $which = strtolower($which); if ($which == 'apple') { return new Apple(); } elseif ($which == 'strawberry') { return new Strawberry(); } elseif ($which == 'grape') { return new Grape(); } else { throw new BadFruitException('Bad fruit request'); } } }
As you can see, the Gardener class provides a static factory method. When called by the client, this method creates the fruit object required by the client. If the client's request is not supported by the system, the factory method will throw a BadFruitException. The source code of this exception class is shown below.
Code Listing 6: Source code of BadFruitException class
class BadFruitException extends Exception { }
When using it, the client only needs to call the static method factory() of FruitGardener. Please see the instructions below
sex client source code.
Code Listing 7: How to use the exception class BadFruitException
try { FruitGardener::factory('apple'); FruitGardener::factory('grape'); FruitGardener::factory('strawberry'); //... } catch (BadFruitException $e) { //... }
In this way, the farm will surely have a bumper harvest!
3. Design an "object-oriented" calculator using the simple factory pattern
