In this unit, we'll implement two essential design patterns: the Command pattern and the Decorator pattern, aimed at enhancing our smart home automation and lighting system. These patterns help create a more flexible and expandable system for automation and lighting control.
-
Command Pattern:
- Purpose: Encapsulates a request as an object, enabling parameterization, queuing, logging, and support for undoable operations.
- Steps:
- Define a command interface with an
execute
method. - Create concrete command classes (
LightOnCommand
,LightOffCommand
) that implement this interface and perform specific actions. - Implement a receiver class (
Light
) with methods to turn the light on and off. - Use an invoker class (
RemoteControl
) to store and execute commands.
- Define a command interface with an
-
Decorator Pattern:
- Purpose: Dynamically adds additional functionality to objects without altering their structure.
- Steps:
- Define a component interface or base class (
Light
).
- Define a component interface or base class (
