Hey code composers! Ever wished your code could follow a harmonious melody, with each instrument playing its part seamlessly? The Template Method Design Pattern is like having a sheet music for your code – it defines the skeleton of an algorithm, letting the steps be implemented by different instruments (or subclasses). It's the ultimate conductor's baton for your code, ensuring a symphony of tasks performed with perfect harmony!
Concept:
- AbstractClass: Your conductor, providing the template method with steps for the algorithm.
- ConcreteClass: The instrumentalists, implementing the specific steps in their unique ways.
- Client: You, the maestro orchestrating this coding symphony.
Ruby Symphony of Code:
Let's waltz into a Ruby adventure that's as enchanting as a serenade and as delightful as a musical soirée.
AbstractClass:
# Your conductor - the AbstractClass
class MusicComposer
def compose
write_music
add_instruments
conduct
end
def write_music
raise NotImplementedError, 'Subclasses must implement the write_music method'
end
def add_instruments
puts 'Adding instruments to the composition...'
end
def conduct
raise NotImplementedError, 'Subclasses must implement the conduct method'
end
end
ConcreteClass:
# The instrumentalists - the ConcreteClass
class ClassicalComposer < MusicComposer
def write_music
puts 'Writing a classical composition...'
end
def conduct
puts 'Conducting a classical symphony!'
end
end
class JazzComposer < MusicComposer
def write_music
puts 'Writing a jazzy tune...'
end
def conduct
puts 'Conducting a lively jazz ensemble!'
end
end
Symphony Code:
# The maestro's sheet music
classical_conductor = ClassicalComposer.new
jazz_conductor = JazzComposer.new
# Let the symphony begin!
puts 'Classical Symphony:'
classical_conductor.compose
puts "\nJazz Ensemble:"
jazz_conductor.compose
Why It's a Symphony of Code:
The Template Method Design Pattern is like conducting a symphony with code. It provides a structured way to define an algorithm, allowing different instruments (or subclasses) to play their part seamlessly. So, whether you're orchestrating a coding soirée or just want your code to follow a harmonious melody, the Template Method Pattern is your maestro's baton. Conduct on, code composers, conduct on! 🎻✨
