Excellent thank you. Can you tell me what is the difference between this pattern and a Factory Pattern, and what is the advantage of using this pattern (in what context?). You have a very good logical way of explaining. Please do more videos on Python.

Thanks, JC! The main difference between the builder pattern and the factory pattern lies in their focus: Fluent builder pattern: Helps construct complex objects step-by-step with optional configurations. It acts like a "recipe" where you choose the ingredients (object properties) and add them one by one. This enables flexible object creation with improved readability, especially for objects with many optional fields. Factory pattern: Deals with encapsulating object creation logic and choosing the right type of object to create based on certain criteria. It's like a switchboard that decides which "machine" (object) to turn on based on the input. This promotes loose coupling and simplifies object creation when choosing between different implementations. The advantages of using these patterns depend on the context: Use the fluent builder pattern when: - You have a complex object with many optional configurations. - You want to improve code readability and clarity for object creation. - You need a flexible way to define default values for optional fields. Use the factory pattern when: - You need to create different types of objects based on different conditions. - You want to decouple your code from the specific implementation details of object creation. - You want to centralize the logic for choosing the right object type.

Hello sir, would like to ask a question regarding the code in the GitHub repository. In the product class (email_message.py) I see that youve placed a setter method for 'to', which is def set_to. But in the video and the repository, the builder class makes use of the get_to method to get the argument passed to provide the value for 'to'. I may have overlooked it on my part, but I dont see the set_to method being used and I'm kind of confused regarding its purpose. I'd just kindly like to know where the set_to method is being used. Thank you very much!
