How to use Factory Method Design Pattern to design a course website like Udacity, Edx, Coursera...

[@curiossoul]

I presented similar design in one of the tech interviews and was questioned on breaking OCP in factory class. Though this is mostly taught by most authors for explaining the concept, in reality, we can avoid switch case with map so factory method just look up the map and return the value. Now to build the map, we have two choices 1. Provide register product method in factory so product can register itself and then can be returned 2. Use reflection to load classes in a map at startup. Map is maintained by factory class. Map key is identifier used in switch case and value is return type of factory method.

[@sudocode]

Both ways are good enough as an alternate to switch case. At the end factory does have knowledge of the map or the way to figure out the concrete class.

[@curiossoul]

@@sudocode if you agree, would you consider editing the video or add a top level comment to let readers know about this. It might save them from getting kicked out from their dream jobs at no fault of theirs.

9:51 CreateCourse() is not the meat and potatoes of the Factory pattern. The Factory pattern relies on delegating the object creation to a class specialized for this purpose. The underlying mechanisms of the actual creation vary by use case and are beyond the scope of the Factory pattern.

[@lapimpale]

The second example was little bit complicated but I really like createVehicle example. Thank you for explaining in easy manner.

[@sudocode]

Do you mean the factory example was complicated or the coding example ?

@@sudocode the course module example. I am at intermediate level may be it’s easy to understand for someone who knows better than me

1. 2:28 the class that implements the creation logic is wrongfully called "concrete" class, or subclass, that implement the factory method interface. The "factory" class need not be an abstraction for the creation implemention but a totally separated class. This is because you want to decouple the objects being created, from the factory (see 5.). 2. 2:56 the same thing. You say that the FactoryClass is abstract or an interface. 3. 4:40 the concrete class is _not_ hidden from the interface that it implements, it just can't be. But it is hidden from the client. 4. 9:51 In the Course example you make the Course class abstract. Furthermore you have an abstract method named createCourse() which would suggest it's responsible for the underlying logic of a factory method like newing the Course. In fact it has to do with inner composition of a Course but not with its instantiation. 5. You made the CourseFactory not an abstract class/interface and well you did. But remember what you said in 1. and 2. But you name the instantiating code getCourse() which would suggest it returns a permanent unique field of the class. You should name _this_ createCourse() or just create().

Before coming to this tutorial, I am having, doubts about design pattern but the way explained all the things it is easy to understand. Thank you very much for such informative video ☺

[@nitin4598]

Useful information, but maam dnt you think swich is violating OCP in case we have to add new type.. If not then can you please explain??

[@curiossoul]

Use map instead of switch here, load this map from properties file on startup

[@akjoker79]

This is simple factory. The factory method pattern by GOF will have subclasses create the instances

does it corelate to open / close principle. if one of the new requirement there will be modification , any alternative for this ?

Hello and geetings from Bulgaria. I like your energetic and well explained courses. However ... I can see for last ... many years that it is the Indian scholars pushing the abstract methods while many other have given them up. For ex. the whole C# platform is based on the implementation of interfaces. Which in OOP terms gives us the "is a" relationships. Down the line that also help to implement the very modern now concepts like dependency injection and automatic unit tests. In both cases we can inject an object as another object's "has a", as well as we can inject a Mock object with pre-setup return values. That is for as long as those objects implement the desired interfaces. I would love to engage you on small chat / discussion about that. Thank you, ILIIA

[@sudocode]

Thank you for your comments. I would have loved to chat with you if you haven’t opened with the Indian scholars. Computer science is a science. It has nothing to do with origin of the scientists. Wish you well 😊

[@saumitrasaxena8470]

Hi Yogita Maam , At 4:15 you showed in diagram that Factory Class contains no implementation .That is not the case as in factory class,factory method should contain the logic to determine one of the concrete class.In the slide you showed , logic to detremine which subclass is resposibility of subclass but thats not the case as logic to determine which concrete class is the responsibility of Factory class . Could you please clarify on this ? package com.journaldev.design.factory; import com.journaldev.design.model.Computer; import com.journaldev.design.model.PC; import com.journaldev.design.model.Server; public class ComputerFactory { public static Computer getComputer(String type, String ram, String hdd, String cpu){ if("PC".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) return new PC(ram, hdd, cpu); else if("Server".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) return new Server(ram, hdd, cpu); return null; } }

[@sudocode]

It means no implementation to initialise the actual object creation :)

[@saumitrasaxena8470]

@@sudocode Yes .But thta's not correct.Initialization to create actual object is always done in factory class.see below code 2 code from geekfor fees and journaldev . public class NotificationFactory { public static Notification createNotification(String channel) { if (channel == null || channel.isEmpty()) return null; switch (channel) { case "SMS": return new SMSNotification(); case "EMAIL": return new EmailNotification(); case "PUSH": return new PushNotification(); default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown channel "+channel); } } } public class ComputerFactory { public static Computer getComputer(String type, String ram, String hdd, String cpu){ if("PC".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) return new PC(ram, hdd, cpu); else if("Server".equalsIgnoreCase(type)) return new Server(ram, hdd, cpu); return null; } }

[@gaurika4927]

I agree with Saumitra Saxena. In your example also CourseFactory has logic to initialize object of concrete class like HLD, LLD and not the concrete class has that switch case logic. This is done to ensure only Factory class is open for changes and rest are closed for modifications.

[@mateuszmoscicki308]

Hello. I appreciate your effort. I have a question regarding the switch statement in your CourseFactory class as well as else-if statements in the vehicles example. Aren't those breaking the open-closed principle?

[@sudocode]

No they are not. They are open for extension in a sense you can add more courses but they are closed because each course has its own createCourse method which you cannot modify :)

@@sudocode what if I want to extend your app by creating another type of course? Will I have to modify your class?

You have not used createCourse method in factory method to create instance instead used new Class() directly.

This is simple factory only. Not a factory pattern.

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: A class with a single method that creates objects of different types based on provided input.

𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 (𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆): A design pattern that provides an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.
