Creational Design Pattern - Factory Pattern
In my previous blog, I discussed the Abstract Factory Pattern , which you can read if you're interested. Today, I am going to discuss the Factory Pattern. Factory Design Pattern Factory design pattern is similar to abstract factory pattern and they both are creational design patterns. The only difference is that Factory pattern has only one factory class while abstract factory pattern can have multiple different factories which extend the main abstract factory class. So, if you want to implement an application that have multiple similar objects, you can use factory pattern. Otherwise, if you have to implement multiple different types of objects, you can use abstract factory pattern which allows you to create multiple factories. For Factory design pattern, it is quite less complex than abstract one. Take a look at this following diagram. I used the same example for both abstract factory and factory pattern. So you can understand the difference between two of them easily. The Factor...
