Abstract Factory for Product Families
Create families of related objects (e.g., UI components per platform) with Abstract Factory.
The Abstract Factory Intent
Abstract Factory provides an interface for creating families of related objects without specifying their concrete classes. It ensures that products from one factory are compatible.
The Problem: Inconsistent Product Families
Without Abstract Factory, you might mix a Windows button with a Mac checkbox. The pattern enforces that all products come from the same factory, ensuring visual or behavioral consistency.
