Composite and Bridge Patterns
Work with Composite for tree-like structures and Bridge to decouple abstraction from implementation.
Composite: Grouping Objects
Imagine you're building a system where individual objects and groups of objects need to be treated uniformly. This is where the Composite pattern shines!
It lets you compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. This way, clients can treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly.
Components, Leaves, & Composites
The Composite pattern involves three main roles:
- Component: The common interface or abstract class for both individual objects (leaves) and composite objects.
- Leaf: Represents individual objects that don't have children.
- Composite: Represents objects that can have children (other Components). It manages child components and delegates operations to them.
