State en Swift
State es un patrón de diseño de comportamiento que permite a un objeto cambiar de comportamiento cuando cambia su estado interno.
El patrón extrae comportamientos relacionados con el estado, los coloca dentro de clases de estado separadas y fuerza al objeto original a delegar el trabajo de una instancia de esas clases, en lugar de actuar por su cuenta.
Complejidad:
Popularidad:
Ejemplos de uso: El patrón State se utiliza habitualmente en Swift para convertir las enormes máquinas de estados basadas en switch, en objetos.
Identificación: El patrón State se puede reconocer por métodos que cambian su comportamiento dependiendo del estado del objeto, controlado externamente.
Los siguientes ejemplos están disponibles en
Swift Playgrounds.
Kudos a
Alejandro Mohamad por crear la versión de Playground.
Ejemplo conceptual
Este ejemplo ilustra la estructura del patrón de diseño State y se centra en las siguientes preguntas:
- ¿De qué clases se compone?
- ¿Qué papeles juegan esas clases?
- ¿De qué forma se relacionan los elementos del patrón?
Después de conocer la estructura del patrón, será más fácil comprender el siguiente ejemplo basado en un caso de uso real en Swift.

import XCTest

/// a reference to an instance of a State subclass, which represents the current
/// state of the Context.

init(_ state: State) {
