Template Method en C++

Template Method es un patrón de diseño de comportamiento que te permite definir el esqueleto de un algoritmo en una clase base y permite a las subclases sobrescribir los pasos sin cambiar la estructura general del algoritmo.

Complejidad:

Popularidad:

Ejemplos de uso: El patrón Template Method es muy común en los frameworks C++. Los desarrolladores lo utilizan a menudo para proporcionar a los usuarios de frameworks medios sencillos para extender la funcionalidad estándar utilizando la herencia.

Identificación: El patrón Template Method se puede reconocer por los métodos de comportamiento que ya tienen un comportamiento “por defecto” definido por la clase base.

Ejemplo conceptual

Este ejemplo ilustra la estructura del patrón de diseño Template Method. Se centra en responder las siguientes preguntas:

¿De qué clases se compone?
¿Qué papeles juegan esas clases?
¿De qué forma se relacionan los elementos del patrón?

Same client code can work with different subclasses:
AbstractClass says: I am doing the bulk of the work
ConcreteClass1 says: Implemented Operation1
AbstractClass says: But I let subclasses override some operations
ConcreteClass1 says: Implemented Operation2
AbstractClass says: But I am doing the bulk of the work anyway
