Le Mémento est un patron de conception comportemental qui permet de prendre des instantanés de l’état d’un objet et de les restaurer plus tard.
Le mémento ne compromet pas l’intégrité de la structure interne de l’objet avec lequel il interagit, ni celle des données contenues dans l’instantané.
Exemple conceptuel
Dans cet exemple, nous allons voir la structure du Mémento et répondre aux questions suivantes :
Que contiennent les classes ?
Quels rôles jouent-elles ?
Comment les éléments du patron sont-ils reliés ?
Après avoir étudié la structure du patron, vous pourrez plus facilement comprendre l’exemple suivant qui est basé sur un cas d’utilisation réel en Swift.
