O Bridge é um padrão de projeto estrutural que divide a lógica de negócio ou uma enorme classe em hierarquias de classe separadas que podem ser desenvolvidas independentemente.
Uma dessas hierarquias (geralmente chamada de Abstração) obterá uma referência a um objeto da segunda hierarquia (Implementação). A abstração poderá delegar algumas (às vezes, a maioria) de suas chamadas para o objeto de implementações. Como todas as implementações terão uma interface comum, elas seriam intercambiáveis dentro da abstração.
Exemplos de uso: O padrão Bridge é especialmente útil ao lidar com aplicações multi plataforma, oferecer suporte a vários tipos de servidores de banco de dados, ou ao trabalhar com vários provedores de API de um determinado tipo (por exemplo, plataformas em nuvem, redes sociais etc.)
Identificação: O Bridge pode ser reconhecida por uma distinção clara entre alguma entidade controladora e várias plataformas diferentes nas quais ela se baseia.
Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Bridge. Ele se concentra em responder a estas perguntas:
De quais classes ele consiste?
Quais papéis essas classes desempenham?
De que maneira os elementos do padrão estão relacionados?
Depois de aprender sobre a estrutura do padrão, será mais fácil entender o exemplo a seguir, com base em um caso de uso Swift do mundo real.
Example.swift: Exemplo conceitual
import XCTest
/// The Abstraction defines the interface for the "control" part of the two
/// class hierarchies. It maintains a reference to an object of the
/// Implementation hierarchy and delegates all of the real work to this object.
class Abstraction {
fileprivate var implementation: Implementation
init(_ implementation: Implementation) {
self.implementation = implementation
}
func operation() -> String {
let operation = implementation.operationImplementation()
return "Abstraction: Base operation with:\n" + operation
}
}
/// You can extend the Abstraction without changing the Implementation classes.
class ExtendedAbstraction: Abstraction {
override func operation() -> String {
let operation = implementation.operationImplementation()
return "ExtendedAbstraction: Extended operation with:\n" + operation
}
}
/// The Implementation defines the interface for all implementation classes. It
/// doesn't have to match the Abstraction's interface. In fact, the two
/// interfaces can be entirely different. Typically the Implementation interface
/// provides only primitive operations, while the Abstraction defines higher-
/// level operations based on those primitives.
protocol Implementation {
func operationImplementation() -> String
}
/// Each Concrete Implementation corresponds to a specific platform and
/// implements the Implementation interface using that platform's API.
class ConcreteImplementationA: Implementation {
func operationImplementation() -> String {
return "ConcreteImplementationA: Here's the result on the platform A.\n"
}
}
class ConcreteImplementationB: Implementation {
func operationImplementation() -> String {
return "ConcreteImplementationB: Here's the result on the platform B\n"
}
}
/// Except for the initialization phase, where an Abstraction object gets linked
/// with a specific Implementation object, the client code should only depend on
/// the Abstraction class. This way the client code can support any abstraction-
/// implementation combination.
class Client {
// ...
static func someClientCode(abstraction: Abstraction) {
print(abstraction.operation())
}
// ...
}
/// Let's see how it all works together.
class BridgeConceptual: XCTestCase {
func testBridgeConceptual() {
// The client code should be able to work with any pre-configured
// abstraction-implementation combination.
let implementation = ConcreteImplementationA()
Client.someClientCode(abstraction: Abstraction(implementation))
let concreteImplementation = ConcreteImplementationB()
Client.someClientCode(abstraction: ExtendedAbstraction(concreteImplementation))
}
}
