O Facade é um padrão de projeto estrutural que fornece uma interface simplificada (mas limitada) para um sistema complexo de classes, biblioteca, ou framework.
Embora o Facade diminua a complexidade geral do aplicativo, também ajuda a mover dependências indesejadas para um só local.
Exemplos de uso: O padrão Facade é comumente usado em aplicações escritas em Swift. É especialmente útil ao trabalhar com bibliotecas e APIs complexas.
Identificação: O Facade pode ser reconhecido em uma classe que possui uma interface simples, mas delega a maior parte do trabalho para outras classes. Geralmente, as fachadas gerenciam o ciclo de vida completo dos objetos que usam.
Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Facade. 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 Facade class provides a simple interface to the complex logic of one or
/// several subsystems. The Facade delegates the client requests to the
/// appropriate objects within the subsystem. The Facade is also responsible for
/// managing their lifecycle. All of this shields the client from the undesired
/// complexity of the subsystem.
class Facade {
private var subsystem1: Subsystem1
private var subsystem2: Subsystem2
/// Depending on your application's needs, you can provide the Facade with
/// existing subsystem objects or force the Facade to create them on its
/// own.
init(subsystem1: Subsystem1 = Subsystem1(),
subsystem2: Subsystem2 = Subsystem2()) {
self.subsystem1 = subsystem1
self.subsystem2 = subsystem2
}
/// The Facade's methods are convenient shortcuts to the sophisticated
/// functionality of the subsystems. However, clients get only to a fraction
/// of a subsystem's capabilities.
func operation() -> String {
var result = "Facade initializes subsystems:"
result += " " + subsystem1.operation1()
result += " " + subsystem2.operation1()
result += "\n" + "Facade orders subsystems to perform the action:\n"
result += " " + subsystem1.operationN()
result += " " + subsystem2.operationZ()
return result
}
}
/// The Subsystem can accept requests either from the facade or client directly.
/// In any case, to the Subsystem, the Facade is yet another client, and it's
/// not a part of the Subsystem.
class Subsystem1 {
func operation1() -> String {
return "Sybsystem1: Ready!\n"
}
// ...
func operationN() -> String {
return "Sybsystem1: Go!\n"
}
}
/// Some facades can work with multiple subsystems at the same time.
class Subsystem2 {
func operation1() -> String {
return "Sybsystem2: Get ready!\n"
}
// ...
func operationZ() -> String {
return "Sybsystem2: Fire!\n"
}
}
/// The client code works with complex subsystems through a simple interface
/// provided by the Facade. When a facade manages the lifecycle of the
/// subsystem, the client might not even know about the existence of the
/// subsystem. This approach lets you keep the complexity under control.
class Client {
// ...
static func clientCode(facade: Facade) {
print(facade.operation())
}
// ...
}
/// Let's see how it all works together.
class FacadeConceptual: XCTestCase {
func testFacadeConceptual() {
/// The client code may have some of the subsystem's objects already
/// created. In this case, it might be worthwhile to initialize the
/// Facade with these objects instead of letting the Facade create new
/// instances.
let subsystem1 = Subsystem1()
let subsystem2 = Subsystem2()
let facade = Facade(subsystem1: subsystem1, subsystem2: subsystem2)
Client.clientCode(facade: facade)
}
}

Facade initializes subsystems: Sybsystem1: Ready!
Sybsystem2: Get ready!
Facade orders subsystems to perform the action:
Sybsystem1: Go!
Sybsystem2: Fire!

/// Facade Design Pattern
///
/// Intent: Provides a simplified interface to a library, a framework, or any
/// other complex set of classes.
class FacadeRealWorld: XCTestCase {
/// In the real project, you probably will use third-party libraries. For
/// instance, to download images.
///
/// Therefore, facade and wrapping it is a good way to use a third party API
/// in the client code. Even if it is your own library that is connected to
/// a project.
///
/// The benefits here are:
///
/// 1) If you need to change a current image downloader it should be done
/// only in the one place of a project. A number of lines of the client code
/// will stay work.
///
/// 2) The facade provides an access to a fraction of a functionality that
/// fits most client needs. Moreover, it can set frequently used or default
/// parameters.
