Factory Method

Factory Method em C#

O Factory method é um padrão de projeto criacional, que resolve o problema de criar objetos de produtos sem especificar suas classes concretas.

O Factory Method define um método, que deve ser usado para criar objetos em vez da chamada direta ao construtor (operador new). As subclasses podem substituir esse método para alterar a classe de objetos que serão criados.

Se você não conseguir descobrir a diferença entre os padrões Factory, Factory Method e Abstract Factory, leia nossa Comparação Factory.

Complexidade:

Popularidade:

Exemplos de uso: O padrão Factory Method é amplamente utilizado no código C#. É muito útil quando você precisa fornecer um alto nível de flexibilidade para seu código.

Identificação: Os métodos fábrica podem ser reconhecidos por métodos de criação, que criam objetos de classes concretas, mas os retornam como objetos de tipo ou interface abstrata.

Exemplo conceitual

Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Factory Method. 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?

    // The Creator class declares the factory method that is supposed to return
    // an object of a Product class. The Creator's subclasses usually provide
    // the implementation of this method.
    abstract class Creator
    {
        // Note that the Creator may also provide some default implementation of
        // the factory method.
        public abstract IProduct FactoryMethod();

        // Also note that, despite its name, the Creator's primary
        // responsibility is not creating products. Usually, it contains some
        // core business logic that relies on Product objects, returned by the
        // factory method. Subclasses can indirectly change that business logic
        // by overriding the factory method and returning a different type of
        // product from it.
        public string SomeOperation()
        {
            // Call the factory method to create a Product object.

    // Concrete Creators override the factory method in order to change the
    // resulting product's type.

    {
        // Note that the signature of the method still uses the abstract product
        // type, even though the concrete product is actually returned from the
        // method. This way the Creator can stay independent of concrete product
        // classes.
        public override IProduct FactoryMethod()

        // through its base interface. As long as the client keeps working with
        // the creator via the base interface, you can pass it any creator's
