Factory Method

Factory Method em Python

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 Python. 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?

main.py: Exemplo conceitual

class Creator(ABC):
    """
    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.
    """

        Note that the Creator may also provide some default implementation of
        the factory method.

        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.

product's type.

    way the Creator can stay independent of concrete product classes.
