O Mediator é um padrão de projeto comportamental que reduz o acoplamento entre os componentes de um programa, fazendo-os se comunicar indiretamente, por meio de um objeto mediador especial.
O Mediator facilita a modificação, a extensão e a reutilização de componentes individuais porque eles não são mais dependentes de dezenas de outras classes.
No entanto, ainda existem usos para o padrão Mediator, como os dispatchers (expedidores) de eventos de muitas estruturas PHP ou algumas implementações de Controladores MVC.
Exemplo conceitual
Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Mediator . 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 PHP do mundo real.

Client triggers operation A.
Component 1 does A.

Component 1 does B.
Component 2 does C.
Exemplo do mundo real
Neste exemplo, o padrão Mediator expande a ideia do padrão Observer, fornecendo um expedidor de eventos centralizado. Ele permite que qualquer objeto rastreie e acione eventos em outros objetos sem depender de suas classes.

/**
* The Event Dispatcher class acts as a Mediator and contains the subscription
* and notification logic. While a classic Mediator often depends on concrete
* component classes, this one is only tied to their abstract interfaces.
*
* We are able to achieve this level of indirection thanks to the way the
* connections between components are established. The components themselves may
* subscribe to specific events that they are interested in via the Mediator's
* subscription interface.
*
* Note, we can't use the PHP's built-in Subject/Observer interfaces here
* because we'll be stretching them too far from what they were designed for.
