O Observer é um padrão de projeto comportamental que permite que um objeto notifique outros objetos sobre alterações em seu estado.
O padrão Observer fornece uma maneira de assinar e cancelar a assinatura desses eventos para qualquer objeto que implemente uma interface de assinante.
Exemplos de uso: O padrão Observer é bastante comum no código Swift, especialmente nos componentes da interface de usuário. Ele fornece uma maneira de reagir a eventos que acontecem em outros objetos sem acoplamento às suas classes.
Identificação: O padrão pode ser reconhecido por métodos de assinatura, que armazenam objetos em uma lista e por chamadas para o método de atualização emitido para objetos nessa lista.
Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Observer. 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 Subject owns some important state and notifies observers when the state
/// changes.
class Subject {
/// For the sake of simplicity, the Subject's state, essential to all
/// subscribers, is stored in this variable.
var state: Int = { return Int(arc4random_uniform(10)) }()
/// @var array List of subscribers. In real life, the list of subscribers
/// can be stored more comprehensively (categorized by event type, etc.).
private lazy var observers = [Observer]()
/// The subscription management methods.
func attach(_ observer: Observer) {
print("Subject: Attached an observer.\n")
observers.append(observer)
}
func detach(_ observer: Observer) {
if let idx = observers.firstIndex(where: { $0 === observer }) {
observers.remove(at: idx)
print("Subject: Detached an observer.\n")
}
}
/// Trigger an update in each subscriber.
func notify() {
print("Subject: Notifying observers...\n")
observers.forEach({ $0.update(subject: self)})
}
/// Usually, the subscription logic is only a fraction of what a Subject can
/// really do. Subjects commonly hold some important business logic, that
/// triggers a notification method whenever something important is about to
/// happen (or after it).
func someBusinessLogic() {
print("\nSubject: I'm doing something important.\n")
state = Int(arc4random_uniform(10))
print("Subject: My state has just changed to: \(state)\n")
notify()
}
}
/// The Observer protocol declares the update method, used by subjects.
protocol Observer: class {
func update(subject: Subject)
}
/// Concrete Observers react to the updates issued by the Subject they had been
/// attached to.
class ConcreteObserverA: Observer {
func update(subject: Subject) {
if subject.state < 3 {
print("ConcreteObserverA: Reacted to the event.\n")
}
}
}
class ConcreteObserverB: Observer {
func update(subject: Subject) {
if subject.state >= 3 {
print("ConcreteObserverB: Reacted to the event.\n")
}
}
}
/// Let's see how it all works together.
class ObserverConceptual: XCTestCase {
