Prototype

Prototype em C++

O Prototype é um padrão de projeto criacional que permite a clonagem de objetos, mesmo complexos, sem acoplamento à suas classes específicas.

Todas as classes de prototypes(protótipos) devem ter uma interface comum que permita copiar objetos, mesmo que suas classes concretas sejam desconhecidas. Objetos protótipos podem produzir cópias completas, pois objetos da mesma classe podem acessar os campos privados um do outro.

Complexidade:

Popularidade:

Identificação: O prototype pode ser facilmente reconhecido pelos métodos clone ou copy, etc.

Exemplo conceitual

Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Prototype. 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?
