Imagine the next situation, you have the smart home where devices communicate to each other and do one or another action dependent on the state of another device.
The visualization looks complicated and will be even more complicated if needed additional connections between the devices. To simplify the design, must to implement the Mediator pattern, this is how it should looks:
Continue reading “Mediator Pattern”The pattern encapsulates the request as an object of its own. Usually, when one object makes a request for a second object to do an action, the first object will call a method of the second object and the second object would complete the task.
Common way:
Visualization of the Command design pattern:
In this way, the Sender doesn’t need to know about the receiver and the methods to call.
The Command pattern has another object that invokes the command object to complete whatever task it is supposed to do, called the invoker.
Continue reading “Command Pattern”The State pattern is primarily used when you need to change the behavior on an object based upon the state that it’s in t run-time. For example vending machine has a different sates and can do specific actions based on those states.
There are may be needs for you to test some visits in Sitecore to determine each visit precisely but some of them are not handled because Sitecore may think this is not real interactions, especially if make interactions via JMeter, Locust or K6. To disable bots detection you should follow the next steps:
Set the both values of the settings from true to to false.
<!-- ANALYTICS AUTO DETECT BOTS
Enable auto detection of bots.
Default: true
-->
<setting name="Analytics.AutoDetectBots" value="false" />
<!-- ANALYTICS ROBOTS IGNORE ROBOTS
Ignore requests and do not write information to the Analytics database when the visitor
classification identifies the visitor as a robot.
Default: true
-->
<setting name="Analytics.Robots.IgnoreRobots" value="false" />
Now each visits will be considered as a valid visit and each visit will be tracked.
A chain of objects that are responsible for handling requests. Its a series of objects that are linked together.
When a client object sends a request, the first handler in the chain will try to process it. If a handler can process the request, the request ends at this handler. If a handler cannot deal with the request, the handler will send a request to the next handler nd so on. If any handler can process it, then the request if not satisfied.
Continue reading “Chain of Responsibility Pattern”This is behavioral design pattern, which means it focus on ways that individual objects collaborate to achieve a common goal.
The Template Method can be helpful if you have 2 classes with similar functionality, which apply generalization principle.
This UML diagram has the essential components: a public template method and abstract methods in the superclass. These abstract methods are implemented in the subclasses. There is also one step common to all: reachDestination. It is private because only the method in the superclass needs to access it.
Using the decorator pattern you can build functionality by stacking objects, which allows objects to dynamically add behaviors to others.
The next diagram is helpful to understand the Decorator pattern:
This is how aggregation stack looks like. The Object A is a base object because it doesn’t contain another object. It will have its own set of behaviors. Object B aggregates Object A allowing Object B augment the behaviors of Object A. We can continue add objects to stack where Object C aggregates Object B and augment behaviors of Object B. The relation is always 1 to 1 in decorator design pattern in order to build up the stack so that one object is on top of another.
To achieve an overall combination of behavior for the stacked objects, you would call upon the top element which is object C, then C -> B -> A. Object A responds with its behavior, then object B adds its incremental behavior and object C adds its incremented behavior.

The proxy object itself can hide sensitive information of the original object when interacting with another objects.
3 main reasons to use proxy design pattern:
The pattern achieves 2 goals:
Visualization of the composite:
Problem: the output of one system my not conform to the expected input of another system.
The Adapter design pattern will help to facilitate communication between two existing systems by providing a compatible interface.
The Adapter essentially encapsulates the adaptee and presents a new interface, or appearance, to the client class. It does this by wrapping the adaptee’s interface and exposing a new target interface that makes sense to the client.
