Decorator Design Pattern

The decorator enables us to add functionality to an existing object without needing to create a new inheritance chain or update the prototype. The idea is to add functionality to items based on need instead of adding them to the object from the get-go. This can become very useful when you have multiple objects with partially shared functionality.

Abstraction

- Abstraction is key to making flexible designs. - Not everything needs to be planed in advance. - Modularly updating components to fit changes.

Adapter Design Pattern

- You need to keep an object with the same interface. - But, a library component demands a different interface. - or the object is missing a methods in it's API.

Composite Design Pattern

- Multiple objects with the same API. - When you need to control all at the same time. - Ideal in recursive elements that are %u201Cchained%u201D to each other.

Decorator Design Pattern

- Adding features to specific items. - Without creating a subclass. - Or changing the original interface/constructor.
