bridge pattern for dummies
DESCRIPTION
You can grasp the idea of bridge pattern and see real life examples in code and class diagrams.TRANSCRIPT
BRIDGE PATTERN“ decoupling an abstraction from its implementation ”
Jang, Taeksoon (NHN NEXT)
Wednesday, March 26, 14
MOTIVATION- Suppose an abstraction should have different implementation
- Simple implementation would just extend the object itself
- Then, inheritance binds an implementation to the abstraction
- When a class changes often, you should change all classes
“ Bridge Pattern helps minimize changes in class ”
Wednesday, March 26, 14
BRIDGE PATTERN DEFINED
- Separate abstraction and implementation
Class itself : AbstractionWhat class can do : Implementation

PARTICIPANT
Abstraction : defines abstract interface and maintains the implementor referenceRefined Abstraction : extends the interface defined by abstractionImplementor : defines the interface for implementation classesConcrete Implementor : implements the Implementor interface

BENEFIT OF BRIDGE PATTERN
- Avoid binding between abstraction and implementation => Able to select implementation at run time
- Reduction in the number of sub classes
- Abstraction and Implementation can be varied independently
- Cleaner code without ‘if ’ or ‘switch’ statement

ADAPTER VS BRIDGE
Adapter- meant to change the interface of an existing object- intended to make unrelated classes work together- My Code + Someone else’s Code
Bridge- intended to decouple abstraction from its implementation- Entirely My Code and My Structure
