 What is the Flyweight Pattern?

• Flyweight pattern is one of the structural design patterns.

• Lets you fit more objects into the available RAM by

sharing common parts of the state between multiple
objects, instead of storing all the data in each object
individually
 When to Use Flyweight Pattern

• Flyweight refers to an object that minimizes memory usage by sharing some

of the initial object’s data with other similar objects.

• We can use it when :

 Large Number of Objects.

 Memory Constraints.
 Performance Optimization.
 How We Can Use Flyweight Pattern

1. Identify Common State.

2. Separate Intrinsic and Extrinsic State.

3. Create Flyweight Factory.

4. Share Flyweight Objects.
