Abstract Factory

The Abstract Factory is a creational design pattern that allows for the creation of families of related objects without specifying their concrete classes. It is particularly useful in software development for manufacturing products, such as cars, where different models require specific parts that must be compatible with one another. The pattern involves defining an abstract factory interface and implementing concrete factories to produce the necessary components for each car type.

Abstract Factory

• Abstract Factory is a creational design pattern that lets you produce


families of related objects without specifying their concrete classes.
• The Abstract Factory design pattern is a creational pattern used in
software development to provide an interface for creating families of
related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.
• Example: Tata motors is a car manufacturer, consider that they
manufacture different types of cars, each composed of various parts such
as engines, chassis, wheels, and interiors.
• Additionally, each car model (e.g., sedan, SUV, sports car) may have
variations in these parts based on different specifications or options.
• You need a way to manufacture individual car objects so that they match
other objects of the same family. Imagine delivering the customer a
Sedan fitted with the wheels of a SUV.
• Understanding the Components:
Abstract Factory Interface: Define an abstract factory interface that declares a set of
methods for creating each part of a car. For instance:
Concrete Factories:
Implement concrete factory classes that implement the CarFactory interface. Each
factory is responsible for creating parts of a specific family of cars.
• Usage of the Abstract Factory:
Client Code: In the client code (e.g., a car assembly line), use the abstract factory interface
to create families of related objects (car parts) without specifying their concrete classes.
Creating Cars: Use the CarAssemblyLine to create cars of specific types by providing an appropriate factory.
