## Intent
|
||||
|
||||
Define a factory of immutable content with separated builder and factory interfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
## Explanation
|
||||
|
||||
Real-world example
|
||||
|
||||
> Imagine a magical weapon factory that can create any type of weapon wished for. When the factory
|
||||
> is unboxed, the master recites the weapon types needed to prepare it. After that, any of those
|
||||
> weapon types can be summoned in an instant.
|
||||
|
||||
In plain words
|
||||
|
||||
> Factory kit is a configurable object builder.
|
||||
|
||||
**Programmatic Example**
|
||||
|
||||
Let's first define the simple `Weapon` hierarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public interface Weapon {
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public enum WeaponType {
|
||||
SWORD,
|
||||
AXE,
|
||||
BOW,
|
||||
SPEAR
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
public class Sword implements Weapon {
|
||||
@Override
|
||||
public String toString() {
|
||||
return "Sword";
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Axe, Bow, and Spear are defined similarly
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next, we define a functional interface that allows adding a builder with a name to the factory.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public interface Builder {
|
||||
void add(WeaponType name, Supplier<Weapon> supplier);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The meat of the example is the `WeaponFactory` interface that effectively implements the factory
|
||||
kit pattern. The method `#factory` is used to configure the factory with the classes it needs to
|
||||
be able to construct. The method `#create` is then used to create object instances.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
public interface WeaponFactory {
|
||||
|
||||
static WeaponFactory factory(Consumer<Builder> consumer) {
|
||||
var map = new HashMap<WeaponType, Supplier<Weapon>>();
|
||||
consumer.accept(map::put);
|
||||
return name -> map.get(name).get();
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Weapon create(WeaponType name);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, we can show how `WeaponFactory` can be used.
|
||||
|
||||
```java
|
||||
var factory = WeaponFactory.factory(builder -> {
|
||||
builder.add(WeaponType.SWORD, Sword::new);
|
||||
builder.add(WeaponType.AXE, Axe::new);
|
||||
builder.add(WeaponType.SPEAR, Spear::new);
|
||||
builder.add(WeaponType.BOW, Bow::new);
|
||||
});
|
||||
var list = new ArrayList<Weapon>();
|
||||
list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.AXE));
|
||||
list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.SPEAR));
|
||||
list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.SWORD));
|
||||
list.add(factory.create(WeaponType.BOW));
|
||||
list.stream().forEach(weapon -> LOGGER.info("{}", weapon.toString()));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the console output when the example is run.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
21:15:49.709 [main] INFO com.iluwatar.factorykit.App - Axe
|
||||
21:15:49.713 [main] INFO com.iluwatar.factorykit.App - Spear

||||
21:15:49.713 [main] INFO com.iluwatar.factorykit.App - Sword
|
||||
21:15:49.713 [main] INFO com.iluwatar.factorykit.App - Bow
|
||||
```

||||

## Applicability
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Factory Kit pattern when
|
||||
|
||||
* a class can't anticipate the class of objects it must create
|
||||
* you just want a new instance of a custom builder instead of the global one
|
||||
* you explicitly want to define types of objects, that factory can build
|
||||
* you want a separated builder and creator interface
|
||||
* The factory class can't anticipate the types of objects it must create
|
||||
* A new instance of a custom builder is needed instead of a global one
|
||||
* The types of objects that the factory can build need to be defined outside the class
|
||||
* The builder and creator interfaces need to be separated
