## Intent
|
|
A layer of mappers that moves data between objects and a database while keeping them independent of each other and the mapper itself
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Applicability
|
|
The module pattern is a design pattern used to implement the concept of software modules, defined by modular programming, in a programming language with incomplete direct support for the concept.
|
|
|
|
The Module pattern can be considered a creational pattern and a structural pattern. It manages the creation and organization of other elements, and groups them as the structural pattern does.
|
|
|
|
An object that applies this pattern can provide the equivalent of a namespace, providing the initialization and finalization process of a static class or a class with static members with cleaner, more concise syntax and semantics.
|
|
|
|
It supports specific cases where a class or object can be considered structured, procedural data. And, vice versa, migrate structured, procedural data, and considered as object-oriented.
