Intent

Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.

alt text

Applicability

Use the Abstract Factory pattern when

  • a system should be independent of how its products are created, composed and represented
  • a system should be configured with one of multiple families of products
  • a family of related product objects is designed to be used together, and you need to enforce this constraint
  • you want to provide a class library of products, and you want to reveal just their interfaces, not their implementations
