Imagine you are building a transportation logistics system where businesses need different types of transport — Truck, Ship, and Airplane. You need a way to create these transport modes without tightly coupling your code to specific classes.
This is where the Factory Method Pattern comes to the rescue! It helps encapsulate the object creation logic, making your code scalable, maintainable, and flexible.
What is the Factory Method Pattern?
The Factory Method Pattern is a creational design pattern that provides an interface for creating objects but allows subclasses to alter the type of objects that will be created. It delegates the responsibility of instantiating a class to its subclasses.
Why Use It?
Reduces tight coupling between client classes and object creation logic.
Makes code scalable as adding new object types doesn’t require modifying existing code.
Supports Open/Closed Principle (Open for extension, Closed for modification).
