Factory Method Patterns in C#

Factory Method Patterns

Definition: In Factory pattern, we create object without exposing the creation logic. In this pattern, an interface is used for creating an object, but let subclass decide which class to instantiate. The creation of object is done when it is required. The Factory method allows a class later instantiation to subclasses.

Uses of Factory Method Patterns

1.    creation of object is done when it is required.
2.    The process of objects creation is required to centralize within the application.
3.    A class (creator) will not know what classes it will be required to create.


interface Product
{

}

class ConcreteProductA : Product
{
}
class ConcreteProductB : Product
{
}
abstract class Creator
{
 public abstract Product FactoryMethod(string type);
}
class ConcreteCreator : Creator
{
 public override Product FactoryMethod(string type)
 {
 switch (type)
 {
 case "A": return new ConcreteProductA();
 case "B": return new ConcreteProductB();
 default: throw new ArgumentException("Invalid type", "type");
 }
 }
}
