Prototype Pattern
Understand how to implement the prototype pattern to create new objects by cloning existing ones. Learn when to use cloning to avoid expensive initialization and complex object creation scenarios. Explore sample code for applying this creational design pattern effectively in backend services.
We'll cover the following...
Description
The prototype design pattern is a creational pattern that enables the creation of new objects by cloning existing ones, known as prototypes. Instead of explicitly instantiating objects through constructors or factories, the prototype pattern provides a way to create new objects by copying or cloning existing instances. In this pattern, the responsibility of creating the clone objects is delegated to the actual object that is to be cloned.
When to use
We want to use the prototype pattern in the following scenarios:
Avoid complex creation by cloning: We use the ...
