SOLID: Interface Segregation Principle
Explore the Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) in object-oriented design, understanding how to avoid fat interfaces by separating them based on client use. Learn to design precise interfaces, improving code maintainability and flexibility through practical shape interface examples.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction
The Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) is a design principle that does not recommend having methods that an interface would not use and require. Therefore, it goes against having fat interfaces in classes and prefers having small interfaces with a group of methods, each serving a particular purpose.
The goal behind implementing the ISP is to have a precise code design that follows the correct abstraction guidelines and tends to be more flexible, which would help in making it more robust and reusable. This becomes key when more and more features are added to the ...
