Multistage Processing
Explore multistage processing by learning how to apply the Chain of Responsibility and Builder design patterns in C#. Understand how to manage conditional logic flows effectively, control processing order, and build objects step by step to create flexible and maintainable software solutions.
Problem statement
Let’s imagine that we need to implement a logic that requires multiple stages of processing, possibly involving conditional logic.
One example of this would be a validation of HTTP requests. First, we might want to see whether the incoming request matches any allowed paths in our application. Then, we might want to check whether the user is authenticated. After that, we might want to check whether the user is allowed to access the particular resource that the request was made for.
In this situation, we might want to short-circuit this flow as soon as ...
