Design Patterns for Ruby

Design Patterns

Creational Patterns

Design patterns that deal with object creation mechanisms, trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the situation.

• Abstract Factory - For creating and using families of related/dependent objects
• Builder - For creating different types of complex objects step by step
• Factory Method - For creating one type of object out of many which can be used in its place
• Prototype - Up next.
• Singleton - Coming soon ( Explain Ruby's singleton too )

About reading code and running tests

The code is heavily documented, and has 100% test coverage. Browse through the Documentation online. It contains explanations of each pattern example. It's also recommended to go throught the tests in spec/ directory to get an idea of how the examples work.

To run the tests :

bundle install
rake

Contributing

Step 1 : Fork

Step 2 :

1. Add Ruby examples to Design Patterns.
2. Each example should have 100% green test coverage.
3. Each example should have RDocs/YARDocs that explain what each class does.
4. Each pattern should have its own README.md explaining it.
5. If there is a Ruby way that bakes in the pattern in the language, do not re-invent the wheel and show the Ruby way. Explain how the example works.
