C O M M A N D Encapsulate a request as an object, thereby letting you parameterize clients with different requests, queue or log requests, and support undoable operations.

D E C O R AT O R Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality.

require 'singleton' class Settings include Singleton end Settings.new # => raises an error Settings.instance # Settings.instance # Settings.instance # S I N G L E T O N - C O D E
O B S E R V E R Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically.
O B S E R V E R - U S E C A S E • I’m writing a text editor • I want to implement styles • All pieces of text having specific style should change when this style changes
class Style def update(attrs) attrs.each { |k,v| send(:"#{k}=", v) } notify_observers end def notify_observers @observers.each { |o| o.notify(self) } end def add_observer(observer) @observers << observer end end O B S E R V E R - C O D E
T E M P L AT E M E T H O D Define the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses. Template Method lets subclasses redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm's structure.
A D A P T E R Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise because of incompatible interfaces.
FA C A D E Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem. Facade defines a higher-level interface that makes the subsystem easier to use.
