Strategy pattern

Defines a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one and make them interchangeable.Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently of client that use it.

Design Principle

  • Identify the aspects of your application that vary and separate them from what stay the same
  • Program to an interface, not an implementation
  • Favor composition over inheritance

Usage:

The example code is for a simple SimUDuck app

    use App\Strategy\Duck\FlyRocketPowered;
    use App\Strategy\Duck\MallardDuck;
    use App\Strategy\Duck\ModelDuck;

    $duck = new MallardDuck();
    $duck->fly();
    $duck->quack();
    $duck->display();
    $duck->swim();
    
   // model duck don't know how to fly at creation 
    $model = new ModelDuck();
    $model->fly();
    $model->quack();
    
    // enable model duck to fly using a rocket 
    $model->setFlyBehaviour(new FlyRocketPowered());
    $model->fly();
    $model->display();
    $model->swim();
