Memento Pattern

Command Pattern 


Gamma Categorization: Behavioral Design Pattern
Summary: Without violating encapsulation, capture and externalize an object's internal state so that the object can be restored to this state later.

Sample Code

Problem: We want to apply several commands on the digital camera.

Code

public class DigitalCameraFirmware
{
    public string Name { getset; }
    public byte[] Data { getset; }

    public Memento SaveMemento()
    {
        return new Memento(NameData);
    }

    public void RestoreMemento(Memento memento)
    {
        this.Name = memento.Name;
        this.Data = memento.Data;
    }
}

public class Memento
{
    public string Name { getprivate set; }
    public byte[] Data { getprivate set; }

    public Memento(string namebyte[] data)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.Data = data;
    }
}

public class FirmwareMemory
{
    private Memento _memento;

    public Memento Memento
    {
        set { _memento = value; }
        get { return _memento; }
    }
}

Usage

var cameraFirmware = new DigitalCameraFirmware { Name = "v1.0"Data = new byte[1024] };

System.Console.WriteLine($"Current firmware version: {cameraFirmware.Name}");

FirmwareMemory memory = new FirmwareMemory();
memory.Memento = cameraFirmware.SaveMemento();

cameraFirmware.Name = "v2.0";
cameraFirmware.Data = new byte[1024];

System.Console.WriteLine($"Current firmware version: {cameraFirmware.Name}");

// something fails with the new firmware, so we want to restore the previous one
cameraFirmware.RestoreMemento(memory.Memento);

System.Console.WriteLine($"Current firmware version: {cameraFirmware.Name}");

Output

Current firmware version: v1.0
Current firmware version: v2.0
Current firmware version: v1.0

SOLID (4/5) - Interface segregation principle

Interface segregation principle In the field of software engineering, the interface-segregation principle (ISP) states that no client should be forced to depend on methods it does not use. ISP splits interfaces that are very large into smaller and more specific ones so that clients will only have to know about the methods that are of interest to them. Such shrunken interfaces are also called role interfaces. ISP is intended to keep a system decoupled and thus easier to refactor, change, and redeploy. using   System ; namespace   interfacesegregation {      public   class   Document       {     }      public   interface   IMachine       {          void   Print ( Document   d );          void   Scan ( Document   d );     ...
