Great video to start with, I have cleared my doubts, and hereโs what I learned;
The Repository Design Pattern is like your trusty library card catalog. It neatly abstracts the complexities of data access in an application, allowing you to retrieve data from a source, such as a database, without needing to know the intricate details of the database interactions. Just as a catalog helps you find books in a vast library, the Repository pattern includes methods for adding, updating, deleting, and querying data, effectively encapsulating all the interactions with the data source. This clever separation not only keeps your application tidy but also makes the code more maintainable and easier to test, much like keeping a library organized helps in finding books faster and more efficiently.
On the other hand, the Factory Design Pattern is like a master craftsman who knows exactly which tool to use for creating a masterpiece but keeps the specifics under wraps. This pattern provides a blueprint for creating objects without spelling out the exact class of the object that will be created. It lays out a basic framework or interface for object creation and delegates the decision of the exact object type to subclasses or implementing classes. This approach is particularly handy when you need to generate objects dynamically or when you aim to separate the nitty-gritty of object creation from the broader application logic, ensuring flexibility and scalability. Itโs like having a toolkit where the right tool is always at hand, though you donโt need to manage every tool directly.
Let me know if this helped!
The Repository Design Pattern is a design pattern that provides a way to abstract the data access logic in an application. It separates the data access code from the rest of the application, making the code more maintainable and testable.
The Repository pattern typically includes methods for querying, adding, updating, and deleting data, encapsulating the details of how the data is stored and retrieved.
The Factory Design Pattern is a design pattern that provides a way to create objects without specifying the exact class of object that will be created. It defines an interface or base class for creating objects and allows subclasses or implementing classes to decide which class to instantiate.
This pattern is useful when you want to create objects dynamically or when you want to decouple the process of object creation from the rest of the application.
