TypeScript Design Patterns

By: Vilic Vane

Overview of this book

In programming, there are several problems that occur frequently. To solve these problems, there are various repeatable solutions that are known as design patterns. Design patterns are a great way to improve the efficiency of your programs and improve your productivity. This book is a collection of the most important patterns you need to improve your applications’ performance and your productivity. The journey starts by explaining the current challenges when designing and developing an application and how you can solve these challenges by applying the correct design pattern and best practices. Each pattern is accompanied with rich examples that demonstrate the power of patterns for a range of tasks, from building an application to code testing. We’ll introduce low-level programming concepts to help you write TypeScript code, as well as work with software architecture, best practices, and design aspects.

Preface

Façade Pattern


The Façade Pattern organizes subsystems and provides a unified higher-level interface. An example that might be familiar to you is a modular system. In JavaScript (and of course TypeScript), people use modules to organize code. A modular system makes projects easier to maintain, as a clean project structure can help reveal the interconnections among different parts of the project.

It is common that one project gets referenced by others, but obviously the project that references other projects doesn't and shouldn't care much about the inner structures of its dependencies. Thus a façade can be introduced for a dependency project to provide a higher-level API and expose what really matters to its dependents.

Take a robot as an example. People who build a robot and its components will need to control every part separately and let them cooperate at the same time. However, people who want to use this robot would only need to send simple commands like "walk" and "jump".

For the most...
