TypeScript 5 Design Patterns and Best Practices - Second Edition
By :
The Strategy pattern is a behavioral design pattern that encapsulates a family of algorithms within a common interface, making them interchangeable at runtime. This powerful pattern allows a system to dynamically alter its behavior by switching between different implementations of a specific process or business logic.
At its heart, this abstraction is conceptually straightforward yet profoundly impactful, as it enables a system to adapt its behavior without modifying its core structure. To determine if this pattern is suitable for your use case, follow the next subsection considerations.
Note
While the Strategy pattern provides flexibility and maintainability, frequent switching between strategies can introduce performance overhead, especially when switching triggers side effects. Each time a strategy is changed, the system may need to instantiate a new strategy object, which can be costly in terms of performance, particularly if this occurs in a tight...
