Decorator Pattern

Decorator pattern is to enhance existing function, decorator and original class implement same interface, from implementation it's close to proxy pattern.

The difference between decorator and proxy is, decorator is to enhance existing function, after that we still have the object instance, it's just the way to implement it has been enhanced; but proxy is normally we want to hide original object instance, we want to give a proxy implementation and may give additional steps before or after orignial method.

From above part, we can see proxy pattern is also close to adapter pattern, but in proxy pattern, proxied class and proxy class they will implement same interface, in adapter pattern normally we use it because adapter class and adaptee class implement different interface, hence we use adapter to covert the implementation.

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DecoratorFilter decorator = new DecoratorFilter(new DecoratorBeauty(new Phone()));
        decorator.takePhotograph();
    }
}
