Learning JavaScript Design Patterns
Let us now proceed to review the table.
Creational | Based on the concept of creating an object. | ||||||
Class | |||||||
Factory Method | This makes an instance of several derived classes based on interfaced data or events. | ||||||
Object | |||||||
Abstract Factory | Creates an instance of several families of classes without detailing concrete classes. | ||||||
Builder | Separates object construction from its representation, always creates the same type of object. | ||||||
Prototype | A fully initialized instance used for copying or cloning. | ||||||
Singleton | A class with only a single instance with global access points. | ||||||

Structural | Based on the idea of building blocks of objects | ||||||
Class | |||||||
Adapter | Match interfaces of different classes therefore classes can work together despite incompatible interfaces | ||||||
Object | |||||||
Adapter | Match interfaces of different classes therefore classes can work together despite incompatible interfaces | ||||||
Bridge | Separates an object's interface from its implementation so the two can vary independently | ||||||
Composite | A structure of simple and composite objects which makes the total object more than just the sum of its parts. | ||||||
Decorator | Dynamically add alternate processing to objects. | ||||||
Facade | A single class that hides the complexity of an entire subsystem. | ||||||
Flyweight | A fine-grained instance used for efficient sharing of information that is contained elsewhere. | ||||||
Proxy | A place holder object representing the true object | ||||||
| |||||||
Behavioral | Based on the way objects play and work together. | ||||||
Class | |||||||
Interpreter | A way to include language elements in an application to match the grammar of the intended language. | ||||||
Template | Creates the shell of an algorithm in a method, then defer the exact steps to a subclass. | ||||||
Object | |||||||
Chain of | A way of passing a request between a chain of objects to find the object that can handle the request. | ||||||
Command | Encapsulate a command request as an object to enable, logging and/or queuing of requests, and provides error-handling for unhandled requests. | ||||||
Iterator | Sequentially access the elements of a collection without knowing the inner workings of the collection. | ||||||
Mediator | Defines simplified communication between classes to prevent a group of classes from referring explicitly to each other. | ||||||
Memento | Capture an object's internal state to be able to restore it later. | ||||||
Observer | A way of notifying change to a number of classes to ensure consistency between the classes. | ||||||
State | Alter an object's behavior when its state changes | ||||||
Strategy | Encapsulates an algorithm inside a class separating the selection from the implementation | ||||||
Visitor | Adds a new operation to a class without changing the class | ||||||
