Introduction

Details and other patterns will be written in ** Understanding design patterns by comparing implementations in JavaScript and Java **. I wrote an example of JavaScript by looking at Java. We do not take advantage of differences in features such as class type / prototype type, typed strength, and access modifiers. Please note.

State pattern

Expressing "state" as a class state means "state (state of things)"

Implementation example in Java

Consider a vault security system where the security status changes with time

Characters in the State pattern

State role

Represents the state A collection of methods that behave in a state-dependent manner Sample program ⇒ State (interface)

The role of Concreate State

Representing specific individual states Sample program ⇒ DayState (class), NightState (class)

The role of Context (situation, context, context)

Represents the current state Sample program ⇒ Context (interface)

State pattern class diagram

Need for State pattern

You can also change the movement by seeing the change in the state with an if statement or switch statement.

`Sample.java`


public void method1(Status) {
  if (State A) {
    System.out.println("Since the state A Hello");
  }
  if (State B) {
    System.out.println("Good evening because it is in state B");
  }
}

public void method2(Status) {
  if (State A) {
    System.out.println("Hello because it is in state A");
  }
  if (State B) {
    System.out.println("Good evening because it is in state B");
  }
}

But programmers have to be aware of the difference in state every time. Many places have to be edited when states are added If the state is expressed as a class, "change of state" can be expressed by switching the class.

Easy to understand because you only have to add the ConcreateState role when adding a new state
