Facade Pattern in Go

Overview

This repository demonstrates the application of the Facade design pattern in Go. The project highlights how to provide a simplified interface to a complex subsystem, showcasing flexibility and best practices in design patterns and unit testing.

Pattern Description

The Facade pattern provides a simplified interface to a complex subsystem, making it easier to use and understand. In this project, we have implemented subsystems and a Facade to demonstrate this pattern effectively.

Project Structure

• cmd/: Contains the application entry point (main.go), demonstrating the creation and usage of the Facade.
• pkg/facade/: Houses the Facade implementation and its subsystems.
  • component.go: Defines the Component interface.
  • subsystem_a.go: Implements the SubsystemA.
  • subsystem_b.go: Implements the SubsystemB.
  • subsystem_c.go: Implements the SubsystemC.
  • facade.go: Implements the Facade.
  • subsystem_a_test.go: Unit tests for SubsystemA.
  • subsystem_b_test.go: Unit tests for SubsystemB.
  • subsystem_c_test.go: Unit tests for SubsystemC.
  • facade_test.go: Unit tests for the Facade.
