Example of the bridge pattern in Swift

bridge-pattern.swift

// Bridge pattern (Structural)
//
// Decouples an abstraction from its implementation, so that the two can vary independently.
// Accomplished by seperating two interacting features and then creating a bridge type to
// handle where they overlap
protocol Database {
    func closeConnection()
    func openConnection()
    func saveRecord(recordToSave: Record)
}

    var savedToDb: Bool { get set }
    
    func printRecord()
    mutating func updateAsSavedToDb()
    func verifyRecord() -> Record
}

struct SqlDb: Database {
    func closeConnection() {
        print("Closing Connection...")
    }
