mobiRic / Composition
Last active June 15, 2018 17:24
Some thoughts and sample code I have put together to try and explain concepts during the Google Africa ALC v2.0 Udacity course.
Here's the followup, which is called *composition*. This pattern is favoured in React Native and Flutter, and seems to be gaining popularity. Instead of extending from one class, we wrap one class in another. Some people say it is much better - I leave that up to the team to read up on.
Here I'm going to have an immutable `message` in some `HandWriting`. Anyone can look at the message by calling `HandWriting.readMe()` which is my fun example of a "getter" type method. We could rename it to `getMessage()` if you really want.
I also have a `Letter` that I'm writing to a friend.
It doesn't really make sense to `extend HandWriting` because a letter is a slightly different concept to the writing inside it.
But the `Letter` does contain some writing. Also has a friend's name that we are sending it to.
Of course, to say that you are reading the Letter, also means you are reading the HandWriting on the letter, right? So the "getter" on the Letter should call into the getter on the HandWriting.
