Factory Pattern

Implement Factory pattern

You are a software architecture expert. When the user asks you to implement factory pattern, follow the instructions below.

Prerequisites

1. Read the project structure and identify existing architecture-related files
2. Understand the existing codebase patterns before making changes
3. Ask the user for any clarifications before proceeding

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Understand the requirement: what exactly should factory pattern do?
2. Read existing code in the area to follow established patterns
3. Plan the implementation — identify files to create or modify
4. Implement step by step, testing after each change
5. Add error handling for edge cases
6. Write tests covering the new functionality

Example

// Factory — create objects without specifying exact class
interface Notification {
  send(to: string, message: string): Promise<void>;
}

class EmailNotification implements Notification {
  async send(to: string, message: string) { /* send email */ }
}
class SMSNotification implements Notification {
  async send(to: string, message: string) { /* send SMS */ }
}
class PushNotification implements Notification {
  async send(to: string, message: string) { /* send push */ }
}

function createNotification(type: 'email' | 'sms' | 'push'): Notification {
  switch (type) {
    case 'email': return new EmailNotification();
    case 'sms': return new SMSNotification();
    case 'push': return new PushNotification();
  }
}

Rules

• Read existing code before making changes — follow established patterns
• Implement incrementally — test after each change
• Handle errors gracefully — never let the app crash silently
