🧠 Overview
This project contains implementations of Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns that can have generic abstractions.
It provides reusable, extensible examples of how to apply these patterns in modern .NET development.
The following GoF Design Pattern categories are included:
🏗️ Creational
Creational patterns provide various object creation mechanisms, which increase flexibility and reuse of existing code.
- Abstract Factory
- Builder
- Prototype
- Factory Method
- Singleton
🧱 Structural
Structural patterns explain how to assemble objects and classes into larger structures while keeping these structures flexible and efficient.
- Adapter
- Bridge
- Composite
🔁 Behavioral
Behavioral design patterns are concerned with algorithms and the assignment of responsibilities between objects.
- Chain of Responsibility
- Command
- Strategy
- Visitor
