Design Pattern PrototypeAuthor:

OverviewPrototype is a creational pattern.
This pattern encapsulate the knowledge about which classes a system users, but they hide the details of how the instances of these classes are created and put together.
2
Intent
Specify the kind of objects to create using a prototypical instance, and create new objects by copying this prototype.
3
4
Applicability• When the classes to instance are
specified at run-time, for example, by dynamic loading
• To avoid building a class hierarchy of factories that parallels the class hierarchy of products
• When instance of a class can have one of only a few different combinations of state.

Participant• Prototype–Declares an interface for cloning itself
• Concrete Prototype– Implements an operation for cloning itself
• Client–Creates a new object by asking a prototype
to clone itself
7
Consequences• Adding and removing products at run-time• Specifying new objects by varying values• Specifying new objects by varying structure• Reduced subclassing• Configuring an application with classes
dynamically
8
Copy options
• Deep Copy (implementation in user code), but in some languages exist functions which do it
• Simple object clone (standard function MemberwiseClone())
Simple Copy • C#
• Ruby

Related PatternsPrototype and Abstract Factory are
competing patterns. They can also be used together, however. An Abstract Factory might store a set prototypes from which to clone and return product objects.
Designs that make heavy use of the Composite and Decorator patterns often can benefit from Prototype as well.
