Structural Design Patterns

In the previous chapter, we covered creational patterns and object-oriented programming patterns that help us with object-creation procedures. The next category of pattern we want to present is structural design patterns. A structural design pattern proposes a way of composing objects to provide new functionality.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

• The adapter pattern
• The decorator pattern
• The bridge pattern
• The facade pattern
• The flyweight pattern
• The proxy pattern

At the end of this chapter, you will be equipped with the skills to structure your code efficiently and elegantly using structural design patterns.
