Chapter 7. Structural Design Patterns
The next stop of our journey through design patterns will focus on the family of structural design patterns. We will be doing a Scala point of view exploration of the following structural design patterns:
- Adapter
- Decorator
- Bridge
- Composite
- Facade
- Flyweight
- Proxy
This chapter will give a better understanding of what structural design patterns are and why they are useful. After familiarizing ourselves with what they are, we will be looking into each of them separately and in detail including code examples and hints about when to use each of them and when to avoid them as well as what to be careful with when using them.
