Factory Method Design Pattern

The Factory Method Pattern promotes loose coupling by encapsulating object creation logic in a separate method or class. Instead of directly instantiating objects using a constructor, clients rely on factory methods to create instances of objects.

class Vehicle {
  constructor() {
    if (this.constructor === Vehicle) {
      throw new Error("Vehicle cannot be instantiated directly.");
    }
  }
  display() {
    console.log("This is a generic vehicle.");
  }
}

and

// Concrete Products
class Car extends Vehicle {
  display() {
    console.log("This is a car.");
  }
}

class Motorcycle extends Vehicle {
  display() {
    console.log("This is a motorcycle.");
  }
}

here is the Factory

class VehicleFactory {
  createVehicle() {
    throw new Error("createVehicle method must be implemented.");
  }
}

// Concrete Creator classes
class CarFactory extends VehicleFactory {
  createVehicle() {
    return new Car();
  }
}


class MotorcycleFactory extends VehicleFactory {
  createVehicle() {
    return new Motorcycle();
  }
}

// Usage
const carFactory = new CarFactory();
const car = carFactory.createVehicle();
car.display(); // Output: This is a car.

const motorcycleFactory = new MotorcycleFactory();
const motorcycle = motorcycleFactory.createVehicle();
motorcycle.display(); // Output: This is a motorcycle.

VehicleFactory serves as the creator class with a factory method createVehicle, which is responsible for creating instances of concrete products.

The Factory Method Pattern provides a flexible and scalable way to create objects by encapsulating object creation logic
