Factory Design Pattern:

  • It falls under Creational Design Pattern.
  • Factory pattern says that object creation will be handled by another class using the input type.

Advantages:

  • It allows loose-coupling.

When to use Factory Design Pattern?

  • Factory design pattern is used when we have a superclass with multiple sub-classes and based on the input, we need to return one of the sub-class.
  • Example: If a Restaurant serves Veg food, Non-Veg food, and Italian food. 
  • Treat VegFood, NonVegFood, and ItalianFood as three classes whose superclass is Food.
  • If a customer asks "Veg" then Factory method would return the "VegFood" class.
