3.7. Null Object
3.7.1. Amaç
Boş Nesne, bir Dörtlü Takım (Gang of Four) tasarım deseni değildir. Ancak, bir şemadır ve görünen o ki sıklıkla bir desen olarak ele alınmaktadır.Aşağıdaki yararlıklara sahiptir:
Client code is simplified
Reduces the chance of null pointer exceptions
Fewer conditionals require less test cases
Bir nesne veya boş (null) döndüren nesneler, bunun yerine yine bir nesne veya NullObject
döndürür. NullObject
, istemci kodundaki koşullu kontrolü (if) atarak, yani if (!is_null($object)) $object->callSomething()
yerine yalnızca $object->callSomething()
kısmının kullanılabilmesini sağlayarak, ortak kodu (boilerplate) basitleştirmiştir.
3.7.2. Örnekler
Null logger or null output to preserve a standard way of interaction between objects, even if the shouldn’t do anything
null handler in a Chain of Responsibilities pattern
null command in a Command pattern
