Design Patterns Cheat Sheet & Visual Map

1️⃣Cheat Sheet
Creational Patterns
 Singleton: “Only one instance exists.” Use for shared resources.
 Factory Method: “Delegate object creation.” Use when client should
not know subclass.
 Abstract Factory: “Factory of factories.” Use for related families of
objects.
 Builder: “Step-by-step construction.” Use for complex objects.
 Prototype: “Clone existing object.” Use for costly object creation.

Structural Patterns
 Adapter: “Convert interface to expected one.” Integrate legacy code.
 Bridge: “Separate abstraction from implementation.” Vary
independently.
 Composite: “Treat group and individual uniformly.” Use for tree
structures.
 Decorator: “Add behavior dynamically.” Extend functionality.
 Facade: “Simplify complex subsystem.” Unified entry point.
 Flyweight: “Share common state.” Reduce memory usage.
 Proxy: “Control access to object.” Lazy load, logging, security.

Behavioral Patterns
 Chain of Responsibility: “Pass request along chain.” Multiple handlers.
 Command: “Encapsulate request as object.” Queue, log, undo.
 Interpreter: “Represent grammar rules as classes.” Parse expressions.
 Iterator: “Access elements without exposing structure.” Traverse
collections.
 Mediator: “Central hub for communication.” Reduce coupling.
 Memento: “Capture and restore state.” Undo/redo.
 Observer: “One-to-many notification.” State change triggers reactions.
 State: “Behavior changes with internal state.” Change behavior
dynamically.
 Strategy: “Choose algorithm at runtime.” Select algorithms
dynamically.
 Template Method: “Skeleton algorithm with customizable steps.”
Reuse structure.
 Visitor: “Add operations without changing object structure.” Separate
operations.
