Chain of Responsibility em Ruby

O Chain of Responsibility é um padrão de projeto comportamental que permite passar a solicitação ao longo da cadeia de handlers em potencial até que um deles lide com a solicitação.

O padrão permite que vários objetos tratem a solicitação sem acoplar a classe remetente às classes concretas dos destinatários. A cadeia pode ser composta dinamicamente em tempo de execução com qualquer handler que siga uma interface de handler padrão.

Uso do padrão em Ruby

Complexidade:

Popularidade:

Exemplos de uso: O padrão Chain of Responsibility não é um padrão frequente em um programa Ruby, pois é relevante apenas quando o código opera com cadeias de objetos.

Identificação: O padrão é reconhecível pelos métodos comportamentais de um grupo de objetos que indiretamente chamam os mesmos métodos em outros objetos, enquanto todos os objetos seguem a interface comum.

Exemplo conceitual

Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Chain of Responsibility. Ele se concentra em responder a estas perguntas:

De quais classes ele consiste?
Quais papéis essas classes desempenham?
De que maneira os elementos do padrão estão relacionados?

main.rb: Exemplo conceitual

# The Handler interface declares a method for building the chain of handlers. It
# also declares a method for executing a request.
class Handler
  # @abstract
  #
  # @param [Handler] handler
  def next_handler=(handler)
    raise NotImplementedError, "#{self.class} has not implemented method '#{__method__}'"
  end

  # @abstract
  #
  # @param [String] request
  #
  # @return [String, nil]
  def handle(request)
    raise NotImplementedError, "#{self.class} has not implemented method '#{__method__}'"
  end
end

# The default chaining behavior can be implemented inside a base handler class.
class AbstractHandler < Handler
  # @return [Handler]
  attr_writer :next_handler

  # @param [Handler] handler
  #
  # @return [Handler]
  def next_handler(handler)
    @next_handler = handler
    # Returning a handler from here will let us link handlers in a convenient
    # way like this:
    # monkey.next_handler(squirrel).next_handler(dog)
    handler
  end

  # @abstract
  #
  # @param [String] request
  #
  # @return [String, nil]
  def handle(request)
    return @next_handler.handle(request) if @next_handler

    nil
  end
end

# All Concrete Handlers either handle a request or pass it to the next handler
# in the chain.
class MonkeyHandler < AbstractHandler
  # @param [String] request
  #
  # @return [String, nil]
  def handle(request)
    if request == 'Banana'
      "Monkey: I'll eat the #{request}"
    else
      super(request)
    end
  end
end

class SquirrelHandler < AbstractHandler
  # @param [String] request
  #
  # @return [String, nil]
  def handle(request)
    if request == 'Nut'
      "Squirrel: I'll eat the #{request}"
    else
      super(request)
    end
  end
end

class DogHandler < AbstractHandler
  # @param [String] request
  #
  # @return [String, nil]
  def handle(request)
    if request == 'MeatBall'
      "Dog: I'll eat the #{request}"
    else
      super(request)
    end
  end
end

# The client code is usually suited to work with a single handler. In most
# cases, it is not even aware that the handler is part of a chain.
def client_code(handler)
  ['Nut', 'Banana', 'Cup of coffee'].each do |food|
    puts "\nClient: Who wants a #{food}?"
    result = handler.handle(food)
    if result
      print "  #{result}"
    else
      print "  #{food} was left untouched."
    end
  end
end

monkey = MonkeyHandler.new
squirrel = SquirrelHandler.new
dog = DogHandler.new

monkey.next_handler(squirrel).next_handler(dog)

# The client should be able to send a request to any handler, not just the first
# one in the chain.
puts 'Chain: Monkey > Squirrel > Dog'
client_code(monkey)
puts "\n\n"

puts 'Subchain: Squirrel > Dog'
client_code(squirrel)
