Decorator Pattern

Take a DarkRoast object
Decorate it with a Mocha object
3 Decorate it with a Whip object
4 Call the cost() method and rely on
delegation to add on the condiment costs

The Decorator Pattern attaches additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality.

We wrap initial class with decorators of the same class with additional methods(?) while adding costs to super.

Abstractions

public abstract class Beverage {
	String description = "Unknown Beverage";
  
	public String getDescription() {
		return description;
	}
 
	public abstract double cost();
}

public abstract class CondimentDecorator extends Beverage {
	public abstract String getDescription();
}

Implementations

public class Espresso extends Beverage {
  
	public Espresso() {
		description = "Espresso";
	}
  
	public double cost() {
		return 1.99;
	}
}

public class HouseBlend extends Beverage {
	public HouseBlend() {
		description = "House Blend Coffee";
	}
 
	public double cost() {
		return .89;
	}
}

public class Mocha extends CondimentDecorator {
	Beverage beverage;
 
	public Mocha(Beverage beverage) {
		this.beverage = beverage;
	}
 
	public String getDescription() {
		return beverage.getDescription() + ", Mocha";
	}
 
	public double cost() {
		return .20 + beverage.cost();
	}
}

Runner

public class StarbuzzCoffee {
 
	public static void main(String args[]) {
		Beverage beverage = new Espresso();
		System.out.println(beverage.getDescription() 
				+ " $" + beverage.cost());
 
		Beverage beverage2 = new DarkRoast();
		beverage2 = new Mocha(beverage2);
		beverage2 = new Mocha(beverage2);
		beverage2 = new Whip(beverage2);
		System.out.println(beverage2.getDescription() 
				+ " $" + beverage2.cost());
 
		Beverage beverage3 = new HouseBlend();
		beverage3 = new Soy(beverage3);
		beverage3 = new Mocha(beverage3);
		beverage3 = new Whip(beverage3);
		System.out.println(beverage3.getDescription() 
				+ " $" + beverage3.cost());
	}
}
