Constructor Prototype Pattern prototype pattern (PHP example), prototypepattern

When most of a class is the same and only some parts are different, if a large number of objects of this class are needed, Repeatedly instantiating the same parts each time is expensive, and if you clone the same parts of the object before, you can save money.

An implementation method for PHP is to handle the initialization of this class separately with the __construct() and initialize functions. The prototype is placed in construct, which is the public part, and the special part of each object is placed in initialize. In this way, we first create a class without initializing it, and then clone this class and then initialize it every time.

This is mentioned in the zend framework official manual http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/user-guide/database-and-models.html, but it is not explained in detail. Let me analyze it below.

1. Introduction

There is an albumTable class in the zf2 model, which is equivalent to an assistant class for operating database actions, and tablegateway is used in it.

In order to initialize the albumtable with the same class every time, the initialization work is placed in getServiceConfig() of the module.php file in the root directory, which uses the factory mode, and through the callback function, when each ServiceManager ($sm ) will automatically create an alumTable when an object needs to be instantiated. We can see from the code below that creating an albumTable also requires creating an AlbumTableGateWay in the same way. This class uses the prototype pattern we are going to talk about.

2. Detailed code explanation

 <span>public</span> <span>function</span><span> getServiceConfig()
    {
        </span><span>return</span> <span>array</span><span>(
            </span>'factories' => <span>array</span><span>(
                </span>'Album\Model\AlbumTable' =>  <span>function</span>(<span>$sm</span><span>) {
                    </span><span>$tableGateway</span> = <span>$sm</span>->get('AlbumTableGateway'<span>);
                    </span><span>$table</span> = <span>new</span> AlbumTable(<span>$tableGateway</span><span>);
                    </span><span>return</span> <span>$table</span><span>;
                }</span>,
                'AlbumTableGateway' => <span>function</span> (<span>$sm</span><span>) {
                    </span><span>$dbAdapter</span> = <span>$sm</span>->get('Zend\Db\Adapter\Adapter'<span>);
                    </span><span>$resultSetPrototype</span> = <span>new</span><span> ResultSet();
                    </span><span>$resultSetPrototype</span>->setArrayObjectPrototype(<span>new</span> Album());<span>//</span><span>这个就是一个不变的原型</span>
                    <span>return</span> <span>new</span> TableGateway('album', <span>$dbAdapter</span>, <span>null</span>, <span>$resultSetPrototype</span>);<span>//</span><span>传入到TableGateWay的构造函数中去</span>
                },<span>
            )</span>,<span>
        );
    }</span>

Note that it is not TableGateWay that uses the prototype pattern but the ResultSet class. Whenever the tablegateway calls methods such as select() or insert(), a ResultSet will be created to represent the result. The common parts of these ResultSets will be cloned, and unique partial classes such as data will be initialized.

3. More code examples

In order to understand this prototype more clearly, let’s put aside the big framework of zend and look at a complete code example. Example from

The first half of this article about prototype pattern is actually a mixture of how to use inheritance in constructors to improve scalability. The two patterns may not seem easy to understand. Let’s look directly at the final code part about prototype pattern. .

<?<span>php
</span><span>//</span><span>框架中很常见的adapter类，用来适配各种数据库，封装一些基本数据库连接操作。
//相当于上面代码中的adapter类</span>
<span>class</span><span> DbAdapter {

        </span><span>return</span> <span>$arrayOfData</span><span>;
    }
}

</span><span>//</span><span>运用prototype pattern的类，注意construct和initialize是分开的
//相当于上面zend 代码里面的ResultSet类</span>
<span>class</span><span> RowGateway {

    </span><span>public</span> <span>function</span> __construct(DbAdapter <span>$dbAdapter</span>, <span>$tableName</span><span>) {
        </span><span>$this</span>->dbAdapter = <span>$dbAdapter</span><span>;
        </span><span>$this</span>->tableName = <span>$tableName</span><span>;
    }

    </span><span>public</span> <span>function</span> initialize(<span>$data</span><span>) {
        </span><span>$this</span>->data = <span>$data</span><span>;
    }

    </span><span>/*</span><span>*
     * Both methods require access to the database adapter
     * to fulfill their duties

    </span><span>public</span> <span>function</span><span> delete() {}
    </span><span>public</span> <span>function</span><span> refresh() {}

}

</span><span>//</span><span>相当于上面代码中的TableGateway类，关于gateway可以具体去了解一下。</span>

            </span><span>$row</span>->initialize(<span>$rowData</span><span>);
        }
        </span><span>return</span> <span>$rows</span><span>;
    }

These classes actually correspond to the classes in the zend code above

Dbadapter -- adpater

RowGateWay -- ResultSet

UserRepository - TableGateWay

See the comments in the code for details.

The RowGateWay here can clearly see that a large number of instantiations are required in getusers, so the prototype mode is very necessary.

The following is the code to use this class

<span>class</span> ReadWriteRowGateway <span>extends</span><span> RowGateway {
    </span><span>public</span> <span>function</span> __construct(DbAdapter <span>$readDbAdapter</span>, DbAdapter <span>$writeDbAdapter</span>, <span>$tableName</span><span>) {
        </span><span>$this</span>->readDbAdapter = <span>$readDbAdapter</span><span>;
        parent</span>::__construct(<span>$writeDbAdapter</span>, <span>$tableName</span><span>);
    }

    </span><span>public</span> <span>function</span><span> refresh() {
        </span><span>//</span><span> utilize $this->readDbAdapter instead of $this->dbAdapter in RowGateway base implementation</span>
<span>    }
}


</span><span>//</span><span> usage:</span>
<span>$userRepository</span> = <span>new</span><span> UserRepository(
    </span><span>$dbAdapter</span>,
    <span>new</span> ReadWriteRowGateway(<span>$readDbAdapter</span>, <span>$writeDbAdapter</span>, 'user'<span>)
);
</span><span>$users</span> = <span>$userRepository</span>-><span>getUsers();
</span><span>$user</span> = <span>$users</span>[0]; <span>//</span><span> instance of ReadWriteRowGateway with a specific row of data from the db</span>
