- Abstract factory is a creational design pattern, It define an interface which will create families of related or dependents object without the requirement of specifying the exact concrete classes that will be used.
- This is all about a factory creating various
object at run time based on user demand.
Examples:
Consider you are creating electronic product management application. The first version of your application can handle only mobile phone, so the bulk of your code lives in a mobile phone class.
After a while, your application becomes so popular that you get huge request to include laptop as well. The same time company planning to extend the old product category for client satisfaction. They are planning to extend mobile phone in smart phone & normal phone categories. The same plan to apply new product ((i.e.). laptop) as well. Factory method pattern doesn’t resolve this problem because it involves multiple factories and products which are related to the parent company. To overcome this problem Abstract Factory Pattern come to this place. It allow to create multiple factories & products [(i.e.). products -> product categories -> product sub-categories -> etc…..]

Drawbacks: - It support new kinds of products is difficult. Extending abstract factories to produce new kinds of Products isn’t easy. That’s because the AbstractFactory interface fixes the set of products that can be created. Supporting new kinds of products requires extending the factory interface, which involves changing the AbstractFactory class and all of its subclasses.
- It makes exchanging product families easy. The class of a concrete factory appears only once in an application – that is, where it’s instantiated. This makes it easy to change the concrete factory an application uses. It can use different product configurations simply by changing the concrete factory. Because an abstract factory creates a complete family of products, the whole product family changes at once.
Sample Demo Program:
The following participants are involved in given program
- AbstractFactory - Declares an interface for operations that create abstract products
- ConcreteFactory - Implements the operations to create concrete product objects
- AbstractProduct - Declares an interface for a type of product object
- Product=> Defines a product object to be created by the corresponding concrete factory
=> Implements the AbstractProduct interface - Client - This is a class which use AbstractFactory and AbstractProduct interfaces to create a family of related objects
