Decorator

Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality. The pattern has structural purpose and applies to objects.

When to use

  • to add responsibilities to individual objects dynamically and transparently, that is, without affecting other objects
  • for responsibilities that can be withdrawn
  • when extension by subclassing is impractical
