Abstract factory pattern provides a way to obtain an coherent collection of objects through a collection of factories functions. As for every pattern, coupling is reduced by abstracting the way a set of objects are created, so that the user code is unaware of the many details of the objects he needs...

Factories can be used in conjunction with Inversion of Control (IoC) libraries too. The typical use case for such a factory is when we want to create an object based on parameters that are not known until run-time (such as the current User). In these cases it can be sometimes be difficult (if no...

Whenever you declare a new rule inside another rule it is called nesting. With basic nesting, as shown below, the nested selector will be compiled as a new CSS selector with all its parents prepended, separated by a space. // SCSS .parent { margin: 1rem; .child { float: left; } ...

Nesting is a very powerful feature, but should be used with caution. It can happen quite easily and quickly, that you start nesting and carry on including all children in a nest, of a nest, of a nest. Let me demonstrate: // SCSS header { // [css-rules] .holder { // [css-rules] ...

Singletons are used to ensure that only one instance of an object is being created. The singleton allows only a single instance of itself to be created which means it controls its creation. The singleton is one of the Gang of Four design patterns and is a creational pattern. Thread-Safe Singleton ...
