Overview of this book

This book shows you how easy it can be to implement traditional design patterns in the modern multi-paradigm Kotlin programming language, and takes you through the new patterns and paradigms that have emerged. This second edition is updated to cover the changes introduced from Kotlin 1.2 up to 1.5 and focuses more on the idiomatic usage of coroutines, which have become a stable language feature. You'll begin by learning about the practical aspects of smarter coding in Kotlin, as well as understanding basic Kotlin syntax and the impact of design patterns on your code. The book also provides an in-depth explanation of the classical design patterns, such as Creational, Structural, and Behavioral families, before moving on to functional programming. You'll go through reactive and concurrent patterns, and finally, get to grips with coroutines and structured concurrency to write performant, extensible, and maintainable code. By the end of this Kotlin book, you'll have explored the latest trends in architecture and design patterns for microservices. You’ll also understand the tradeoffs when choosing between different architectures and make informed decisions.

Chapter 2: Working with Creational Patterns

In this chapter, we'll cover how classic creational patterns are implemented using Kotlin. These patterns deal with how and when you create your objects. For each design pattern, we will discuss what it aims to achieve and how Kotlin accommodates those needs.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Singleton
  • Factory Method
  • Abstract Factory
  • Builder
  • Prototype

Mastering these design patterns will allow you to manage your objects better, adapt well to changes, and write code that is easy to maintain.
