SOLID Principles
Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
The Interface Segregation Principle states that clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they do not use. Instead of one large, general-purpose interface, multiple smaller, more specific interfaces are preferred.
Clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they do not use.
Benefits:
- Reduces the impact of changes: Changes to one method in an interface do not force all implementing classes to change.
- Enhances code readability and maintainability: Smaller, more focused interfaces are easier to understand.
- Promotes the design of more cohesive and focused interfaces: Each interface is tailored to the specific needs of its clients.
General Tips!
- Start Small: Begin by applying these principles to new code you write. Gradually refactor existing code to comply with SOLID principles as you work on it.
- Test Often:Test Often: Use unit testing to ensure that your abstractions work correctly and that changes to your code do not introduce new bugs.
- Code Reviews: Incorporate SOLID principles into your code review process. Have peers review your code to ensure adherence to these principles.
- Continuous Learning: Keep learning and improving your understanding of these principles. Read books, articles, and tutorials, and practice applying these concepts in your projects.
