Dependency Inversion Principle

What is a Dependency Inversion Principle? The Dependency Inversion Principle means that high-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Source Source What problems does it solve? The Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) helps solve: Rigidity Fragility Immobility problems Real-world code example Violation of DIP // High-level module directly depending on low-level modules class MessageService { func sendMessageViaEmail(message: String) { let emailSender = EmailSender() emailSender.sendMessage(message: message) } func sendMessageViaSMS(message: String) { let smsSender = SMSSender() smsSender.sendMessage(message: message) } func sendMessageViaPushNotification(message: String) { let pushNotificationSender = PushNotificationSender() pushNotificationSender.sendMessage(message: message) } } Adhering to DIP // Protocol defining the interface for sending messages protocol MessageSender { func sendMessage(message: String) } // High-level module depending on abstraction (MessageSender protocol) class MessageService { private let messageSender: MessageSender init(messageSender: MessageSender) { self.messageSender = messageSender } func sendMessage(message: String) { messageSender.sendMessage(message: message) } } // Concrete implementations of MessageSender protocol for different channels class EmailSender: MessageSender { func sendMessage(message: String) { print("Sending email: \(message)") } } class SMSSender: MessageSender { func sendMessage(message: String) { print("Sending SMS: \(message)") } } class PushNotificationSender: MessageSender { func sendMessage(message: String) { print("Sending push notification: \(message)") } } // Example usage let emailSender = EmailSender() let smsSender = SMSSender() let pushNotificationSender = PushNotificationSender() let emailService = MessageService(messageSender: emailSender) let smsService = MessageService(messageSender: smsSender) let pushNotificationService = MessageService(messageSender: pushNotificationSender) emailService.sendMessage(message: "Hello via email") smsService.sendMessage(message: "Hello via SMS") pushNotificationService.sendMessage(message: "Hello via push notification") Thank you for reading! 😊
