Introduction – Why study this pattern?

Here are some reasons why studying the Abstract Factory design pattern can be beneficial for a PHP developer:

 Enhanced Flexibility: Enables easy switching between different object families without altering the client code.

Consistent Object Creation: Ensures all related objects are created consistently, reducing potential mismatches and errors.

Code Reusability: Promotes code reuse by encapsulating object creation logic in a single, maintainable place.

Separation of Concerns: Separates object creation from business logic, leading to cleaner, more organized code.

Easier Maintenance: Simplifies maintenance by localizing changes in one place when modifying object creation.

Improved Testability: Makes unit testing easier by allowing the injection of mock or stub objects.

Supports Scalability: Facilitates scalable applications by enabling the addition of new product families with minimal changes.
