This repository demonstrates the application of the Command design pattern in Go. The project highlights how to encapsulate requests as objects, enabling parameterization, queuing, and undo functionality, showcasing flexibility and best practices in design patterns and unit testing.

The Command pattern encapsulates a request as an object, thereby allowing you to parameterize clients with different requests, queue or log requests, and support undoable operations.

• Command Interface: Defines a method for executing a command.
• Concrete Commands: Implement the Command interface and define bindings between a Receiver and an action.
• Receiver: Knows how to perform the operations associated with a command.
• Invoker: Stores commands and executes them in a structured manner.

• cmd/: Contains the application entry point (main.go), demonstrating the creation and usage of commands.
• pkg/command/: Houses the Command pattern implementation.
  • command.go: Defines the Command interface.
  • receiver.go: Implements the Receiver.
  • command_one.go: Implements CommandOne to execute the first action.
  • command_two.go: Implements CommandTwo to execute the second action.
  • invoker.go: Implements the Invoker to manage and execute commands.
  • receiver_test.go: Unit tests for the Receiver.
  • command_one_test.go: Unit tests for CommandOne.
  • command_two_test.go: Unit tests for CommandTwo.
  • invoker_test.go: Unit tests for the Invoker.

Ensure you have Go installed on your system. You can download it from Go's official site.

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone git@github.com:arthurfp/Go_Command_Pattern.git
cd Go_Command_Pattern

To run the application, execute:

go run cmd/main.go

To execute the tests and verify the functionality:

go test ./pkg/command

When you run the application, you should see the following output:

Executing CommandOne:
Receiver: Executing ActionOne
Executing CommandTwo:
Receiver: Executing ActionTwo
Executing all commands via Invoker:
Receiver: Executing ActionOne
Receiver: Executing ActionTwo
