Chain of Responsibility is one of the less-frequently used design patterns, but also one of the most useful patterns. It helps compose simple decision-making objects into a chain structure, so that the objects get the opportunity to decide in order of their appearance. The first object to successfully complete the task gets all the credits, and its response becomes the result of the entire chain.
That is the theory, and in this video you will learn the practical aspects of applying and implementing the Chain of Responsibility design pattern. We will address the issue of combining simple IComparer instances to build a multi-level sorting comparer object which can be used in contexts where only one IComparer object can be supplied.

One of the biggest problems developers face with learning designed patterns is finding practical use cases. I can't recall seeing a more practical use case for a design pattern than the one you just presented. Congratulations. This is great content.

Your pluralsight and udemy courses are fire! Thanks for all the great content!

A very nice real-world example of the pattern in use.

@real_logicmonk Год назад

Simple explanations! Watched your Course on functional programming on pluralsight in 2019 or so, changed my life! Program in go these days but still these videos are so enjoyable and informative that cant pass on.

@superpcstation Год назад

He made another functional programming course on pluralsight. it's on my watch list.

Great video, as always. 🙌 Greetings from InterVenture.

Really interesting video - thanks for sharing. Also, a very good and practical example. I was following along, but used Java 17 for the implementation. To my surprise, I realised that Java already includes the Chain of Responsibility in its Comparator class, via the `.thenComparing()` method. Nice. 🙂

@zoran-horvat Год назад

Now that you said it, I think I remember it does. Java has one practical feature that i like a lot - functional interfaces. So many interfaces only expose one method, and the ability to use lambdas and interfaces interchangeably is really useful.

@alexlo5655 Год назад

Hi, Thank u for the interesting video. Should we mentioned that the same can be achieved using LINQ? If yes, should we consider LINQ chaining as the Chain of Responsibility?

@zoran-horvat Год назад

If the nodes are organized into an IEnumerable, then LINQ is a viable option. Though, you must take care to construct a correct expression. In the example from the video, nodes are NOT ordered into a sequence.

@MrJonnis13 Год назад

Nice and practical video. However, in C# this can happen using linq. Is linq actually doing an implementation of "Chain of Responsibility" ? Or it the the Comparer itself that is "chained" and it be used both in List.Sort and IEnumerable.OrderBy() ?

@zoran-horvat Год назад

It depends on what you mean by "doing an implementation". If you consider the example implementation from the GoF pattern, then it is only one possibility. It is far from being the only one, let alone the best implementation one can come up with. In my opinion, design patterns are not their implementations, but the externally visible interaction, usually - but not always - implemented via object injection. In the case of the Chain of Responsibility, there are two principal implementations that correspond to linked list vs. array list, with all pros and cons of both approaches. Using LINQ operators such as SkipWhile, First, etc. makes it no different than the CoR implementation from the GoF book, which is based on object chaining. So, the answer to your question does LINQ implement CoR is (in precise terms): no, it doesn't. But the caller could not tell the difference anyway, due to encapsulation.

@@zoran-horvat Thank you Zoran for you answer. It totally makes sense your "point of you" about what design patterns really are and teach us this way of thinking. I already bought your Udemy course on this topic and I look forward to studying it in detail. How would you do the the sorting of a collection in C# ? Would you use the linq support to "Chain' method calls like "OrderByDescending(comparer1).ThenBy(comparer2)..." *OR* "OrderBy(comparer1.Then(comparer2))" which is your example of CoR (let's imagine that we don't want to use List.Sort())? Is it a matter of preference or what ? And by the way, I am not aware what the example implementation from the GoF book is :)

@zoran-horvat 11 месяцев назад

@@MrJonnis13 The CoR implementation in GoF is literally a linked list of objects. I have used CoR several times in practice and I always flattened that into a list for performance gains (which were measurable). Regarding sorting, from what I have seen in the LINQ source code, OrderBy and ThenBy methods are heavily optimized and I see no reason to avoid them. My guess is that they could even perform better than the custom chained comparer. The reason for having the chained comparer is for the sake of sorting methods that can only accept one IComparer, such as the List's Sort method.
