    The facade design pattern hides the complexities of a system by providing a simplified interface. It involves creating a facade class that references complex subsystem classes and exposes their key functionality through simpler methods. For example, an AnimalMaker facade class is created that holds references to Dog, Cat, and Bird classes. It exposes species methods that call the corresponding methods in the concrete classes, hiding the instantiation of the real classes from the user. The facade pattern is useful for simplifying access to a complex system.

    Facade Design Pattern

    Overview
    The main idea for the facade design is hiding the complexities of the application. The
    user would use an interface/facade instead to access any methods.

    // Animal.java

    public interface Animal {

    void species();

    Interface for concrete class.

    Class Implementation

    // Dog.java

    public class Dog implements Animal {

    @Override

    public void species() {

    System.out.println("Dog");

    Interface implementations.

    // Cat.java

    public class Cat implements Animal {

    @Override

    public void species() {

    System.out.println("Cat");

    // Bird.java

    public class Bird implements Animal {

    @Override

    public void species() {

    System.out.println("Bird");

    Facade

    // AnimalMaker.java

    public class AnimalMaker {

    private Animal dog;

    private Animal cat;

    private Animal bird;

    public AnimalMaker() {

    dog = new Dog();

    cat = new Cat();

    bird = new Bird();

    public void dogSpecies(){

    dog.species();

    public void catSpecies(){

    cat.species();

    public void birdSpecies(){

    bird.species();

    Facade for user to access concrete class methods.

    Demo

    // Demo.java

    public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    AnimalMaker animalMaker = new AnimalMaker();

    animalMaker.dogSpecies();

    animalMaker.catSpecies();

    animalMaker.birdSpecies();

    >> Dog

    >> Cat

    >> Bird

    Instead of creating concrete classes you would call their methods through the facade.

    Conclusion
    You would probably use the facade pattern if you had a complex system. You would
    want to hide the complexities and expose a simplified way for others to use.
