🧩 Modern-CPP-Design-Patterns - Learn Patterns in Plain C++

🚀 Getting Started

Modern-CPP-Design-Patterns is a set of 34 design patterns and C++ idioms built in modern C++. It is made for people who want to see how common software patterns work in real code.

If you want to review the examples on Windows, visit the release page and download the latest package:

🖥️ What You Get

This project includes clear examples that show how each pattern works in C++. It covers common ideas used in object-oriented code and clean software design.

You will find examples for:

• Creational patterns
• Structural patterns
• Behavioral patterns
• C++ idioms
• SOLID principle examples
• Object-oriented design patterns
• Common programming principles

The code is arranged so you can browse one pattern at a time and compare different ways to solve the same problem.

📦 Download for Windows

To use the project on Windows, visit the release page and download the latest file from there:

Download from Releases

After you open the page:

1. Find the newest release at the top.
2. Open the Assets section.
3. Download the file meant for Windows.
4. If the file is a ZIP folder, extract it first.
5. Open the included app, example, or project file.

If Windows asks for permission, choose the option that lets the file run.

🛠️ What You Need

This project is built for users who want to explore C++ design ideas on a Windows PC. A typical setup works well with:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• 64-bit processor
• 4 GB of RAM or more
• A few hundred MB of free disk space
• A modern archive tool for ZIP files
• A text editor or viewer for reading examples

If the release includes a ready-to-run app, you can open it right after download. If it includes source files, you can still read the examples without setup work.

📚 What the Project Covers

The repository focuses on common design patterns used in software work. Each example shows a small, focused use case so the idea stays easy to follow.

Topics include:

• Singleton
• Factory
• Abstract Factory
• Builder
• Prototype
• Adapter
• Bridge
• Composite
• Decorator
• Facade
• Flyweight
• Proxy
• Chain of Responsibility
• Command
• Interpreter
• Iterator
• Mediator
• Memento
• Observer
• State
• Strategy
• Template Method
• Visitor
• RAII
• Pimpl
• Copy and move idioms
• Rule of Five
• SOLID principles in C++
• Clean class design
• Object ownership and lifetime

🧭 How to Use It

Use the project as a learning guide or as a reference when you want to understand a pattern.

A simple way to use it:

1. Download the latest release.
2. Open the files on your computer.
3. Read one example at a time.
4. Compare the class names and file names.
5. Look at how each pattern solves a specific problem.

If you are new to C++, start with the simpler patterns first, then move to the ones that use more classes.

🔍 File Layout

The release package may include folders like these:

• creational
• structural
• behavioral
• idioms
• solid
• examples
• docs

This layout helps you find one pattern fast. Each folder usually groups related code and short notes together.

🧠 Why This Helps

Design patterns give you a common way to solve common software problems. In C++, they also help with code that is easier to read, test, and change.

This project can help you:

• See how patterns look in modern C++
• Learn common object-oriented ideas
• Understand class relationships
• Compare different ways to write the same feature
• Build cleaner code for your own projects

🧩 Example Use Cases

You may find this project useful if you want to:

• Learn design patterns for school or self-study
• Review C++ idioms before a job interview
• See how SOLID principles work in real code
• Understand how larger C++ projects stay organized
• Study common OOP patterns in a simple format

🪟 Windows Setup Tips

If the download comes as a ZIP file:

1. Right-click the file.
2. Choose Extract All.
3. Pick a folder you can find later.
4. Open the extracted folder.
5. Run the included app or open the project files.

If you use a security prompt, allow the file only if you downloaded it from the release page above.
