Code without abstract factory design pattern

One of the many possibilities of achieving what we need to do in our UI controls application is to create an abstraction for the AlertBox and the Button. Then, we need to create the 3 implementations for this abstractions, one for each operation system.

Take a look at the code 👀

If you run the project, the output will be the following:

MacOs Factory starting...
Creating an alert box that works on MacOs
> The MacOs alert box is now displayed
This is a button that works on MacOs
> The MacOs button is now displayed

Linux Factory starting...
This is an alert box that works on Linux
> The Linux alert box is now displayed
This is a button that works on Linux
> The Linux button is now displayed

Windows Factory starting...
This is an alert box that works on Windows
> The Windows alert box is now displayed
This is a button that works on Windows
> The Windows button is now displayed

Try it yourself

You can run the console application to see the output in the console.

To do that, you can use your IDE buttons/options or via terminal, executing the following command:

before executing the command, cd to this repository root directory

dotnet run --project ./AbstractFactoryPattern/AbstractFactoryPattern.WithoutPattern/AbstractFactoryPattern.WithoutPattern.csproj

Now lets see the code using the abstract factory pattern 👇
