5
+ *What is this pattern about?
6
+ This patterns aims to reduce the number of classes required by an
7
+ application. Instead of relying on subclasses it creates objects by
8
+ copying a prototypical instance at run-time.
9
+
10
+ This is useful as it make it easier to derive new kinds of objects,
11
+ when instances of the class have only a few different combinations of
12
+ state, and when instantiation is expensive.
13
+
14
+ *What does this example do?
15
+ When the number of prototypes in an application can vary, it can be
16
+ useful to keep a Dispatcher (aka, Registry or Manager). This allows
17
+ clients to query the Dispatcher for a prototype before cloning a new
18
+ instance.
19
+
20
+ Below provides an example of such Dispatcher, which contains three
21
+ copies of the prototype: 'default', 'objecta' and 'objectb'.
