What is S.O.L.I.D?

is a mnemonic acronym that stands for five basic principles of object-oriented programming and design. The principles, when applied together, intend to make it more likely that a programmer will create a system that is easy to maintain and extend over time. [3]

According to Wikipedia SOLID:

While SRP is one of the simplest OO design principles, it is one of the most abused.

Once the program works, I'm done!

Use SRP to neatly organize your application and code

WHY? 

Why do we want to use SRP?

Easier to understand and update. Multipurpose classes prevents us from clearly understanding the original intention of the code.

Why do we want to use SRP?

Better system design. Collaboration with other small classes to achieve system behavior is better than doing it all in one or few classes.

Example 1

  trait Modem[F[_]] {
    def dial(phone: Phone): F[Unit]
    def hangUp(): F[Unit]
    def send(message: Message): F[Unit]
    def receive(): F[String]

Design & Extension

I

O

Open Close Principle

L

Classes, modules, functions should be open for extension and close for modification.

Open for Extension:

This means that the behavior of the module can be extended. [5]

Closed for Modification:

The source code of such a module is inviolate. No one is allowed to make source code changes to it. [5]

C

P

D

S

Design & Extension

I

  class Pilot {
    def operate(vehicle: Vehicle) = {
      if(vehicle.isInstanceOf[Car]) {
        // Drive Car
      } else if (vehicle.isInstanceOf[Plane]) {
        // Fly Plane
      }
    }
  }
  trait Vehicle

  class Car extends Vehicle {
    def getType(): String = "car"
  }

Does not conform to the open-closed principle because we would have to modify Pilot when new vehicles are introduced, e.g. a Boat or a Rocket.

O

L

C

P

D

S

Design & Extension

  class Plane extends Vehicle {
    def getType: String = "plane"
  }

Violation Example #1 

I


trait Vehicle[F[_]] {
  def getType: String
  def operateVehicle: F[Unit]
}

class Plane[F[_]] extends Vehicle[F] {
  def getType: String = "plane"
  def operateVehicle: F[Unit] = ??? // Implement Drive Vehicle
}
class Car[F[_]] extends Vehicle[F] {

  def getType(): String = "car"
  def operateVehicle: F[Unit] = ??? // Implement Drive Vehicle
}

Use the Strategy Design Pattern and other design patterns to extend code without internal modifications!

AKA Polymorphism

Design & Extension

L

I

D

val pilot = new Pilot[IO]()
val car = new Car[IO]()
pilot.operate(car)
  
val plane = new Plane[IO]()
pilot.operate(plane)

Pilot can conduct any type of vehicle without having to modify the pilot code.

Liskov Substitution Principle

S

If for each object o1  of type S there is an object o2  of type T such that for all programs P   defined in terms of T, the behavior of P is unchanged when o1  is substituted for o2,  then S is a subtype of T. [9]

Violation Example #1

class Duck extends Bird[IO] {
  override def birdSound: IO[Unit] = {
    IO.println("Quack!")
  }
  override def fly(): IO[Unit] = {
    IO.println("The duck is flying!")
  }
}
class Ostrich extends Bird[IO] {
  override def birdSound: IO[Unit] = {
    IO.println("Ostrich noises!")
  }
  override def fly(): IO[Unit] = {
    IO.println("D'oh!")
  }

  }
}

class BirdSimulator(bird: Bird[IO]) {
  def main: IO[Unit] =  {
    bird.birdSound >> bird.fly()
  }
}
class Ostrich needs to be abstract. Missing implementation for:
  def fly():

So what is the point?

The Liskov Substitution Principle (A.K.A Design by Contract) is an important feature of all programs that conform to the Open-Closed principle.

It is only when derived types are completely substitutable for their base types that functions which use those base types can be reused with impunity, and the derived types can be changed with impunity. [16]

Interface Segregation Principle

You want me to plug this in where?

The interface-segregation principle (ISP) states that no client should be forced to depend on methods it does not use. [11]

Interface Segregation Principle

Classes that implement interfaces should not be forced to implement methods they do not use. [12]

Thin interfaces

This principle deals with disadvantages of fat interfaces


trait Vehicle[F[_]] {
  def accelerate(): F[Unit]
  def brake(): F[Unit]
  def changeGear(gear: GearBox): F[Unit]
  def ejectCD(): F[Unit]
  def getType(): String
  def lightsOn(): F[Unit]
  def operateVehicle(): F[Unit]
  def signalLeft(): F[Unit]
  def signalRight(): F[Unit]
  def startEngine(): F[Unit]
  def stopRadio(): F[Unit]
}

Thin interfaces

If you put too many things in your vehicle you are going to leave your donkey up in the air!

Each interface should be grouped into methods that serve a different set of clients


trait CDRadio[F[_]] {
  def ejectCD(): F[Unit]
  def stopRadio(): F[Unit]
}

trait SpeedControl[F[_]] {
  def accelerate(): F[Unit]
  def brake(): F[Unit]
  def changeGear(gear: GearBox): F[Unit]
  def startEngine(): F[Unit]
}

class Car extends Vehicle[IO] {
  override def operateVehicle(): IO[Unit] = {
    val speedControl = new CarSpeedControl[IO]()
    speedControl.startEngine()
    speedControl.accelerate()

Dependency Inversion Principle

Dependency Inversion Principle VS Dependency Injection

Dependency Inversion: is about programming to interfaces NOT implementations. 

Dependency Injection: Is the means by which an object acquires a dependency. [13]

Dependency Inversion can be achieved WITH or WITHOUT Dependency Injection.

Guidelines

  1. No Concrete Classes
  2. No class should derive from concrete classes
  3. No method overwriting

Conclusion 

  1. Use SRP to keep your code clean and organized
  2. Use OCP to enable you and others to extend your code
  3. Use LSP to ensure your classes can be reused without side-effects
  4. Use ISP to prevent forcing subtypes to implement methods they don't use
  5. Use the DIP to create more modular code

The Road to S.O.L.I.D.

  1. S.O.L.I.D. Requires repetition
  2. Be disciplined about repetition
  3. Use design patterns to solve problems
  4. Use libraries, components and frameworks to help you out
  5. Do not be discouraged
  6. Do not over do it
    1. You can always find ways to abstract your code
    2. Do enough to have a good design
    3. Do enough to cover your use cases
  7. Refactoring is a part of life APPLY S.O.L.I.D. WHILE REFACTORING
