Implement Factory Design Pattern in Golang

To implement the factory design pattern in Go, you can create a factory function that returns an object that implements a common interface. This function can take parameters to specify the type of object to be created. Here is an example of how you might implement the factory design pattern in Go: // Define an interface that the factory will create objects for type Animal interface { Speak() string } // Define a factory function that returns an object that implements the Animal interface func NewAnimal(animalType string) Animal { switch animalType { case "dog": return &Dog{} case "cat": return &Cat{} default: return nil } } // Define a struct for a dog that implements the Animal interface type Dog struct{} func (d *Dog) Speak() string { return "Woof!" } // Define a struct for a cat that implements the Animal interface type Cat struct{} func (c *Cat) Speak() string { return "Meow!" } // Use the factory function to create new Animal objects dog := NewAnimal("dog") cat := NewAnimal("cat") fmt.Println(dog.Speak()) // "Woof!" fmt.Println(cat.Speak()) // "Meow!" In this example, the NewAnimal() function is the factory function that returns objects of different types (Dog or Cat in this case) that implement the Animal interface. The factory function takes a string parameter that specifies the type of object to be created. The Dog and Cat structs both implement the Animal interface by implementing the Speak() method. The NewAnimal() function uses a switch statement to determine which type of object to return based on the animalType parameter. ...

Poetry No Module Seed via App Data

For my last project, I used poetry to manage dependencies and package my code. Poetry comes with all the tools you might need to manage your projects in a deterministic way. Anyway, after running poetry init in an existing project, I tried to let poetry create a virtuale environment, by adding the first dependecy, but when I did poetry add twisted it suddenly hang out, printing: No module named 'virtualenv.seed.via_app_data' Why is that? Because poetry was using the wrong virtualenv instance, so to solve this: ...
