Design Patterns (Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA)

This plugin is meant to provide on the fly implementation of various design patterns.
You can download it directly from IntelliJ IDEA or from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10856-design-patterns-plugin

Currently supported design patterns

• Behavioral
  • Strategy
• Creational
  • Builder (Inner)
  • Factory
  • Singleton
• Structural

How to use

Assuming you have already installed the plugin, you can use it just by right-clicking inside a .java file while your mouse is inside a code block that defines a class. This will bring up the editor menu and the first option will be Design Patterns, where you can choose which one should be implemented.

Getting started

• Run $ gradle runIde to test the plugin locally
• If you want to test on a specific IntelliJ IDEA release, you can modify the intellij.version property in build.gradle
