# Proxy Pattern

The [proxy pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_pattern) provides an object that controls access to another object, intercepting all calls.

## Implementation

The proxy could interface to anything: a network connection, a large object in memory, a file, or some other resource that is expensive or impossible to duplicate.

Short idea of implementation:
```go
// To use proxy and to object they must implement same methods
type IObject interface {
ObjDo(action string)
}

// Object represents real objects which proxy will delegate data
type Object struct {
action string
}

// ObjDo implements IObject interface and handel's all logic
func (obj *Object) ObjDo(action string) {
// Action behavior
fmt.Printf("I can, %s", action)
}

// ProxyObject represents proxy object with intercepts actions
type ProxyObject struct {
object *Object
}

// ObjDo are implemented IObject and intercept action before send in real Object
func (p *ProxyObject) ObjDo(action string) {
if p.object == nil {
p.object = new(Object)
}
if action == "Run" {
p.object.ObjDo(action) // Prints: I can, Run
}
}
```

## Usage
More complex usage of proxy as example: User creates "Terminal" authorizes and PROXY send execution command to real Terminal object
See [proxy/main.go](proxy/main.go) or [view in the Playground](https://play.golang.org/p/mnjKCMaOVE).

package main

// For example:
// we must a execute some command
// so before that we must to create new terminal session
// and provide our user name and command
func main() {
// Create new instance of Proxy terminal
t, err := NewTerminal("gopher")
if err != nil {
// panic: User cant be empty
// Or
// panic: You (badUser) are not allowed to use terminal and execute commands
panic(err.Error())
}

// Execute user command
excResp, excErr := t.Execute("say_hi") // Proxy prints to STDOUT -> PROXY: Intercepted execution of user (gopher), asked command (say_hi)
if excErr != nil {
fmt.Printf("ERROR: %s\n", excErr.Error()) // Prints: ERROR: I know only how to execute commands: say_hi, man
}

// Show execution response
fmt.Println(excResp) // Prints: gopher@go_term$: Hi gopher
}

/*
From that it's can be different terminals realizations with different methods, propertys, yda yda...
*/

// ITerminal is interface, it's a public method whose implemented in Terminal(Proxy) and Gopher Terminal
type ITerminal interface {
Execute(cmd string) (resp string, err error)

// GopherTerminal for example:
// Its a "huge" structure with different public methods
type GopherTerminal struct {
// user is a current authorized user
User string

// Execute just runs known commands for current authorized user
func (gt *GopherTerminal) Execute(cmd string) (resp string, err error) {

And now we will create owr proxy to deliver user and commands to specific objects

if authErr := authorizeUser(user); authErr != nil {
err = fmt.Errorf("You (%s) are not allowed to use terminal and execute commands", user)
return
}

// Create new instance of terminal and set valid user
t = &Terminal{currentUser: user}

return
}

// Execute intercepts execution of command, implements authorizing user, validates it and
// poxing command to real terminal (gopherTerminal) method
func (t *Terminal) Execute(command string) (resp string, err error) {
// If user allowed to execute send commands then, for example we can decide which terminal can be used, remote or local etc..
// but for example we just creating new instance of terminal,
// set current user and send user command to execution in terminal
t.gopherTerminal = &GopherTerminal{User: t.currentUser}

// For example our proxy can log or output intercepted execution... etc
fmt.Printf("PROXY: Intercepted execution of user (%s), asked command (%s)\n", t.currentUser, command)
