Посредник на Rust

Посредник — это поведенческий паттерн, который упрощает коммуникацию между компонентами системы.

Посредник убирает прямые связи между отдельными компонентами, заставляя их общаться друг с другом через себя.

Top-Down Ownership

Top-Down Ownership approach allows to apply Mediator in Rust as it is a suitable for Rust's ownership model with strict borrow checker rules. It's not the only way to implement Mediator, but it's a fundamental one.

The key point is thinking in terms of OWNERSHIP.

  1. A mediator takes ownership of all components.

  2. A component doesn't preserve a reference to a mediator. Instead, it gets the reference via a method call.

    // A train gets a mediator object by reference.
    pub trait Train {
        fn name(&self) -> &String;
        fn arrive(&mut self, mediator: &mut dyn Mediator);
        fn depart(&mut self, mediator: &mut dyn Mediator);
    }
    
    // Mediator has notification methods.
    pub trait Mediator {
        fn notify_about_arrival(&mut self, train_name: &str) -> bool;
        fn notify_about_departure(&mut self, train_name: &str);
    }
    
  3. Control flow starts from fn main() where the mediator receives external events/commands.

  4. Mediator trait for the interaction between components (notify_about_arrival, notify_about_departure) is not the same as its external API for receiving external events (accept, depart commands from the main loop).

    let train1 = PassengerTrain::new("Train 1");
    let train2 = FreightTrain::new("Train 2");
    
    // Station has `accept` and `depart` methods,
    // but it also implements `Mediator`.
    let mut station = TrainStation::default();
    
    // Station is taking ownership of the trains.
    station.accept(train1);
    station.accept(train2);
    
    // `train1` and `train2` have been moved inside,
    // but we can use train names to depart them.
    station.depart("Train 1");
    station.depart("Train 2");
    station.depart("Train 3");
