What Is the Observer Pattern?

Comment

Observer is a behavioral design pattern.
It specifies communication between objects: observable and observers. 
An observable is an object which notifies observers about the changes in its state.

For example, a news agency can notify channels when it receives news. 
Receiving news is what changes the state of the news agency, and it causes the channels to be notified.

observer design pattern

Comment

Observer design pattern is useful when you are interested in the state of an object and want to get notified whenever there is any change.

In observer pattern, the object that watch on the state of another object are called Observer and the object that is being watched is called Subject.

public class MyTopic implements Subject {

	private List<Observer> observers;
	private String message;
	private boolean changed;
	private final Object MUTEX= new Object();
	
	public MyTopic(){
		this.observers=new ArrayList<>();
	}
	@Override
	public void register(Observer obj) {
		if(obj == null) throw new NullPointerException("Null Observer");
		synchronized (MUTEX) {
		if(!observers.contains(obj)) observers.add(obj);
		}
	}

	@Override
	public void unregister(Observer obj) {
		synchronized (MUTEX) {
		observers.remove(obj);
		}
	}

	@Override
	public void notifyObservers() {
		List<Observer> observersLocal = null;
		//synchronization is used to make sure any observer registered after message is received is not notified
		synchronized (MUTEX) {
			if (!changed)
				return;
			observersLocal = new ArrayList<>(this.observers);
			this.changed=false;
		}
		for (Observer obj : observersLocal) {
			obj.update();
		}

	}

	@Override
	public Object getUpdate(Observer obj) {
		return this.message;
	}
	
	//method to post message to the topic
	public void postMessage(String msg){
		System.out.println("Message Posted to Topic:"+msg);
		this.message=msg;
		this.changed=true;
		notifyObservers();
	}

}

What is Observer design pattern

Comment

Observer design pattern, there is a Subject that maintains the list

of Observers that are waiting for any update on the Subject. Once

there is an update in Subject it notifies all the observers for the

change.

E.g. In real life, students are waiting for the result of their test. Here

students are the observers and test is the subject. Once the result of

test is known, testing organization notifies all the students about

their result.

The most popular use of Observer pattern is in Model View

Controller (MVC) architectural pattern.

Main issue with Observer pattern is that it can cause memory leaks.

The subject holds a strong reference to observers. If observers are

not de-registered in time, it can lead to memory leak.

public class EventManager {
    Map<String, List<EventListener>> listeners = new HashMap<>();

    public EventManager(String... operations) {
        for (String operation : operations) {
            this.listeners.put(operation, new ArrayList<>());
        }
    }

    public void subscribe(String eventType, EventListener listener) {
        List<EventListener> users = listeners.get(eventType);
        users.add(listener);
    }

    public void unsubscribe(String eventType, EventListener listener) {
        List<EventListener> users = listeners.get(eventType);
        users.remove(listener);
    }

    public void notify(String eventType, File file) {
        List<EventListener> users = listeners.get(eventType);
        for (EventListener listener : users) {
            listener.update(eventType, file);
        }
    }
}

7. Observer Pattern:
The Observer pattern defines a one-to-many dependency between objects, so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically.

Example in React:
Suppose you want to create a simple notification system in your React app where multiple components can subscribe to updates.

import React, { useState } from 'react';

// Observer
const NotificationObserver = () => {
  const [subscribers, setSubscribers] = useState([]);

  const subscribe = (subscriber) => {
    setSubscribers([...subscribers, subscriber]);
  };

  const notify = (message) => {
    subscribers.forEach((subscriber) => {
      subscriber(message);
    });
  };

  return { subscribe, notify };
};

// Components
const SubscriberComponent = ({ observer }) => {
  const [message, setMessage] = useState('');

  const receiveNotification = (message) => {
    setMessage(message);
  };

  observer.subscribe(receiveNotification);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Received Notification: {message}</p>
    </div>
  );
};

const ObserverPatternExample = () => {
  const notificationObserver = NotificationObserver();

  return (
    <div>
      <SubscriberComponent observer={notificationObserver} />
      <SubscriberComponent observer={notificationObserver} />
      <button onClick={() => notificationObserver.notify('New message')}>Notify</button>
    </div>
  );
};

export default ObserverPatternExample;
