System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

External code should not drive decisions by inspecting object state; objects should encapsulate behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces encapsulation by moving decision logic into objects.
  • Improves maintainability by reducing external state checks.
  • Use Case: refactor workflows to have domain objects perform actions instead of their containers deciding flows.

Quick Start

Apply the Tell, Don't Ask principle by refactoring client code to invoke behavior on objects rather than inspecting their state.
