SOLID Principles

A comprehensive implementation of SOLID design principles in Swift.

Overview

SOLID is a set of five object-oriented design guidelines that help developers create more maintainable, flexible, and scalable software. This repository provides practical examples and implementations of each principle in Swift.

SOLID Principles

1. Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)

A class should have only one reason to change, meaning it should have only one job or responsibility.

Key Concept: Each class or struct should be responsible for a single piece of functionality.

2. Open/Closed Principle (OCP)

Software entities (classes, modules, functions) should be open for extension but closed for modification.

Key Concept: Extend functionality through inheritance or composition without modifying existing code.

3. Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)

Objects of a superclass should be replaceable with objects of its subclasses without breaking the application.

Key Concept: Derived classes must be substitutable for their base classes.

4. Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)

Clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they do not use.

Key Concept: Create small, specific interfaces rather than large, general-purpose ones.

5. Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)

High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both should depend on abstractions.

Key Concept: Depend on abstractions, not on concrete implementations.

Benefits

• ✅ Maintainability: Easier to understand and modify code
• ✅ Flexibility: Simple to extend with new features
• ✅ Testability: Easier to write unit tests
• ✅ Reusability: Code can be reused across projects
• ✅ Reduced Coupling: Loose coupling between components

Project Structure

This repository contains practical examples demonstrating each SOLID principle in Swift.

Getting Started
