Prototype Design Pattern

The prototype pattern is used when the type of objects to create is determined by a  prototypical instance, which is cloned to produce new objects. This pattern is used to:
  • avoid subclasses of an object creator in the client application..
  • avoid the inherent cost of creating a new object in the standard way (e.g., using the 'new' keyword) when it is prohibitively expensive for a given application.

<?php
Class Book {
private $title = '';
public function setTitle($title) {
$this->title = $title;
}
public function getTitle() {
return $this->title;
}
public function __clone() {}
}
$newBook = new Book();
$newBook->setTitle("oops");
$title = $newBook->getTitle();
echo $title;
echo "<br>";
$newBook2 = clone $newBook;
$newBook2->setTitle("designPattern");
$title = $newBook2->getTitle();
echo $title;
echo "<br>";
$newBook3 = $newBook;
$newBook3->setTitle("newTittle");
echo $newBook->getTitle();
?>
