Template Method Pattern in Python: Define Base Class with Algorithm Steps
Create a template method base class using ABC that defines the skeleton of an algorithm while letting subclasses implement specific steps.
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class DataProcessor(ABC):
"""Template method that defines the skeleton of an algorithm."""
def process(self):
"""Template method - defines the sequence of steps."""
self.load_data()
self.clean_data()
self.transform_data()
self.s…Template Method Workflow Steps Base Class in Python
Define a reusable workflow skeleton in a base class and let subclasses fill in each step with the Template Method design pattern.
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class DataPipeline(ABC):
"""Template Method pattern: defines a workflow skeleton."""
def run(self):
"""Template method - defines the algorithm's structure."""
result = {"extracted": False, "transformed": False, "loaded": False}
