/**
|
||||
* NullOutput is a example of NullObject pattern. It is not formely a Design
|
||||
* Pattern by the GoF but it's a schema which appears frequently enough to
|
||||
* be a pattern. Futhermore it is a really good pattern in my opinion :
|
||||
* - the code in the client is simple
|
||||
* - it reduces the chance of null pointer exception
|
||||
* - less "if" => less test cases
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The purpose : every time you have a method which returns an object or null,
|
||||
* you should return an object or a "NullObject". With NullObject, you don't need
|
||||
* statement like "if (!is_null($obj)) { $obj->callSomething(); }" anymore.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* In this case, this a logger which does nothing. Other examples :
|
||||
* - null logger of symfony profiler
|
||||
* - null output in symfony/console
|
||||
* - null handler in a Chain of Responsiblities pattern
|
||||
* - null command in a Command pattern
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Performance concerns : ok there is a call for nothing but we spare an "if is_null"
|
||||
* I didn't run a benchmark but I think it's equivalent.
