---

The mediator pattern is used to reduce coupling between classes that communicate with each other. Instead of classes communicating directly, and thus requiring knowledge of their implementation, the classes send messages via a mediator object.

Github https://github.com/sergeyleschev/design-patterns

**Example**
```swift
protocol Receiver {
    associatedtype MessageType
    func receive(message: MessageType)
}

protocol Sender {
    associatedtype MessageType
    associatedtype ReceiverType: Receiver
    
    var recipients: [ReceiverType] { get }
    
    func send(message: MessageType)
}

struct Programmer: Receiver {
    let name: String
    
    init(name: String) {
        self.name = name
    }
    
    func receive(message: String) {
        print("\(name) received: \(message)")
    }
}

final class MessageMediator: Sender {
    internal var recipients: [Programmer] = []
    
    func add(recipient: Programmer) {
        recipients.append(recipient)
    }
    
    func send(message: String) {
        for recipient in recipients {
            recipient.receive(message: message)
        }
    }
}
```
**Usage**
```swift
func spamMonster(message: String, worker: MessageMediator) {
    worker.send(message: message)
}

let messagesMediator = MessageMediator()

let user0 = Programmer(name: "Linus Torvalds")
let user1 = Programmer(name: "Avadis 'Avie' Tevanian")
messagesMediator.add(recipient: user0)
messagesMediator.add(recipient: user1)

spamMonster(message: "I'd Like to Add you to My Professional Network", worker: messagesMediator)
```

> **_Behavioral_**
In software engineering, behavioral design patterns are design patterns that identify common communication patterns between objects and realize these patterns. By doing so, these patterns increase flexibility in carrying out this communication.

**Contacts**
I have a clear focus on time-to-market and don't prioritize technical debt. And I took part in the Pre-Sale/RFX activity as a System Architect, assessment efforts for Mobile (iOS-Swift, Android-Kotlin), Frontend (React-TypeScript) and Backend (NodeJS-.NET-PHP-Kafka-SQL-NoSQL). And I also formed the work of Pre-Sale as a CTO from Opportunity to Proposal via knowledge transfer to Successful Delivery.
