introduce
Intent : To group objects into a tree structure to represent a "part-whole" hierarchy. The composite mode allows users to use individual objects and composite objects consistently.
Main solution : It blurs the concepts of simple elements and complex elements in the problem of our tree structure, and the client program can handle complex elements as simple elements, thereby decoupling the client program from the internal structure of complex elements.
When to use : 1. You want to represent a part-whole hierarchy (tree structure) of an object. 2. You want the user to ignore the difference between a composite object and a single object, and the user will use all the objects in the composite structure uniformly.
How to solve : Branches and leaves implement a unified interface, and the interface is combined inside the branch.
Key code : The interface is combined inside the branch, and contains the internal property List, which contains the Component.
