TypeScript's functional answers to the 22 Gang of Four classes — factory functions (Factory Method, Abstract Factory, Prototype, Memento), module-scope singletons, fluent immutable builders, wrapper functions (Adapter, Facade), native Proxy, WeakMap caches (Flyweight), discrimina
TypeScript's functional answers to the 22 Gang of Four classes — factory functions (Factory Method, Abstract Factory, Prototype, Memento), module-scope singletons, fluent immutable builders, wrapper functions (Adapter, Facade), native Proxy, WeakMap caches (Flyweight), discriminated unions with exhaustive match (State, Visitor, Composite), event emitters and signals (Mediator, Observer), pipelines and composition (CoR, Decorator), stream methods (Iterator), closures-as-commands, higher-order strategies, lambda placement. Use when reviewing TypeScript that has a class-shaped problem the GoF catalog solves with a hierarchy but where idiomatic TS reaches for a function, a tagged union, or a data structure. Each rule names the GoF pattern(s) it replaces and when the class form still wins.

# TypeScript Functional Patterns
Implementation reference for the functional shapes that supersede the Gang of Four catalog in idiomatic TypeScript. Sibling to [`implementation-design-patterns`](../implementation-design-patterns/SKILL.md): read that one when the answer is a class, this one when the answer is a function, a tagged union, or a small data structure.
TypeScript has first-class functions, discriminated unions, structural typing, and zero ceremony around closures. That means the 22 GoF patterns — written in the catalog as class hierarchies because the source material targets Java/C# — collapse to far fewer functional shapes in real TS code. Several patterns share a functional answer: tagged unions cover State, Visitor, and Composite; factory functions cover Factory Method, Abstract Factory, Prototype, and Memento; event emitters cover Mediator and Observer; wrapper functions cover Adapter and Facade. This skill names those collapses, the placement rules they imply, and the performance trade-offs.
## When to Apply
- Refactoring a Factory class hierarchy, an `AbstractFactory` returning families of products, or a class with `clone()` / Memento save-restore
- Refactoring a Singleton class with `private constructor` + `static getInstance`
- Refactoring a mutable Builder class for a configuration object with many optional fields
- Refactoring a Strategy / Template Method / Bridge class hierarchy where variation is a single method
- Replacing a Chain of Responsibility class chain or Decorator wrapper-class stack
- Replacing a custom Iterator class with stream methods, generators, or lazy iterator helpers
- Replacing a Command class with a closure stored in a queue (when undo/serialization is not required)
- Replacing an Adapter / Facade class that exists only to forward calls or hide subsystem orchestration
- Replacing a Proxy class with native JS `Proxy` (for transparent interception) or an HOF wrapper (for selective wrapping)
- Replacing a Flyweight factory class with a `Map`/`WeakMap` cache + factory function
- Replacing a State / Visitor / Composite class hierarchy with a discriminated union + exhaustive `match` function
- Replacing a Mediator / Observer class with an event emitter or reactive signal
- Reviewing TSX where lambdas appear inline in JSX, hook deps, or `memo`'d child props — placement controls identity
- Recognizing imperative `for` loops with mutated accumulators that would read more honestly as `reduce`, `Object.groupBy`, or `flatMap`

## How to Use
1. **Find the pattern.** If you know which GoF pattern you'd reach for, look it up in the *GoF → Functional Map* above and read the linked rule. If you only know the symptom (loop with accumulator, class returning class, three setters), the Quick Reference below groups rules by functional technique.
2. **Read "When NOT to apply".** Every rule lists the narrow conditions where the class form still wins. The skill is a complement to the parent skill, not a repudiation — keep the class when serialization, runtime introspection, typed inter-pattern relations, cross-cutting state, framework integration, or lifecycle ownership demands it.
3. **Check identity assumptions in TSX.** If the code lives in a TSX file or runs inside a hook, also read the `place-*` rules — placement decides whether `memo`, `useEffect`, and React Compiler can do their jobs.
4. **Mind the performance.** Every rule has a `### Performance trade-offs` section quantifying time, memory, and allocation costs. Most functional forms are performance-equivalent to the class form; a few (chained streams, `flatMap`) have real constant-factor costs that matter in hot paths.
## Quick Reference
### 1. Creational alternatives
- [`create-factory-function-over-factory-classes`](references/create-factory-function-over-factory-classes.md) — Function returning a tagged object instead of a Factory class hierarchy. Covers Factory Method, Abstract Factory, Prototype, and Memento. *"I'd write `new FooFactory().create()` — but a function returning the tagged object is shorter and tree-shakes."* — **HIGH**
- [`create-module-scope-over-singleton`](references/create-module-scope-over-singleton.md) — `export const x = …` or lazy `??=` instead of `class X { private static instance; getInstance() }`. ES modules ARE singletons; the class form is anti-idiom in TS. *"I need exactly one of these — config, DB client, logger."* — **HIGH**
- [`create-fluent-immutable-builder`](references/create-fluent-immutable-builder.md) — Object literal + `Partial<T>` for simple cases; fluent immutable (each method returns a new builder) for type-state-tracked DSLs. *"My constructor has 10 parameters / my Builder class has 8 setters."* — **HIGH**
### 2. Higher-order functions
- [`hof-lambda-as-strategy`](references/hof-lambda-as-strategy.md) — Pass a comparator/predicate/transformer lambda instead of defining a Strategy class. Also covers Template Method (HOF with step callback) and Bridge (HOF parametrized by implementation). *"My Strategy interface has one method."* — **HIGH**
### 3. Pipelines & composition
- [`pipe-pipeline-over-chain-of-responsibility`](references/pipe-pipeline-over-chain-of-responsibility.md) — `pipe(validate, authorize, parse)(req)` or an array fold of handlers, instead of a linked list of `Handler` classes. *"My CoR chain handlers each do one transform and pass the result along."* — **HIGH**
- [`pipe-compose-over-decorator`](references/pipe-compose-over-decorator.md) — `compose(withLogging, withCache, withAuth)(handler)` — each wrapper is `(handler) => handler`, not a `Decorator` class. Right-to-left order reads top-down like the class stack. *"I want to add logging + caching + auth around this handler."* — **HIGH**
### 4. Stream methods
- [`stream-flatmap-over-nested-loops`](references/stream-flatmap-over-nested-loops.md) — `.flatMap` for one-to-many transforms instead of `for` + `push` or `map().reduce(concat)`. *"For each user, expand to all their orders, then collect."* — **HIGH**
- [`stream-reduce-over-imperative-accumulation`](references/stream-reduce-over-imperative-accumulation.md) — `reduce` / `Object.groupBy` / `Map.groupBy` instead of `let acc = …; for (…) acc[…] = …`. The mostSkill source recorded
