[Design Patterns in Javascript] The Strategy Design Pattern in Javascript

The Strategy Design Pattern is used to allow to inject different algorithms into an object instead of having to keep all of the logic wrapped up inside of if statements. It also helps us to avoid using subclasses.

Want to move out of the beginner and intermediate programming levels into being more advanced? One of the things that will help get you there is learning design patterns.

This is the fourth episode in a new series we are doing on design patterns in javascript.
