State Pattern: Clean Order Lifecycles
UML Class Diagrams · made in Skemio
What it shows
- Encapsulate state-specific logic into dedicated classes to kill branching.
- Transitions become explicit methods, preventing invalid lifecycle jumps.
- Add new lifecycle steps like Refunded without touching existing states.
The takeaway
Replace nested conditionals with state objects to keep workflow logic modular and strictly validated.
