Adding Bridge pattern to data ingestion #108

Open Damian-Steiger opened 3 years ago

Damian-Steiger commented 3 years ago

The bridge pattern is used to separate the interface of a class from it’s implementation. Then we can have multiple implementations, one to ingest .csv files, one to ingest .dtb files, … etc, and we won't have to worry about it breaking since bridge allows for implementation to be switched at runtime. Then there can be many implementations for many file formats. Then with the bridges adapter, we know the output will work with the rest of Covidify.

By adding the bridge pattern to Covidify I have made it more universal as many more file types may easily be ingested.
