Welcome back to another Pybites refactoring video!
In today's video, we show you how to transform a set of functions into a class. This example will demonstrate when and how to use classes effectively.
We'll explore how a class maintains state, encapsulates data + behavior, reduces code repetition and can even improve the performance of your code.
By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of refactoring techniques that can make your Python code cleaner and more maintainable.
Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:23 Functions with repetition and using global scope
01:21 Writing a class and distinguishing config and user data
02:15 Make the functions methods
02:43 Using the instance variables in the methods
05:02 Fix the method calls
05:31 Making an instance to test this + IDE autocomplete
06:30 Calling the methods
07:01 Removing the setup repetition = less code + could be more performant
07:50 Wrap up
