Refactoring Example

A C++ project for the first refactoring example of Fowler (2018).

Features

• Based on the “theatrical players” (rather than “video rental store”) exercise from the first chapter (freely available from here) of Fowler (2018)
• C++20 (rather than JavaScript) with some tests (using GoogleTest)
• Two branches: master (the starting point before refactoring) vs. refactored (the fully refactored state) with some refactoring memo describing the key refactoring steps

How to configure, build, and test

$ cmake --preset ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
$ cmake --build build
$ ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure
