No-Parameterized constructors are a code smell of an **invalid* object that will dangerously mutate.
Incomplete objects cause lots of issues.*
TL;DR: Pass the essence to all your objects so they will not need to mutate.
Problems
Mutability
Incomplete objects
Concurrency inconsistencies between creation and essence setting.
Setters
Solutions
Pass the object's essence on creation
Create objects with their immutable essence.
Examples
- Some persistence frameworks in static typed languages require an empty constructor.
Exceptions
- Stateless objects. Always better solution than static class methods.
Sample Code
Wrong
class AirTicket {
constructor() {
}
}
Right
class AirTicket {
constructor(origin, destination, arline, departureTime, passenger) {
//...
}
}
