With the widespread adoption of mobile devices, mobile development has become a mandatory skill for front-end engineers. JavaScript design patterns require targeted adjustments in mobile environments to accommodate features like touch interactions, performance constraints, and varying screen sizes. From event handling to component design, the application of these patterns differs significantly from desktop environments.

Touch Optimization for Event Delegation

Traditional event delegation relies on mouse events, while mobile requires handling touch sequences. Events like touchstart and touchend lack native bubbling mechanisms, necessitating manual cross-component event management. The following example demonstrates how to adapt the event delegation pattern:

class TouchDelegate {
  constructor(container) {
    this.container = container;
    this.handlers = new Map();
    // Unified binding of raw touch events
    this.container.addEventListener('touchstart', this.dispatch.bind(this), { passive: true });
  }

  register(selector, handler) {
    this.handlers.set(selector, handler);
  }

  dispatch(event) {
    const touch = event.changedTouches[0];
    const target = document.elementFromPoint(touch.clientX, touch.clientY);
    
    for (const [selector, handler] of this.handlers) {
      if (target.closest(selector)) {
        handler.call(target, createSyntheticEvent(event));
        break;
      }
    }
  }
}

// Create synthetic events compatible with mouse event structures
function createSyntheticEvent(nativeEvent) {
  return {
    clientX: nativeEvent.changedTouches[0].clientX,
    clientY: nativeEvent.changedTouches[0].clientY,
    target: nativeEvent.target,
    nativeEvent
  };
}

This implementation addresses three mobile-specific issues: touch coordinate conversion, passive event optimization, and target identification during multi-touch. Practical applications also require adding threshold judgments for touchmove to avoid accidental triggers during scrolling.

Performance Tuning for Observer Pattern

Mobile memory constraints necessitate automatic cleanup mechanisms in the observer pattern. A typical scenario is lazy loading images in infinite scroll lists:

class LazyLoader {
  constructor() {
    this.intersectionObserver = new IntersectionObserver(entries => {
      entries.forEach(entry => {
        if (entry.isIntersecting) {
          this.notify(entry.target.dataset.lazyId);
          this.unobserve(entry.target); // Immediately stop observing after triggering
        }
      });
    }, {
      rootMargin: '200px 0px' // Trigger 200px earlier on mobile
    });
  }

  observe(element, callback) {
    element.dataset.lazyId = Symbol('lazy');
    this.register(element.dataset.lazyId, callback);
    this.intersectionObserver.observe(element);
  }
}

Key improvements include: using IntersectionObserver instead of scroll event calculations, setting dynamic pre-load boundaries, and immediately unobserving after resource loading. For low-end devices, idle period processing should be added:

requestIdleCallback(() => {
  // Process pending items in batches
}, { timeout: 1000 }); // Ensure execution within 1 second

Responsive Adaptation for Factory Method

Varying mobile screen sizes require component factories to dynamically generate adaptive solutions. Below is an implementation of a responsive dialog factory:

class DialogFactory {
  create(type, config) {
    let dialog;
    const viewportWidth = window.innerWidth;

    if (viewportWidth < 768) {
      dialog = this.createMobileDialog(type, config);
    } else {
      dialog = this.createDesktopDialog(type, config);
    }

    // Recreate instances during screen orientation changes
    window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
      if (this.needRecreate(dialog, window.innerWidth)) {
        dialog.destroy();
        dialog = this.create(type, config);
      }
    });

    return dialog;
  }

  createMobileDialog(type, config) {
    switch(type) {
      case 'alert':
        return new MobileAlertDialog({
          fullScreen: config.important,
          swipeToClose: true
        });
      case 'confirm':
        return new BottomSheetDialog(config);
    }
  }
}

The factory incorporates the following mobile-specific features:

Component type selection based on viewport width
Instance recreation during screen orientation changes
Mobile-specific interactions (swipe-to-close)
Alternative solutions like bottom sheets (Bottom Sheet)

Strategy Pattern and Gesture Recognition

Converting different touch gestures into strategy objects elegantly handles complex interactions:

const gestureStrategies = {
  tap: {
    recognize(touchEvents) {
      return touchEvents.length === 1 && 
        touchEvents[0].duration < 300 &&
        touchEvents[0].moveRadius < 5;
    },
    execute(element) {
      element.click();
    }
  },
  swipeLeft: {
    recognize(touchEvents) {
      const t = touchEvents[0];
      return t.duration < 500 && 
        t.deltaX < -30 && 
        Math.abs(t.deltaY) < 20;
    },
    execute(element) {
      element.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('swipeleft'));
    }
  }
};

class TouchProcessor {
  constructor(element) {
    this.startTime = 0;
    this.startX = 0;
    this.startY = 0;
    element.addEventListener('touchstart', this.recordStart.bind(this));
    element.addEventListener('touchend', this.analyze.bind(this));
  }

  recordStart(event) {
    this.startTime = Date.now();
    this.startX = event.touches[0].clientX;
    this.startY = event.touches[0].clientY;
  }

  analyze(event) {
    const duration = Date.now() - this.startTime;
    const deltaX = event.changedTouches[0].clientX - this.startX;
    const deltaY = event.changedTouches[0].clientY - this.startY;
    
    const touchData = [{
      duration,
      deltaX,
      deltaY,
      moveRadius: Math.sqrt(deltaX**2 + deltaY**2)
    }];

    for (const [name, strategy] of Object.entries(gestureStrategies)) {
      if (strategy.recognize(touchData)) {
        strategy.execute(event.target);
        break;
      }
    }
  }
}

This implementation encapsulates gesture detection algorithms as replaceable strategy objects, facilitating the addition of complex gestures like pinch-to-zoom while maintaining stable core processing logic.

Flyweight Pattern in List Rendering

Performance optimization for long mobile lists requires enhanced application of the flyweight pattern. Here's a React implementation example:

function VirtualList({ data, itemHeight, renderItem }) {
  const [scrollTop, setScrollTop] = useState(0);
  const viewportHeight = useWindowSize().height;
  
  const visibleCount = Math.ceil(viewportHeight / itemHeight) + 2;
  const startIndex = Math.floor(scrollTop / itemHeight);
  const endIndex = startIndex + visibleCount;
  
  // Reuse DOM nodes
  const items = useMemo(() => {
    return data.slice(startIndex, endIndex).map((item, index) => (
      <div 
        key={item.id}
        style={{ 
          position: 'absolute',
          top: `${(startIndex + index) * itemHeight}px`,
          height: `${itemHeight}px`
        }}
      >
        {renderItem(item)}
      </div>
    ));
  }, [startIndex, endIndex, data]);

  return (
    <div 
      style={{ height: `${data.length * itemHeight}px` }}
      onScroll={(e) => setScrollTop(e.target.scrollTop)}
    >
      <div style={{ position: 'relative' }}>
        {items}
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}

Key technical points include:

Rendering only visible area items plus buffer zones
DOM node reuse via absolute positioning
Dynamic calculation of data indices based on scroll position
Using CSS transforms instead of reflow operations

State Pattern and Network State Management

Unstable mobile networks require extending the state pattern to handle offline scenarios:

class NetworkState {
  constructor() {
    this.currentState = new OnlineState();
    window.addEventListener('online', this.transition.bind(this));
    window.addEventListener('offline', this.transition.bind(this));
  }

  transition() {
    this.currentState = navigator.onLine 
      ? new OnlineState() 
      : new OfflineState();
    
    // Synchronize application state during transitions
    this.currentState.sync();
  }

  request(url) {
    return this.currentState.handleRequest(url);
  }
}

class OnlineState {
  handleRequest(url) {
    return fetch(url)
      .then(response => response.json())
      .catch(() => {
        // Fallback handling on failure
        return caches.match(url);
      });
  }

  sync() {
    // Upload queued offline operations
    BackgroundSyncManager.register('sync-queue');
  }
}

class OfflineState {
  handleRequest(url) {
    return caches.match(url)
      .then(response => response || this.queueRequest(url));
  }

  queueRequest(url) {
    // Temporarily store requests using IndexedDB
    return idbKeyval.set(`req:${Date.now()}`, url);
  }
}

This pattern implements the following mobile-specific features:
