Factory Method

Using classes with metatables ends up being problematic for several reasons:

• No standard way to define a class
• Lack of support due to complexity of metatables
• Lack of type-safety and autocomplete (without bending over backwards)

Enter the factory method where you create functions that create and manipulate typed objects. This approach:

• Doesn’t impact support as you’re working with dictionaries
• Provides the type-safety and autocomplete you deserve
