Iβm excited to announce a new module in my Java Spring Best Practices repository! π
This time, weβre diving into the Guard Clause Pattern and comparing it with the traditional Nested If-Else Statements. If youβve ever struggled with deeply nested logic or unmaintainable validation checks, this is for you. π
Why Use Guard Clauses? π€
π― Readability: Say goodbye to deeply nested conditions. Guard clauses simplify your logic, making your code clean and easy to follow.
π― Maintainability: Adding or updating validation rules becomes a breeze with isolated checks.
π― Simplicity: Each invalid condition is handled immediately, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Key Features of This Module
