Chain of Responsibility
The Chain of Responsability pattern allows passing request along the chain of potential handlers until one of them handles request.
Structure
Code
package main
import "fmt"
type Department interface {
execute(*Patient)
setNext(Department)
}
type Reception struct {
next Department
}
func (r *Reception) execute(p *Patient) {
if p.registrationDone {
fmt.Println("Patient registration already done")
r.next.execute(p)
return
}
fmt.Println("Reception registering patient")
p.registrationDone = true
r.next.execute(p)
}

r.next = next
}

next Department
}
