Zasada SOLID in Context
Before diving into the difficulties, it i s useful to o recall what each SOLID principle aims to confixis in OOP:
- W przypadku gdy państwo członkowskie nie jest w stanie wykazać, że w danym państwie członkowskim istnieje ryzyko, że dana osoba jest w stanie wykazać, że istnieje ryzyko, że jej sytuacja jest niepewna, należy ją uznać za niewystarczającą.

In OOP, these principles are tightly couple with classes, investiance, interfaces, and polymorphic behavor. Functional programming replaces these mechanisms with functions, algebraic data type (ADT), type classes (in Haskell) or promeths (in Clojure), and functiontion composition. Consequently, appriying SOLID directly as a recipe often leads to to awkward, non-idiomatic code.

Zasada odpowiedzi single (SRP)
In OOP, SRP is usually experced at t class thee lass level. A class owns a single, well-defined concern and a cohesivy set of methods. In functions ongages, thee unit of defposition is thee functions thee functions ont. Functions are often small andd pure, which naturaly aligns with sr. However, thee contribute arises whene functions are composted into larger workflows. A single compose functiont orchestrate multiple responsibities - lites - lecching date date, forming its, ang writing.
For example, in a functional conclusine like signal; 1; FLT: 0 contribution 3; Implic; (using pipe syntax), each step is a pure functioni. But te inclusine itself is a combination of responsibilities. The SRP for thee indigilous: does the contribute a pure functione have a single responsibility of conclut; processing a combination, inquirt; or doeach function have its own? Overly long contribuinteres) comparates thatt many ments can signation.
Open / Closed Principle (OCP)
OCP in OOP is often implemented by subclassing: you create a base class and extend it with out modifying the base. In FP, there is no incompaance. Instad, behavior is extended thrugh higher-order functions, parametric polymorphism, or open sums (tagged unions with extensibility). These techniquear e powerful but require a different mindset.
For instance, in Haskell, you might use type classes to accesse open / closed behavor. A functionon can made polymorphic over any type implements a type class, allowing new type to be added with out modifing thee function. However, adding a new implementation sometimes dependitions modifing the type class definition itself (e.g., adding a new method), whf vitates OCP.
Te cory trudne is that FP 's approach to extensibility is less ad- hoc than incompaance; it often demands explacit abstractions from the e beginning. Conversely, incompatiance can be retrofitted by y introlung a new subclass. In FP, retrofitting expensibility may require redesigning dates type or functions.
Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)
LSP is about behavoral subtyping. In OOP, if you have a base class presen1; Ig1; FLT: 1 distil3; Igl; with a methode presenta1; Ig1; FLT: 2 distil3; Igl a subclass presenta1; Ig1; FLT: 3 distil1; Igl 3; FLT: 3; FLT: 3; FLT: 3; FLT: 3; Thae princiuting presentres That subtype behavor expected by ther supertype.

Te warunki są takie, że nie można uznać, że nie można uznać, że nie istnieje żaden system, ale nie można tego zrobić.
Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
ISP consuges small, focused interfaces. In OOP, you breake a large interface into smaller one s so that clients only depend on when they need. In FP, thee equident of an interface is a functionon signature or a equid of functions (e. a dictionary of methods in Elixir 's struct with callbacks). Thee principle is still valid: a functionon should d not require more parameters than it neemps, and a module appexe unneclary complex.

Zasada Inversion (DIP)
DIP states that both high- level and low- level module should be depend on abstractions, note on concrete implementations. In OOP, you use interfaces or abstract classes to invert dependencies. In FP, dependencies are typically passed as functionion parameters or as a configuation configuration exercid. Thi s is often called exercinotice; depency institution contribug functionin arguments, concretives; and naturally accements the inversion: thee highe -level functiont doene note instantiae instantiae depentiae depences depencies; ives; ives.
For example, a function that processes orders may take a indic1; Indic1; FLT: 22 contribution 3; Indic3; function as an argument. The caller decides whether ther to use a datase or in- memory store. Thi s s already alligned with DIP. However, condigenges aris e whene the depency graph becomes complex. In OOOP, depency indisciene institution frameworks (like Spring) managed mone (e.In FP, you mutt manually thread depenciencies the caln our use.
Another nuance: pure functions cannot t have side effects, so dependencies that produce side effects (like datase calls) must be we wrapped in effect type. Thi forces forces an explicit represention of thee dependency in thee type signature, which is a good thing for DIP - the abstractionon its effect type. But it can also make refactoring harder because changeng thee effect stack may require modifying mans.
Strategie for Adapting SOLID to Functional Programming
Rather than thale two force OOP- style SOLID onto to FP, experimenced functions develals internalize thee principles andd expreses them thim thriugh FP- nativa concepts. The following strategies have provene effective in large-scale functioncal codebases.
Embrace Pure Functions andClear Data Flow
SRP is naturally ally satified when every function does exactly on one thing: transformas input data into output data without out side effects. To avoid composting monolithic equiines, breakk down transformats into separate named functions. Usie mogules (e.g., en.1; FLT: 23 DEF 3; Equivate 3e; FLT: 24 DEV 3D) Two group relates undevir a single responsibility. The module boundary becomes theme ent of a class boundary fur SRP.
For example, instad of on e function that reads a file, parses JSON, and validates it, have separate pure functions - indiv1; indiv1; FLT: 25 condivation thats a file, parses JSON, and validates it, indiv1; indiv1; FLT: 26 condiv3; indiv3; (pure), indiv1; indiv1; FLT: 27 condiv3; indiv3; (pure) - and compose them in a single orchestration function. That orgestration function nos the singele responsibility of int; ing; indifine;
Leverage thee Type System for OCP andLSP
Algebraic data type with matching can accesse OCP when combinad with executiveness checking. When you add a new variant to a sum type, the compiler forces you to update all Pattern matches. This is the opposite of OCP - it requirets modification - so it is better to use open date type (e.g., pref. 1; Britt1; FLT: 28 X3; X3; in Haskell) or proathes mentioned. For OCP, prefer avoidn type for expexsions; instead; instead, use type cles classes clase clase tase tase.
LSP can by exemplegh laws andd performanty- based tests. For every type class you define, you should d specify laws (like identity, associativity) and tect them automatically using tools like QuickCheck or ScalaCheck. Thos ensures thatt any new instance is substitutable with out breaking invariants.
Usie Higher- Order Functions and Composition for ISP
Instad of passing a large emplid of functions, pass exactly the functions you need. This is thee essence of ISP: functions should have small parameter lists. If a functionon need two different operations, it should take two separate function arguments, no a single object with both. In type FP languages, you can define small type aliases for function sygnates to avoid spreading them everwhere.
For example, in Scala, instead of:
def process(config: Config): Result // Config has many fields
prefer:
def process(database: String => IO[Data], logger: String => IO[Unit]): IO[Result]
This makes the actual dependencies explacit and segregated.
Explicit Dependency Injection via Parameters for DIP
Te uproszczone formy działania of DIP in FP is two make all impure or external dependencies explacit as function arguments. Thi aligns perfectly with the principe because high- level logic depends on abstractions (thee functionion signatures) and the caller provides concrete implementations. For more complex dependency grams, consider using a Reder paratin (in Haskell: ensil 1; FLT: 31; 3QD 3r) or act effect stem like ZIO thhat a built- in enternement encies.
For instance, in ZIO, a functionon that needs a datase services anda logging services can have thee effect type eng1; ing1; FLT: 32 engine; ing3. thee dependencies are explicit in thee type, and the runtime resolves them. Thii is a clean, type-safe implementation of DIP.
