Adapter Pattern

Adapter Pattern is an abstraction for nasty or 3rd party code, you need in your main clean codebase.

It is basically a wrapper around a particular class or object, which provides a different API and utilizes the object’s original one in the background.

Use Cases

• It is used to create a bridge between two different interfaces
• Removes incompabilities between the interfaces
• Prevents or minimizes refactoring client application code
• Lets you build packages with an opinionated API, with custom adapters for maxmium compability

// index.js
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuuid'

console.log(uuidv4()) // without adapter pattern

// uuid.js
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuuid'

class uuid {
  generate() {
    return uuidv4()
  }
}

export default new uuid()

// App.js
import uuid from './uuid

console.log(uuid.generate())
