The Adapter Pattern allows for the conversion of one interface into another, facilitating integration between new and legacy systems. It is client-centric and provides a simple solution to adapt various implementations without adding new functionality. Key concepts include the roles of Client, Adapter, and Adaptee, with practical examples like converting arrays to lists.

Adapter
Concepts
▪ Plug adaptor
▪ Convert interface into another interface
▪ Legacy
▪ Translates requests
▪ Client, Adapter, Adaptee
▪ Examples:
▪ Arrays -> Lists
▪ Streams
Design

Client centric
Integrate new with old
Interface, but not required
Adaptee can be the implementation
Everyday Example - Arrays.asList

Integer[]  arrayOfInts  =  new  Integer[]  {  42,  43,  44  };  


     
List<Integer>  listOfInts  =  Arrays.asList(arrayOfInts);  
     
System.out.println(arrayOfInts);  
     
System.out.println(listOfInts);
Exercise Adapter

Walkthrough
Create Adapter
Decorator
Another Adapter
Pitfalls
▪ Not a lot!
▪ Don’t complicate
▪ Multiple Adapters
▪ Don’t add functionality
Contrast

Adapter Bridge
▪ Works after code is designed ▪ Designed upfront
▪ Legacy ▪ Abstraction and implementation
▪ Retrofitted vary
▪ Provides different interface ▪ Built in advance
▪ Both adapt multiple systems
Adapter Summary

• Simple solution
• Easy to implement
• Integrate with Legacy
• Can provide multiple adapters
