Adapter Pattern

The Adapter Pattern §

C++ Project Example §

Link: Turkey and Duck

Theory §

The Adapter Pattern converts the interface of a class into another interface the clients expect. Adapter lets clases work together that couldn’t otherwise because of incompatible interfaces.

Object and Class Adapters §

1. Object Adapters: The Adapter class is composed with the object of Adaptee
2. Class Adapters: The Adapter class subclasses both the Target and Adaptee interfaces

Class Diagram §

class Target {
    void request()
}

class Adaptee {
    void specificRequest()
}

class ClientGame {
    // main.cpp
}

class Adapter {
    Adaptee adaptee
    void request()
}

ClientGame "interacts with" --> Target
Adapter "implements" ..> Target
Adapter "composition" --> Adaptee
