## Adapter
|
|
|
|
Convert the interface of a class into another interface the clients expect.
|
|
Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise because of
|
|
incompatible interfaces, ie. allows to use a client with an incompatible
|
|
interface by an Adapter that does the conversion.
|
|
|
|
### When to use
|
|
|
|
* you want to use an existing class, and its interface does not match the one you need
|
|
* you want to create a reusable class that cooperates with classes that don't necessarily have compatible interfaces
