Adapter and Decorator Patterns
Understand how Adapter makes incompatible interfaces work together and Decorator adds responsibilities dynamically.
Structural Patterns: Connect & Enhance
Welcome to Structural Design Patterns! These patterns help you compose objects and classes into larger structures, making systems more flexible and efficient.
In this lesson, we'll explore two powerful patterns:
- Adapter Pattern: For making incompatible interfaces work together.
- Decorator Pattern: For adding new functionalities to objects dynamically.
The Incompatibility Challenge
Imagine you have an existing system that expects objects to behave in a certain way (a specific interface). Now, you need to integrate a new component that does similar work but has a different interface.
How do you make them talk without changing the existing system or the new component? This is a common challenge in software development.
