Welcome back to our series on design patterns in JavaScript!

Last time, we covered the Decorator Pattern, which dynamically adds behaviour to objects.

Now, let’s dive into the Adapter Pattern, essential for making incompatible interfaces work together, especially when integrating different systems or libraries.

In this article, we’ll explore the Adapter Pattern in JavaScript using functional programming, with practical examples and real-world applications.

💁 What is the Adapter Pattern?

The Adapter Pattern is a structural design pattern that allows two incompatible interfaces to work together.

Essentially, it wraps one function or module with another, translating the input or output to match the required interface.
