How I Use Adapter Pattern in React

The Adapter Pattern makes life easier by integrating third-party components, allowing you to use old code without changing the original interface.

Nice, I’ve always used so called “mapper function” approach… and was wondering if I started to use adapter design pattern without knowing it XD
I’m really happy to learn new approaches like this!

amazing read, thank you for sharing.
