Adapters

Overview

Adapters in ReactiveModel are designed to handle the transformation and standardization of data when interacting with remote services or APIs. They come in three types:

1. Legacy: The original adapter, designed to work with older configurations.

2. Default: A built-in standard adapter that follows common best practices.

3. Custom: User-defined adapters that implement the IResponseAdapter interface for specialized use-cases.

Adapter Scope

ReactiveModel allows you to specify adapters in two scopes:

Global Scope

You can set a global adapter using the ReactiveConfig class. This adapter will be used by all instances of your ReactiveModels unless overridden.

Per Instance Scope

You can specify an adapter for individual Item or Collection instances by passing the adapter in the constructor.

// For Item
class OwnItem extends Item {
	constructor(specs) {
		super({ ...specs, adapter: CustomAdapter });
	}
}

// For Collection
class CustomCollection extends Collection {
	constructor(specs) {
		super({ ...specs, adapter: CustomAdapter });
	}
}

If no adapter is specified, ReactiveModel will use the global adapter set via ReactiveConfig.
