Adapter

Adapters are sorts of implementations which implements a same kind of function. In ThinkJS , the framework provides these adapters by default. Such as Cache, Session, WebSocket, Db, Store, Template, Socket and so on.

Create An Adapter

You can create an adapter with console conmmand like this:

thinkjs adapter template/dot

It creates a Template Adapter named dot in src/common/adapter/template/dot.js. The code probably likes the following:

export default class extends think.adapter.template {
  /**
   * init
   * @return {[]}         []
   */
  init(...args){
    super.init(...args);
  }
}

The framework creates a Base class if the type you created doesn't exist, then other classes inherit from the Base class.

Introduce an Adaper

You can introduce an Adapter by using think.adapter. For example:

let Template = think.adapter("template", "dot"); // introduce Template Adapter named dot
let instance = new Template(...args); // introduce an Adapter and instantiate it.

Use third part Adapter

The framework searches Adapters from src/common/adapter and system path automatically, when it loads Adapters. You should regist third part Adapters if you need, otherwise the framework can't find them.

You can regist third part Adapters by using think.adapter， For example：

let DotTemplate = require('think-template-dot');
think.adapter('template', 'dot', DotTemplate);

Then, the Adaptor files in src/common/bootstrap/ can be loaded automatically when the service started.
