Apply constraint to class, adhere to interface










0















I have the requirement to be able to perform many conversions of external models to my own internal models.



I have decided to apply the Adapter pattern, but I want to make it as generic as possible. So effectively, I want it to be handle both "single" POCO's, but if i need to pass/adapt a collection then this also must work eg:



IEnumerable<IAdaptee> OR IList<TAdaptee>


and return my own adapted object(s):



IEnumerable<IAdapted> OR IList<TAdapted>


I want to do something like the following:



public interface IGenericAdapter

TAdapted Adapt<TAdapted,TAdaptee>(TAdaptee adaptee);



Where I am coming unstuck is when I build my "Adapter" class, and then implement the above interface, I am getting constraint mismatch errors. This of course, makes sense, because If i am applying constraints to the classes which implement the interface, and the interface doesn't have them, then of course errors occur.



So:



public class AToBAdapter

public TAdapted Adapt<TAdapted,TAdaptee>(TAdaptee adaptee)
where TAdapted: IList<FooAdapted>
where TAdaptee: IList<FooAdaptee>

// I want my constraints to be active here, as I need to perform specific operations here




The above works fine in and of itself, which is fine. But I want to hide all this behind a generic interface that I can use whenever it suits.



Of course, Once i add this it fails due to no constraints on the interface, yet constraints on the implementing class.



public class AToBAdapter:IAdapterGeneric


What's the magic bullet here which will enable me to build a truly generic Adapter - I'm guessing certain constraints on the interface? casting? but need assistance on the best course of action.

  • Ok. Let's use comething like a hotel comparison site (it's not what I'm doing but an example) Let's say i want to pull data from tripadvisor,agoda,booking,hotelscombined. Each of these have their own "Models" in place fo what they name a hotel. Ex - HotelName, Name,PropertyName etc. I want to to get all this data and adapt it into my own. EX IList<MyHotelData> = Adapter.Adapt<MyAdaptedData,TripAdvisorModel> and IList<MyHotelData> = Adapter.Adapt<MyAdaptedData,AgodaModel> and effectively "Adapt" to MY model.

If you have access to your external models, you could use an interface as a marker:



public interface IAdaptee 
public interface IAdapted


And use those interfaces as your adapter interface constraints:



public interface IGenericAdapter<out TAdapted, in TAdaptee>
where TAdaptee : IAdaptee
where TAdapted : IAdapted

TAdapted Adapt(TAdaptee adaptee);



You could pass this adapter into a helper method for adapting multiple objects (assuming the adapt logic stays the same for multiple):



public IEnumerable<TAdapted> AdaptMultiple<TAdapted, TAdaptee>
(IEnumerable<TAdaptee> adaptees, IGenericAdapter<TAdapted, TAdaptee> adapter)
where TAdaptee : IAdaptee
where TAdapted : IAdapted

return adaptees.Select(adapter.Adapt);



For example, we can construct the following concrete classes:



public class ConcreteAdaptee : IAdaptee 

public class ConcreteAdapted : IAdapted

public class ConcreteAdapter : IGenericAdapter<ConcreteAdapted, ConcreteAdaptee>

public ConcreteAdapted Adapt(ConcreteAdaptee adaptee)

// Adapt Logic

return new ConcreteAdapted();




And adapt them as such:



IGenericAdapter<ConcreteAdapted, ConcreteAdaptee> adapter = new ConcreteAdapter();

var adaptee = new ConcreteAdaptee();
var adapted = adapter.Adapt(adaptee);

var adaptees = new List<ConcreteAdaptee>();
var adapteds = AdaptMultiple(adaptees, adapter);

  • Hi Kyle, This is close to the mark. I have to go out shortly so I can't fully test/investigate this. My question to you is .... what about casting inside the adapt method. If we are using a specific ConcreteAdapter, then the concrete classes themselves know what is going in -> going out ... so public TAdapted Adapt<TAdapted,TAdaptee>(TAdaptee adaptee) IList<External> external = (IList<External)adaptee; //perform full adapt; return internal model;??

    I think you would want to create an adapter specific to each unique adaptee/adapted pair you have, so that you wouldn't have to typecheck inside the adapter. If you need a way to find the correct adapter, you could use dependency injection to inject an adapter based on the input object's type and the concrete object you'd like to adapt to.

consider the following example :



interface IDog

void Bark();


interface ICat

void Meow();

class SomeDog : IDog

public void Bark()

Console.WriteLine(@"bark bark");



class SomeCat : ICat

public void Meow()

Console.WriteLine(@"meow meow");



class CatToDogAdapter : IDog

private ICat cat;
public CatToDogAdapter(ICat cat)

this.cat = cat;


public void Bark()

cat.Meow();



new Dog().Bark(); // bark bark
new CatToDogAdapter().Bark();// meow meow


this is how adapter works.



Let say you have a model MyAdaptedData and you recive data containing HotelName, Name,PropertyName from agoda , booking and tripadviser
for each booking model you need to write adapter



AgodaAdapter : MyAdaptedData
public AgodaAdapter(AgodaModel agodaModel)
....

public stirng HotelName
get
return agodaModel.HotelNamebyAgoda;


....



Same for booking and tripadvisor.
Adapter pattern helps you to retrieve necessary data from external models.



Then you need to create specific adapter depending on the adaptee type. Use Factory method pattern



MyAdaptedData AdaptersFactory(object adaptee)

if(adaptee is AgodaModel)
return new AgodaAdapter(adaptee);
....
if(adaptee is XBookingModel)
return new XBookingAdapter(adaptee);

    • Hi Kyle, This is close to the mark. I have to go out shortly so I can't fully test/investigate this. My question to you is .... what about casting inside the adapt method. If we are using a specific ConcreteAdapter, then the concrete classes themselves know what is going in -> going out ... so public TAdapted Adapt<TAdapted,TAdaptee>(TAdaptee adaptee) IList<External> external = (IList<External)adaptee; //perform full adapt; return internal model;??

      I think you would want to create an adapter specific to each unique adaptee/adapted pair you have, so that you wouldn't have to typecheck inside the adapter. If you need a way to find the correct adapter, you could use dependency injection to inject an adapter based on the input object's type and the concrete object you'd like to adapt to.

    consider the following example :



    interface IDog

    void Bark();


    interface ICat

    void Meow();

    class SomeDog : IDog

    public void Bark()

    Console.WriteLine(@"bark bark");



    class SomeCat : ICat

    public void Meow()

    Console.WriteLine(@"meow meow");



    class CatToDogAdapter : IDog

    private ICat cat;
    public CatToDogAdapter(ICat cat)

    this.cat = cat;


    public void Bark()

    cat.Meow();



    new Dog().Bark(); // bark bark
    new CatToDogAdapter().Bark();// meow meow


    this is how adapter works.



    Let say you have a model MyAdaptedData and you recive data containing HotelName, Name,PropertyName from agoda , booking and tripadviser
    for each booking model you need to write adapter



    AgodaAdapter : MyAdaptedData
    public AgodaAdapter(AgodaModel agodaModel)
    ....

    public stirng HotelName
    get
    return agodaModel.HotelNamebyAgoda;


    ....



    Same for booking and tripadvisor.
    Adapter pattern helps you to retrieve necessary data from external models.



    Then you need to create specific adapter depending on the adaptee type. Use Factory method pattern



    MyAdaptedData AdaptersFactory(object adaptee)

    if(adaptee is AgodaModel)
    return new AgodaAdapter(adaptee);
    ....
    if(adaptee is XBookingModel)
    return new XBookingAdapter(adaptee);
