Domain-Driven Design in PHP

By: Keyvan Akbary, Carlos Buenosvinos, Christian Soronellas

Overview of this book

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) has arrived in the PHP community, but for all the talk, there is very little real code. Without being in a training session and with no PHP real examples, learning DDD can be challenging. This book changes all that. It details how to implement tactical DDD patterns and gives full examples of topics such as integrating Bounded Contexts with REST, and DDD messaging strategies. In this book, the authors show you, with tons of details and examples, how to properly design Entities, Value Objects, Services, Domain Events, Aggregates, Factories, Repositories, Services, and Application Services with PHP. They show how to apply Hexagonal Architecture within your application whether you use an open source framework or your own.

Once we have the data encapsulated in a request, it's time for the business logic. As Vaughn Vernon says: "Keep Application Services thin, using them only to coordinate tasks on the model."

The first thing to do is to extract the necessary information from the request, That is, the email and password. At a high level, we need to check if there's an existing user with a particular email. If this isn't the case, then we create and add the user to the UserRepository. In the special case of finding a user with the same email, we raise an exception so the client can treat it their own way — by displaying an error, retrying, or just ignoring it:

namespace Lw\Application\Service\User;

use Ddd\Application\Service\ApplicationService;
use Lw\Domain\Model\User\User;
use Lw\Domain\Model\User\UserAlreadyExistsException;
use Lw\Domain\Model\User\UserRepository;

class SignUpUserService
{
    private $userRepository;

    public function __construct(UserRepository $userRepository...
