Hands-On Domain-Driven Design with .NET Core

By: Alexey Zimarev

Overview of this book

Developers across the world are rapidly adopting DDD principles to deliver powerful results when writing software that deals with complex business requirements. This book will guide you in involving business stakeholders when choosing the software you are planning to build for them. By figuring out the temporal nature of behavior-driven domain models, you will be able to build leaner, more agile, and modular systems. You’ll begin by uncovering domain complexity and learn how to capture the behavioral aspects of the domain language. You will then learn about EventStorming and advance to creating a new project in .NET Core 2.1; you’ll also and write some code to transfer your events from sticky notes to C#. The book will show you how to use aggregates to handle commands and produce events. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with Bounded Contexts, Context Map, Event Sourcing, and CQRS. After translating domain models into executable C# code, you will create a frontend for your application using Vue.js. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to refactor your code and cover event versioning and migration essentials. By the end of this DDD book, you will have gained the confidence to implement the DDD approach in your organization and be able to explore new techniques that complement what you’ve learned from the book.

Summary

In this chapter, we composed a few aggregates and performed operations on them via the aggregate root. We also evaluated possible persistence methods for aggregates and learned about the concept of the repository—a place where the aggregate state is stored.

Now, it is time to find a way to store our domain objects in a database and see our application working for the first time. In the next chapter, we will take a deep dive into the topic of aggregate persistence.
