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.

Testing Factories


You'll see a common pattern while writing your tests. This is because building Entities and complex Aggregates can be a very tedious and repetitive process. Inevitably, complexity and duplication will start creeping into your test suite. Consider the following Entity:

class Author
{
    private $username;
    private $email ;
    private $fullName;

    public function __construct(
        Username $aUsername,
        FullName $aFullName,
        Email $anEmail
    ) {
        $this->username = $aUsername;
        $this->email = $anEmail ;
        $this->fullName = $aFullName;
    }

    // ...
}

Somewhere in your system, you'll end up with a test looking like this:

class MyTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    /**
     * @test
     */
    public function itDoesSomething()
    {
        $author = new Author(
            new Username('johndoe'),
            new FullName('John', 'Doe' ),
            new Email('[email protected]' )
        );

        //do something...
