README

Write highly encapsulated and loosely coupled modules, for domain-centric architecture.

Read the docs here.

What is this?

You've decided to use domain-driven design (DDD) as your architectural approach. You've engaged with business experts, maybe even held some Event Storming sessions, and can now talk fluently in the ubiquitous language of your domain. Now you need to start writing the domain code.

But how?! 🤔

How should your code be structured? How do you ensure that the bounded context you're writing is entirely encapsulated? How do you enforce architectural boundaries between bounded contexts, and ensure that they are loosely coupled?

Don't worry, we've got you!

This package provides a conceptual approach and a set of tooling to help you write loosely coupled and highly encapsulated bounded contexts - or modules - in PHP.

Whether you are on a journey to split a monolith into a modular monolith, or building out a microservices architecture, this package will help you keep your bounded contexts clean, highly unit-testable, and easy to reason about. It also ensures you have code consistency across all bounded contexts, while allowing plenty of flexibility for each context to be tailored to its specific needs.

Where to Start?

This package provides a common PHP toolset for writing domain-centric modules.

It can be tempting to dive straight into the code - you'll need to resist that temptation!

The key to achieving highly encapsulated and loosely coupled modules is how you use the tools in this package. That is described in the documentation - so ensure you read the docs before using these tools.
