Note
OpenDDD.NET is currently in beta. Features and documentation are under active development and subject to change.
OpenDDD.NET
OpenDDD.NET is an open-source framework for domain-driven design (DDD) development using C# and ASP.NET Core. It provides a set of powerful tools and abstractions to help developers build scalable, maintainable, and testable applications following the principles of DDD.
Purpose
The purpose of OpenDDD.NET is to simplify the adoption of DDD principles by offering ready-to-use building blocks, enabling developers to focus on business logic rather than infrastructure concerns.
Key Features
Aggregates: Define domain aggregates with clear boundaries and encapsulate domain logic within them.
Entities and Value Objects: Create entities and value objects to represent domain concepts and ensure strong type safety.
Repositories: Abstract away data access and enable persistence of domain objects.
Domain Events: Facilitate communication between domain objects while maintaining loose coupling.
Integration Events: Enable communication between bounded contexts in distributed systems.
Event Listeners: Manage event listeners to handle domain and integration events for scalable, event-driven architectures.
Domain Services: Encapsulate domain-specific operations that do not naturally belong to an entity or value object.
Application Services: Use Action classes to coordinate the execution of domain logic in response to commands.
Infrastructure Services: Provide implementations for technical concerns such as logging, email, or external integrations.
Transactional Outbox: Ensure event consistency by persisting and publishing events as part of database transactions.
