Moving From Standard MVC to Hexagonal Architecture This is a fast presentation aiming to show what frameworks offer as a standard MVC together with some classes which people implement which they call "Services"…

The way of the future, is sometimes partially the way of the past.

Hexagonal Architecture for Web Apps:

* Framework Layer - The most outer part of the Layers, containing code that your application uses but are actually not the application logic itself. Includes third party applications and services like HTTP, SQL, Queues, etc.

* Application Layer - Sits between the Framework and Domain layer orchestrating the use of elements found in the Domain Layer. Also adapts requests from the Framework layer to the Domain Layer. The Database Abstraction that knows how to work with the DB resides here, there can be an event dispatcher and a command bus giving commands to the inner layers.

* (Core) Domain Layer - The inner most layer(s) containing the business logic, defining how the layer outside (Application) can communicate with it. Policies and Specifications are all part of this layer. If the application consists of lot of behavior the layer would be quite huge, filled with a lot of classes modeling parts of the real life interaction between objects. Some of the Objects

Contained inside are:
** Value Objects - small objects representing unidentifiable things, like pieces of puzzle or money. The can have value but no serial number to identify them and the values can repeat. Value objects are usually *immutable* meaning that once created they cannot be changed, only new value objects can be produced from them. They should contain always valid information.

** Entities - Has the same properties as Value Objects although they should be identifiable by a trait/id/reference meaning that they can be discovered and only one Entity is returned by id.

** Aggregates - Cluster of Domain objects that are identifiable by the Aggregate root which is an entity. Any reference to the information in the Aggregate should be found through the root only.

** Service - A standalone operation in the context of the Domain. Keeps no state beside dependencies which it uses to combine and execute certain behavior for certain use case.

** Repositories - Repositories know how to mediate between the Domain and the Data Abstraction/Mapping in the Application Layer using a collection-like interface for accessing Domain Objects.

** Events - Captures the memories of interesting behavior that affects the Domain. Handlers in the Application layer can be attached to events to execute commands such as projecting/persisting data into the Data Base via the DB Abstraction Layer or Dispatching/Processing some additional Infrastructure Operations such as sending emails, generating reports etc.

Seach and you will find.

There’s reportedly a big, secret spreadsheet where Google employees share their salaries And an ex-employee says Google isn't psyched about it.

echo $word;

Expecting output Banana?
