This repository is an example Django project that follows the principles of Domain-Driven Design (DDD). The template is organized into three layers: Application, Domain, and Infrastructure.
The Application layer contains the use cases of the application and acts as the input port.
The Domain layer contains the business logic of the application. The Domain layer is the core of the application and defines the application's behavior.
The Infrastructure layer contains the input and output adapters of the application. It includes the API, DB, and Repositories sublayers.
The API sublayer contains everything related to the application's REST API. It includes the Django views that act as the input adapters and handle HTTP requests.
The DB sublayer contains everything related to the application's output schema. It includes the Django models that act as the output adapters and represent the data in the database.
The Repositories sublayer contains the implementation of the output ports defined in the Domain layer. It provides the necessary methods to store and retrieve data from the database.
The Configuration folder contains all the general Django configuration files, including settings, URLs, and middleware.
To use this template, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository
- Create a virtual environment and activate it
- Install the dependencies with
pip install -r requirements.txt - Delete example code / use it as a guide for how to use the project structure
This template provides a starting point for building a Django application that follows the principles of Domain-Driven Design. By separating the layers of the application, it is easier to maintain and test the code, and to make changes to the business logic without affecting the infrastructure.
