Intent.Application.DomainInteractions

What This Module Does

Provides generation strategies for domain interaction implementations (e.g., find, create/update, projection patterns) defined using the Domain Interactions modelling specialization. It standardizes how application layer code orchestrates domain entity access and mutation beyond basic CRUD.

Generated Behaviour (Conceptual)

  • Interaction registration extension (via factory extension) wiring interaction strategies into the software factory pipeline.
  • Implementations for modeled interaction types (e.g., ProjectTo, FindById, CreateOrUpdate) guided by domain model metadata.

Interoperability

Detects related modelling modules: Domain, Services, Domain Interactions, Event Interactions, CRUD MediatR – ensuring presence of necessary metadata and base abstractions.

Typical Workflow

  1. Model a Domain Interaction (e.g., a projection aggregating several entities).
  2. Run generation; module produces interaction implementation code and registers it.
  3. Application services or request handlers invoke the interaction class/method instead of constructing repository queries manually.
  4. Adjust/extend generated code via merge mode for specialized logic (validation, caching, authorization checks).

Customization Points

  • Extend generated interaction partial classes with business rules.
  • Introduce caching wrappers around expensive projections.
  • Inject additional domain services (e.g., calculators, policy evaluators).
  • Intent.Application.MediatR.CRUD
  • Intent.Application.ServiceImplementations.Conventions.CRUD
  • Intent.Entities.Repositories.Api
  • Intent.Eventing.Contracts (for interactions emitting events)
