Clean Architecture Demo
A sample application for Clean Architecture: Patterns, Practices, and Principles using Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.
This sample application is intended to be a learning tool for clean architecture practices. It incorporates several of these practices in a way that is simple and easy to understand.
If you'd like to learn more about this style of software architecture, please check out my online course Clean Architecture: Patterns, Practices, and Principles.
Branches
There are three branches in this project to demonstrate various practices:
-
master - contains the simplest implementation used to demonstrate the practices taught in the course at the expense of a bit of coupling with the IDbSet interface from Entity Framework
-
dbset-adaptor - uses a database adapter to completely decouple the application from the persistence layer -- a cleaner but slightly more complex approach
-
repo-and-uow - uses the repository and unit of work patterns to completely decouple the application from the persistance layer -- an even cleaner but also more complex approach
