Hi, it's little early to get some definitive on 4.3 best practices, but how would you set models interfaces and where did you put them?
on 4.2 and early, i normaly did something like
Me\Project -> Main Namespace
Me\Project\Models -> Holds Interfaces for Models
Me\Project\Models\Eloquent -> Holds models extending Eloquent Model
and them i bind them the Interfaces with the Eloquent models, making it little more easy to change to another ORM / DBAL implementation if needed.
On 4.3, how would you do something similar to allow better code imteroperatibily.
Thank you so much!
I think just a matter of create the directories that match your application "domain" or "business".
For example, for managing the application users i should create a users directory to store and organize the code related to this part of the domain, there i'll put my model, repository, commands and other components needed.
Hi, if you need to manage some business domain, I would create something as follow:
app
Domain
BusinessEntity1
Entities
BusinessEntity1
...
Factories
BusinessEntity1Factory
Repositories
IBusinessEntity1Repository
...
BusinessEntity2
Entities
BusinessEntity2
...
Factories
BusinessEntity2Factory
Repositories
IBusinessEntity2Repository
...
BusinessEntityN
DomainServices
...
Infraestructure (To manage the storage / persist)
Repositories
DB
AbstractDBRepository
BusinessEntity1DBRepository
BusinessEntity2DBRepository
Hope it helps you.
both sounds legit, thank you guys for your opinion
