README

A PHP library implementing Domain-Driven Design (DDD) patterns and CQRS architecture. Domantra provides a solid foundation for building scalable, maintainable applications following DDD principles with command and query separation.

Features

• Command and Query Buses for CQRS
• Domain Event Dispatching
• Pluggable Caching and Logging
• Easy integration with existing PHP projects

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Composer 2.0+

Basic Usage

It's recommended to use value objects for identifiers in your domain models.

namespace App\ValueObject; class UserId { public function __construct( public readonly string $value ) {} }

Create your domain models:

• Your domain models should extend the StrictlyPHP\Domantra\Domain\AbstractAggregateRoot class.
• Your event classes should implement the StrictlyPHP\Domantra\Command\EventInterface.
• The UseTimestamps attribute can be used to automatically handle createdAt, updatedAt and deletedAt timestamps.
• Use the recordAndApplyThat method to record an event and apply it to the model.

Your event class will look like this:

namespace App\Domain\User\Event; use StrictlyPHP\Domantra\Command\EventInterface; readonly class UserWasCreated implements EventInterface { public function __construct( public readonly UserId $id, public readonly string $username, public readonly string $email, public readonly DateTimeImmutable $happenedAt ) {} }

Your domain model will look like this:

namespace App\Domain\User; use StrictlyPHP\Domantra\Domain\UseTimestamps; use App\ValueObject\UserId; use StrictlyPHP\Domantra\Domain\AbstractAggregateRoot; use App\Domain\User\Event\UserWasCreated; #[UseTimestamps] class User extends AbstractAggregateRoot { public readonly UserId $id; public readonly string $username; public readonly string $email; public function __construct( ) {} public static function create( UserId $id, string $username, string $email, DateTimeImmutable $happenedAt ): self { $user = new self(); $model->recordAndApplyThat( new UserWasCreated( $id, $username, $email, $happenedAt ) ); return $user; } public function applyThatUserWasCreated(UserWasCreated $event): void { $this->id = $event->id; $this->username = $event->username; $this->email = $event->email; } }

Command Handling

Your command will look like this:

namespace App\Domain\User\Command; use App\ValueObject\UserId; use DateTimeImmutable; class CreateUserCommand { public UserId $id; public string $username; public string $email; public function __construct(UserId $id, string $username, string $email, DateTimeImmutable $happenedAt) { $this->id = $id; $this->username = $username; $this->email = $email; $this->happenedAt = $happenedAt; } }

Your command handler will look like this:

namespace App\Domain\User\Command; use App\Domain\User\User; class CreateUserHandler { public function __invoke(CreateUserCommand $command): User { $user = User::create( $command->id, $command->username, $command->email, $command->happenedAt ); /**   Add your own code to persist the user entity (e.g., save to a database)   **/ return $user; } }

The system will automatically cache your models, dispatch events for you and update timestamps if you used the UseTimestamps attribute.

You can then use the command bus to dispatch the command:

use Domantra\CommandBus; $commandBus = CommandBus::create(); $commandBus->registerHandler(CreateUserCommand::class, new CreateUserHandler()); $command = new CreateUserCommand('john_doe', 'john@example.com'); $commandBus->dispatch($command);

Query Handling

<?php namespace App\Domain\User\Query; use App\ValueObject\UserId; use App\Domain\User\User; class GetUserByIdHandler { public function __invoke(UserId $query) : User { // Fetch user data by ID (e.g., from a database) // Return user data as an array or DTO return [ 'id' => $query->userId, 'username' => 'john_doe', 'email' => 'john@example.com', ]; } }

You can then use the query bus to dispatch the query:

use Domantra\QueryBus; $queryBus = new QueryBus(); $queryBus->registerHandler(UserId::class, new GetUserByIdHandler()); $userId = new UserId('user-1'); $result = $queryBus->dispatch($userId);

The system will try to fetch the model from the cache first, and if it's not found, it will dispatch the query to the handler.
