Domain-Driven Design base classes and contracts

Project description

Python‑DDD‑Infrastructure

A lightweight Python library offering building blocks for Domain‑Driven Design (DDD). Provides base classes and utility mixins to help structure your domain model cleanly in terms of entities, value objects, aggregates, and events.


✨ Features

  • Core DDD abstractions:

    • ValueObject — immutable objects compared by value.
    • Entity — objects with a unique identity.
    • AggregateRoot — consistency boundary for aggregates.
    • DomainEvent — support for domain events in an event‑driven or event‑sourced architecture.
  • Clean, minimal dependencies and a small surface area so you can integrate it with your existing projects without a heavy footprint.


📦 Installation

Install from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/ariana126/Python‑DDD‑Infrastructure.git

or PyPI

pip install dddx

🛠 Usage

Here’s a simple example of how you might use the components in your domain layer.

from ddd import ValueObject, Entity, AggregateRoot, DomainEvent

# Value Object Example
class Money(ValueObject):
    def __init__(self, amount: float, currency: str):
        self._amount = amount
        self._currency = currency

    @property
    def amount(self):
        return self._amount

    @property
    def currency(self):
        return self._currency

# Entity Example
class Product(Entity):
    def __init__(self, product_id: str, name: str, price: Money):
        super().__init__(entity_id=product_id)
        self._name = name
        self._price = price

    @property
    def name(self):
        return self._name

    @property
    def price(self):
        return self._price

# AggregateRoot + DomainEvent Example
class ProductCreated(DomainEvent):
    def __init__(self, product_id: str, name: str, price: Money):
        self.product_id = product_id
        self.name = name
        self.price = price

class Inventory(AggregateRoot):
    def __init__(self, inventory_id: str):
        super().__init__(aggregate_id=inventory_id)
        self._products = {}

    def add_product(self, product: Product):
        # Some business invariants could be checked here
        self._products[product.id] = product
        self.record_event(ProductCreated(product.id, product.name, product.price))

🌐 Contribution

Contributions are very welcome! If you find bugs, have ideas for enhancements, or want to add features, please feel free to open an issue or a pull request. Some suggestions:

  • Add more domain values (e.g. price, currency)
  • Support serialization / deserialization of aggregates and events
  • Expand documentation, provide practical real‑world examples
