I discovered Clean Architecture by Robert C. Martin

1 min read

Recently, I've been working on a personal web development project using Angular and .NET Core. The architecture of the .NET Core portion was fairly simple, with controllers calling the Entity Framework context to do CRUD operations on the database. When it came time to add authentication to the application things started to get messy; I like being clean. I wanted to find a way to add Identity Framework to the project so that it was possible to change in the future, that's when my search led me to the Clean Architecture Pattern by 'Uncle Bob' (He's everyone's uncle?).

Out of all the concepts, patterns and principles in the book I want to implement these into my application: Tymish.

  • Project should scream 'Time Sheet Application'
  • Core domain should be decoupled from the user interface
  • Core domain should be decoupled from any frameworks
  • Core domain should be decoupled from any data persistence

My Current API architecture

The original layout of the application when first developed.

Seems straight forward but not 100% sure on how this will turn out. I can already see there's going to be a few challenges so I'll write about them and their solutions as I refactor the code.

Code is hosted on Github here.
