A sample application for Clean Architecture: Patterns, Practices, and Principles using Microsoft .NET 9.0.
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.
There are three variations of this project to demonstrate various practices:
-
main - contains the simplest implementation used to demonstrate the practices taught in the course at the expense of a bit of coupling with the Entity Framework abstractions
-
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 persistence layer -- an even cleaner but also more complex approach
This demo application uses the following technologies:
- .NET Core 9.0
- C# .NET 13.0
- ASP.NET Core MVC 9.0
- EF Core 9.0
- Visual Studio 2022
- SQL Server 2022
- Scrutor 6.0
- NUnit 4.3
- Moq 4.20
- SpecFlow 3.9
