Clean Architecture Demo

A sample application for Clean Architecture: Patterns, Practices, and Principles using Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.

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.

Branches

There are three branches in this project to demonstrate various practices:

  • master - contains the simplest implementation used to demonstrate the practices taught in the course at the expense of a bit of coupling with the IDbSet interface from Entity Framework

  • 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 persistance layer -- an even cleaner but also more complex approach

This demo application uses the following technologies:

  • .NET Framework 4.8
