I generated a visual while trying to reconcile the iDesign and Clean Architecture architectural patterns. The visual helped cement some important ideas, but I never published it. Here I’ll revisit the visual and review how my ideas have changed.
I’ve been on a long journey of meshing IDesign with Clean Architecture. Managers, engines, and utilities fit nicely, but accessors seemed too substantial for an adapter and not independent enough for a true service. At last, I’ve realized the place of accessors by building off their relationship to utilities. Accessors are independent services, not servants to managers.
I’ve been on a long journey of meshing IDesign with Clean Architecture. Accessors have been a conceptual sticking point.
Understanding Clean Architecture has transformed my approach to architecture. Now I feel like my understanding has evolved one step further by understanding its parent pattern’s name, Ports and Adapters.
I posted about Synthesizing Project Organization Methods a few months ago. Well… I’ve been busy putting it to practice in my own code, and the results have been been beyond my expectations!
