Koto.Domain
DDD building blocks for .NET microservices. Zero external dependencies.
Install
dotnet add package Koto.Domain
What's included
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
AggregateRoot<TId> |
Base class that collects domain events |
Entity<TId> |
Identity-based equality (transient entities are never equal) |
ValueObject |
Component-based equality |
StronglyTypedId<T> |
Typed wrappers for Guid / int / string IDs |
Result<T> |
Explicit success/failure without exceptions; carries one or many errors (Errors) |
Result (static) |
Success() / Failure(…) for void flows, Combine(…) to aggregate several results |
IResultFactory<TSelf> |
Static-abstract failure factory for generic infrastructure (no reflection) |
Error |
Structured error: Code + Message + optional Field |
Errors.General |
Shared factory errors (not-found, required, …) |
IDomainEvent / DomainEvent |
Event interfaces and base record (init properties survive JSON round-trips) |
Unit |
Return type for commands that produce no value |
IRepository<TAgg, TId>lives in Koto.Application (next toIUnitOfWork) — the port belongs to the layer that consumes it (handlers); the domain stays persistence-free.
Usage
Value Object
public sealed class Email : ValueObject
{
public string Value { get; }
private Email(string value) => Value = value;
public static Result<Email> Create(string value) =>
string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value) ? Errors.General.ValueIsRequired() :
value.Length > 150 ? Errors.General.InvalidLength(1, 150) :
new Email(value);
protected override IEnumerable<object?> GetEqualityComponents()
{
yield return Value.ToLowerInvariant();
}
}
Aggregate Root
public sealed record OrderId(Guid Value) : StronglyTypedId<Guid>(Value);
public class Order : AggregateRoot<OrderId>
{
public static Result<Order> Place(IReadOnlyList<OrderItem> items)
{
if (items.Count == 0)
return Errors.General.CollectionIsTooSmall(1, 0);
var order = new Order(new OrderId(Guid.NewGuid()));
order.AddDomainEvent(new OrderPlacedEvent(order.Id));
return order;
}
public Result<Unit> Cancel(string reason)
{
if (Status == OrderStatus.Cancelled)
return new Error("orders.already-cancelled", "Order is already cancelled.");
Status = OrderStatus.Cancelled;
AddDomainEvent(new OrderCancelledEvent(Id, reason));
return Unit.Value;
}
}
Result chaining
Result<OrderId> result = await ValidateAsync(request)
.BindAsync(dto => Order.Place(dto.Items))
.TapAsync(order => repository.Add(order))
.MapAsync(order => order.Id);
Multiple errors and Combine
// Aggregate several factory results — ALL errors are collected, not just the first:
var combined = Result.Combine(Email.Create(dto.Email), Name.Create(dto.Name));
if (combined.IsFailure)
return Result<User>.Failure(combined.Errors); // every error, each with its own Code
var (email, name) = combined.Value;
Async match
// Async success handler + sync failure handler — no Task.FromResult noise:
return await result.MatchAsync(
onSuccess: async order => await BuildResponseAsync(order, ct),
onFailure: error => ErrorResponse(error));
