TwoRivers.Specifications

This project implements the Specification pattern. Intended for use in the Domain layer, it allows definition of business rules and criteria in a reusable and composable way.

Usage

To use the specifications, you can create classes that implement the ISpecification<T> interface. This interface defines a method IsSatisfiedBy that takes an object of type T and returns a boolean indicating whether the object satisfies the specification.

public class Customer
{
	public string Name { get; set; }
	public int Age { get; set; }
	public string Email { get; set; }
}

public class CustomerIsAdultSpecification : ISpecification<Customer>
{
	public bool IsSatisfiedBy(Customer customer)
	{
		return customer.Age >= 18;
	}
}

You can then use these specifications to evaluate objects in your domain logic:

var customer = new Customer { Age = 20 };
var isAdultSpec = new CustomerIsAdultSpecification();

if (isAdultSpec.IsSatisfiedBy(customer))
{
	Console.WriteLine("Customer is an adult.");
}
else
{
	Console.WriteLine("Customer is not an adult.");
}

Composing Specifications

One of the key benefits of the Specification pattern is that you can compose specifications together using logical operators. For example, you can create a specification that checks if a customer is an adult and has a valid email address:

public class CustomerHasValidEmailSpecification : ISpecification<Customer>
{
	public bool IsSatisfiedBy(Customer customer)
	{
		return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(customer.Email)
			&& customer.Email.IndexOf("@") > 0
			&& customer.Email.LastIndexOf(".") > customer.Email.IndexOf("@");
	}
}

var adultWithValidEmailSpec = new AndSpecification<Customer>(new CustomerIsAdultSpecification(), new CustomerHasValidEmailSpecification());

adultWithValidEmailSpec.IsSatisfiedBy(customer); // returns true if customer is an adult and has a valid email

Conclusion

The Specification pattern is a powerful tool for encapsulating business rules and criteria in a reusable and composable way. By defining specifications in your domain layer, you can keep your business logic clean and maintainable, while also making it easier to test and reuse your code.
