# Domain-driven design: bounded contexts & layers
This project is **domain-driven**: the code is organised first by **bounded context**
(a business capability with its own language) and then by **layer** inside each context,
with dependencies pointing inward. The Storybook sidebar is laid out to **be** that
architecture, not just document it: **Foundations** (this curriculum) → **Design System**
(reusable, domain-free) → **Domein** (the app-local DDD contexts). If a component lives
under a context's `ui/`, or under `libs/beheer/ui`, it's in Domein; everything else in
`libs/shared/ui`/`layout` is Design System. See [Atomic design](?path=/docs/foundations-atomic-design--docs)
for the Atoms → Molecules → Organisms → Templates ladder inside Design System.
## Two apps, two shared libraries
This is a **monorepo**: two Angular projects share one backend and one shared library.
```
apps//src/app/// — app-local bounded context
libs//src// — cross-app library
```
- `apps/ssp` — the Zorgverlener self-service portal. Contexts: `auth`, `registratie`,
`herregistratie`, `brief` (letter-composition teaching slice), `showcase` (teaching
page, sanctioned to read every context in its own app — nothing imports it).
- `apps/behandelportal` — the Behandelaar backoffice (ADR-0002). Contexts: `auth`,
`behandeling`.
- `libs/shared` — the design system + kernel + generated API client. No business logic.
The base layer: depends on nothing app- or context-specific.
- `libs/beheer` — the admin/stamdata context, used identically by both apps.
`auth` is deliberately **not** shared even though today it's near-identical in both
apps — ADR-0002 models Zorgverlener/Medewerker as different `Principal` variants with
different login flows, so the two copies are expected to diverge.
**Dependencies only point inward, in one declared direction between contexts:**
```
overzicht → registratie → libs/shared|beheer (ssp)
herregistratie → registratie → libs/shared|beheer (ssp)
auth → libs/shared|beheer (ssp)
brief → libs/shared|beheer (ssp)
behandeling → libs/shared|beheer (behandelportal)
auth → libs/shared|beheer (behandelportal)
```
Never the other way — `registratie` may not import `herregistratie`, no context but
`libs/shared`/`libs/beheer` is imported by everyone, an app may not import the other
app's source, and `libs/shared` may not depend on `libs/beheer` (shared stays the base,
beheer a peer leaf).
## Five layers, one direction
| Layer | Job | Angular allowed? |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| `domain/` | business rules + data types | **No — pure TS.** |
| `application/` | coordinate state/tasks (stores, commands) | yes (signals) |
| `infrastructure/` | where data comes from (HTTP adapters) | yes (HTTP) |
| `contracts/` | wire DTOs (the FE⇄BE seam) | no |
| `ui/` | how it looks (components, pages) | yes |
`ui → application → domain`; `ui`/`layout` never import `infrastructure/` directly — they
reach data through an application store or command.
## This is enforced, not just written down
`npm run dep:check` (dependency-cruiser) fails the build on every rule above. One shared
rule _factory_ (`.dependency-cruiser.base.js`) is instantiated once per app — each app is
cruised separately against its own `tsconfig.json`, since `apps/ssp` and
`apps/behandelportal` each declare `@auth/*` pointing at a different physical directory
and a single merged tsconfig can't resolve both at once:
- `domain/` importing `@angular/*` at all (any context, either app).
- `libs/shared` importing an app feature context, or `libs/beheer` — the base layer
depends on nothing.
- `libs/beheer` importing an app feature context.
- an app importing the other app's source directly.
- `registratie/` importing `@herregistratie/*`/`@brief/*`, `auth/`/`brief/` importing a
sibling context — the cross-context direction above, one `.dependency-cruiser..js`
per app.
- `contracts/**` importing **anything** — not Angular, not an alias, not even a relative
path (ADR-0001's wire seam has to stay a pure DTO shape).
- `ui/**`/`layout/**` importing `*/infrastructure/*` — the anti-corruption boundary
(ADR-0001) stays behind a store/command, so a page can never bypass it and hand-recompute
a business rule the backend already decided.
- The generated `ApiClient` imported as a value outside an `infrastructure/` adapter
(type-only DTO imports are exempt — they grant no network access).
`showcase` gets a documented exemption from the "nothing reaches across" rule
(`showcase: null` in `.dependency-cruiser.ssp.js`) — it reads every context in its own
app, for side-by-side teaching pages. The dev-only state panel (`apps/ssp/src/app/shell/debug-state`)
reads every root store too, but needs no such exemption: it lives outside any enumerated
context, so the per-context scoping rule never applies to it in the first place.
`npm run lint` (`eslint.config.mjs`) is a separate gate — mainly the `any`-free rule —
and no longer carries the import-boundary rules above (moved to dependency-cruiser,
so they don't have to be hand-copied per context).
## The English/Dutch seam
Shared/reusable UI is named in **English** (language-agnostic: `button`, `wizard-shell`);
domain contexts are named in **Dutch** (`registratie`, `herregistratie`, `*.machine.ts`).
Pick the language by which side of the seam the code is on — it's the same seam this
sidebar's Design System/Domein split makes visible.
## See it in the sidebar
Compare a Design System primitive with the same shape reused across contexts:
- [Design System → Molecules → Application Link](?path=/story/design-system-molecules-application-link--navigatie) —
domain-free, the caller supplies heading/subtitle/cta.
- [Domein → Registratie → Aanvraag Block](?path=/story/domein-registratie-aanvraag-block--concept) —
a context-specific organism composed from Design System atoms/molecules.
