kratos-biz-layer
Generates business logic layer components (use cases, repository interfaces, business models, validators) for go-kratos microservices following Clean Architecture. Use when implementing domain logic, creating entity CRUD operations, adding validation rules, or orchestrating data access in kratos services.

How Kratos Business Layer Works
Clean Architecture Dependency Rule
The business layer (biz) is the core of Clean Architecture in Kratos microservices:
Dependency Flow: Service → Biz → Data
- Biz defines interfaces that data layer implements
- Biz contains business logic independent of frameworks
- Biz uses domain models not ORM entities
Domain-Driven Structure (Current Pattern)
The biz layer follows domain-driven design with these subdirectories:
1. Domain Layer (internal/biz/domain/)
-
models.go- Domain entities with validation tags -
interfaces.go- Repository, use case, and event publisher interfaces -
errors.go- Domain errors (ErrSymbolNotFound) and data layer errors (ErrDataNotFound)
2. Use Case Layer (internal/biz/{entity}/)
-
usecase.go- Use case implementation -
usecase_test.go- Use case tests with event assertions -
validator.go- Validation logic factory
3. Event Layer (internal/biz/event/) - Optional
-
mapper.go- Event payload transformations -
topics.go- Event topic constants
4. Provider (internal/biz/provider.go)
- Wire ProviderSet for dependency injection
Error Separation Pattern
Data Layer Errors (returned by repositories):
-
domain.ErrDataNotFound- Record not found -
domain.ErrDataDuplicateEntry- Unique constraint violation -
domain.ErrDataDatabase- Generic database error
Domain Errors (returned by use cases):
-
domain.ErrSymbolNotFound- Symbol not found (business error) -
domain.ErrDuplicateSymbol- Duplicate symbol (business error) -
domain.ErrDatabaseOperation- Database operation failed
Pattern: Repositories return data errors, use cases map to domain errors via toDomainError() helper.
Event Publishing Pattern
Use cases integrate event publishing for domain events:
- Accept
domain.{Entity}EventPublisherinterface - Publish events within transactions
- Transaction rolls back if publishing fails
Example:
err := uc.tm.InTx(ctx, func(ctx context.Context) error {
symbol, err = uc.repo.Create(ctx, s)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return uc.pub.PublishSymbolCreated(ctx, symbol)
})
Wire Dependency Injection
All constructors must be added to ProviderSet in internal/biz/provider.go:
var ProviderSet = wire.NewSet(symbol.NewValidator, symbol.NewUseCase)
After changes, run make generate to regenerate Wire code.

- Create a new entity (use case + interface + model + validator)
- Add methods to existing use case
- Create standalone validator
- View examples and patterns

<success_criteria> Business layer code is correct when:
Structure:
- Domain models in
internal/biz/domain/models.go - Interfaces in
internal/biz/domain/interfaces.go - Errors in
internal/biz/domain/errors.go - Use case in
internal/biz/{entity}/usecase.go - Validator in
internal/biz/{entity}/validator.go - Tests in
internal/biz/{entity}/usecase_test.go
Use Case Implementation:
- Struct has repo, pub, log, validator, tm fields
- Constructor returns interface type (domain.{Entity}UseCase)
- Methods accept context.Context as first parameter
- Validation happens before repository calls
- Data errors mapped to domain errors via
toDomainError() - Events published within transactions
- All errors logged with context
Domain Layer:
- Repository interface in
domain/interfaces.go - Event publisher interface in
domain/interfaces.go(if events) - Business model in
domain/models.gowith validation tags - Domain errors (ErrSymbolNotFound) separated from data errors (ErrDataNotFound)
Wire Integration:
- Constructor added to ProviderSet in
internal/biz/provider.go - User reminded to run
make generate</success_criteria>
