Repository Generator
Generate DDD-compliant Repository interfaces and implementation stubs.
Repository Characteristics
- Interface in Domain: Contract defined in Domain layer
- Implementation in Infrastructure: Doctrine/Eloquent/etc. implementation
- Works with Aggregates: Not entities directly
- Collection-like: Find, save, remove operations
- No business logic: Only persistence operations
Generation Process
Step 1: Generate Interface
Path: src/Domain/{BoundedContext}/Repository/
-
{AggregateRoot}RepositoryInterface.php— Domain contract
Step 2: Generate Implementation
Path: src/Infrastructure/Persistence/Doctrine/
-
Doctrine{AggregateRoot}Repository.php— Doctrine implementation
Step 3: Generate In-Memory Repository (Optional)
Path: tests/Infrastructure/Persistence/
-
InMemory{AggregateRoot}Repository.php— For unit testing
Step 4: Generate Integration Tests
Path: tests/Integration/Infrastructure/Persistence/
File Placement
| Component | Path |
|---|---|
| Interface | src/Domain/{BoundedContext}/Repository/ |
| Doctrine Impl | src/Infrastructure/Persistence/Doctrine/ |
| In-Memory | tests/Infrastructure/Persistence/ |
| Integration Tests | tests/Integration/Infrastructure/Persistence/ |
Naming Conventions
| Component | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Interface | {AggregateRoot}RepositoryInterface |
OrderRepositoryInterface |
| Doctrine Impl | Doctrine{AggregateRoot}Repository |
DoctrineOrderRepository |
| In-Memory | InMemory{AggregateRoot}Repository |
InMemoryOrderRepository |
Quick Template Reference
Interface
interface {AggregateRoot}RepositoryInterface
{
public function findById({AggregateRoot}Id $id): ?{AggregateRoot};
public function save({AggregateRoot} $aggregate): void;
public function remove({AggregateRoot} $aggregate): void;
public function nextIdentity(): {AggregateRoot}Id;
}
Doctrine Implementation
final readonly class Doctrine{AggregateRoot}Repository implements {AggregateRoot}RepositoryInterface
{
public function __construct(
private EntityManagerInterface $em
) {}
public function findById({AggregateRoot}Id $id): ?{AggregateRoot}
{
return $this->em->find({AggregateRoot}::class, $id->value);
}
public function save({AggregateRoot} $aggregate): void
{
$this->em->persist($aggregate);
$this->em->flush();
}
public function remove({AggregateRoot} $aggregate): void
{
$this->em->remove($aggregate);
$this->em->flush();
}
public function nextIdentity(): {AggregateRoot}Id
{
return {AggregateRoot}Id::generate();
}
}
In-Memory Implementation
final class InMemory{AggregateRoot}Repository implements {AggregateRoot}RepositoryInterface
{
private array $items = [];
public function findById({AggregateRoot}Id $id): ?{AggregateRoot}
{
return $this->items[$id->value] ?? null;
}
public function save({AggregateRoot} $aggregate): void
{
$this->items[$aggregate->id()->value] = $aggregate;
}
public function clear(): void
{
$this->items = [];
}
}
Design Rules
| Rule | Good | Bad |
|---|---|---|
| Layer Placement | Interface in Domain | Interface in Infrastructure |
| Aggregate Scope | Repository per aggregate root | Repository per entity |
| Query Methods | Simple filters | Business logic in queries |
| Identity | nextIdentity() method |
External ID generation |
Anti-patterns to Avoid
| Anti-pattern | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Entity Repository | Bypasses aggregate | Only aggregate roots |
| Business Queries | Logic in repository | Use Specification pattern |
| Infrastructure Leak | Domain depends on ORM | Interface in Domain |
| Generic Repository | Too abstract | Specific per aggregate |
| Missing nextIdentity | Can't generate IDs | Add to interface |
