JJ.Framework.Business

Classes to support a business logic layer or an API.

  • OneToManyRelationship / ManyToOneRelationship
    • Makes it easier to keep parent-child relationships in your model in sync. If you add a child, its parent immediately changes too, and if you assign a child's parent, the parent's children collection is updated automatically.
  • Result<T> / VoidResult / ResultBase / IResult
    • An elegant way of returning data, along with a Successful flag and a list of messages.
  • ISideEffect
    • Used for some polymorphism between small pieces of business logic that go off as a result of altering or creating data. For instance storing the date time modified or setting default values or automatically generating a name might all be wrapped in side-effects, that are executed upon calling methods, like Create, Update and Delete. Using separate classes for side-effects, creates overview over those pieces of business logic, that are the most creative of all, and prevents those special things that need to happen from being entangled with other code.
  • EntityStatusHelper.GetListIsDirty
    • Compares two lists (a source list of data and a destination list of data). Determines whether a list is dirty. This means that it checks whether items were removed, added or changed. (The changing of items does not mean that the entities themselves are dirty, it means that a list position now points to another object.)

OneToManyRelationship / ManyToOneRelationship

Makes it easier to keep parent-child relationships in your model in sync. If you add a child, its parent immediately changes too, and if you assign a child's parent, the parent's children collection is updated automatically.

You start doing this by implementing OneToManyRelationship and ManyToOneRelationship classes:

class ParentToChildrenRelationship 
    : OneToManyRelationship<Element, Element> { }
class ChildToParentRelationship 
    : ManyToOneRelationship<Element, Element> { }

These two classes basically wrap a collection of children and a reference to a parent.

You may have noticed the Element class in the example above. This would be your own class. You can use your Relationship classes in your Element class:

class Element
{
    private ChildToParentRelationship _parentRelationship;

    public Element Parent
    {
        get => _parentRelationship.Parent;
        set => _parentRelationship.Parent = value;
    }

    public ParentToChildrenRelationship Children { get; }

    public Element()
    {
        _parentRelationship = new ChildToParentRelationship(this);
        Children = new ParentToChildrenRelationship(this);
    }
}

The code above works, because ParentToChildrenRelationship class can be accessed, as if it is a collection:

foreach (var x in element.Children) { }

The ChildToParentRelationship wraps the parent, which can be accessed as follows:

_parentRelationship.Parent

Your Relationship classes need some more work. You have to implement some methods. Their implementation is trivial:

class ParentToChildrenRelationship
    : OneToManyRelationship<Element, Element>
{
    public ParentToChildrenRelationship(Element parent) 
        : base(parent) { }

    protected override void SetParent(Element child) 
        => child.Parent = _parent;
    protected override void NullifyParent(Element child) 
        => child.Parent = null;
}

class ChildToParentRelationship
    : ManyToOneRelationship<Element, Element>
{
    public ChildToParentRelationship(Element child) 
        : base(child) { }

    protected override bool Contains(Element parent) 
        => parent.Children.Contains(_child);
    protected override void Add(Element parent) 
        => parent.Children.Add(_child);
    protected override void Remove(Element parent) 
        => parent.Children.Remove(_child);
}

So perhaps a little boilerplating to get it done. But the code is trivial. Internally the OneToManyRelationship and ManyToOneRelationship classes are simple. To keep your inverse properties in sync, it gives you exactly what you need, without being too obscure about what is going on.

There are edge cases under which the OneToManyRelationship and ManyToOneRelationship classes still work:

  • Non-nullable parents.
  • Parent and child not the same class.
  • Multiple relationships between the same classes.
  • Side-effects going off upon assigning parent or removing children.
  • You can control the underlying collection type of the children, if you want.
  • Using different property names than Parent and Children in your model.

They all require a slightly different code. The above is just the simplest example.
