Design Principles

This notes aggregates general software design principles that are applicable across different programming languages and projects.

• Dependency Injection & IOC
• Repository Pattern: The Repository pattern provides an abstraction layer between the data access logic and the rest of the application. It encapsulates the logic for retrieving, storing, and querying data from a persistent storage, such as a database. Repositories expose methods to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the underlying data source, hiding the implementation details and providing a consistent interface for data access.
• Unit of Work Pattern: The Unit of Work pattern is used to manage the transactional boundaries and coordination of multiple repository operations. It ensures that a group of related operations can be treated as a single transaction, either committing all changes together or rolling them back if an error occurs. In other words, it is an abstraction of a database transaction.
