Alfred

Notice

Alfred is currently being migrated to Asp.Net Core with .Net Core as a target. Deployment on docker linux containers is soon. I'll keep you posted with the latest changes.

Presentation

Alfred is a community managing application. Its purpose is to facilitate the tasks of planning and monitoring the work of a group of people. It also comes with additional features inspired from the agile world such as displaying backlog, settings goals and reporting KPIs

Solution Structure

I used Domain Driven Design in my project. It seperates code to different layers and prevents it from leaking. On the other hand, it is time consuming because it needs writing a lot of code compared to other approaches. Here's how it looks:

1. Alfred.WebApi: WebApi project to expose Alfred services using REST
2. Alfred.IoC: IoC configuration has its own project for the sake of clarity and Dll referencing optimization
3. Alfred.Dal.Implementation.Fake: An implementation of Data Access Layer using in memory data provided by Bogus
4. Alfred.Dal: The required abstraction of the Data Access Layer by the domain layer
5. Alfred.Domain: The concrete implementation of Alfred's domain layer
6. Alfred: The abstraction of Alfred's domain layer
7. Alfred.Shared: Because no matter what, we always have common extension methods, enums, ... but NO LOGIC !

• Alfred.Logging: Provides logging features
• Alfred.Configuration: Provides configuration features

Next steps

1. Add more features to support score
2. Develop a proper DAL implementation
3. .Net core migration
