Koan Data Modeling
Core Principle
Entities are aggregates that encapsulate business logic and define clear boundaries. Use lifecycle hooks for invariants, value objects for cohesive data, and navigation helpers for relationships.
Quick Reference
Define Aggregate Boundary
public class Order : Entity<Order>
{
public string CustomerId { get; set; } = "";
public Money Total { get; private set; } = new(0m, "USD");
public OrderStatus Status { get; private set; } = OrderStatus.Draft;
// Business methods
public void MarkShipped() => Status = OrderStatus.Shipped;
// Navigation helper
public Task<Customer?> GetCustomer(CancellationToken ct = default) =>
Customer.Get(CustomerId, ct);
// Domain query
public static Task<List<Order>> RecentOrders(int days = 7, CancellationToken ct = default) =>
Query(o => o.Created > DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddDays(-days), ct);
}
Value Objects
public record Money(decimal Amount, string Currency);
public record Address(string Street, string City, string State, string Zip);
public class Invoice : Entity<Invoice>
{
public Money Total { get; set; } = new(0m, "USD");
public Address ShippingAddress { get; set; } = new("", "", "", "");
}
Lifecycle Hooks
public static class ProductLifecycle
{
public static void Configure(EntityLifecycleBuilder<Product> pipeline)
{
pipeline.ProtectAll()
.Allow(p => p.Price, p => p.Description)
.BeforeUpsert(async (ctx, next) =>
{
if (ctx.Entity.Price < 0)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Price cannot be negative");
await next();
})
.AfterLoad(ctx => ctx.Entity.FormattedPrice = $"${ctx.Entity.Price:F2}");
}
}
Relationships
public class Todo : Entity<Todo>
{
public string UserId { get; set; } = "";
public string? CategoryId { get; set; }
// Navigation helpers
public Task<User?> GetUser(CancellationToken ct = default) =>
User.Get(UserId, ct);
public Task<Category?> GetCategory(CancellationToken ct = default) =>
string.IsNullOrEmpty(CategoryId) ? Task.FromResult<Category?>(null)
: Category.Get(CategoryId, ct);
public Task<List<TodoItem>> GetItems(CancellationToken ct = default) =>
TodoItem.Query(i => i.TodoId == Id, ct);
}
