## Implementation Guidance and Best Practices
|
|
|
|
### **Core Architectural Patterns**
|
|
|
|
#### ILogic Interface Pattern
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Standard Implementation
|
|
public interface IAccountsLogic
|
|
{
|
|
Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(AccountFilter filter, bool mixMode);
|
|
Task<Result<AccountDTO>> SaveAccountAsync(AccountDTO accountDTO, bool mixMode);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// BL Implementation (Direct Database Access)
|
|
public class BLAccountsLogic : IAccountsLogic
|
|
{
|
|
public Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(AccountFilter filter, bool mixMode)
|
|
{
|
|
using (var session = new BLSession())
|
|
{
|
|
return session.GetBL<AccountWebServiceBL>().GetAccount(loggedInUser, filter);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// WS Implementation (Web Service Access)
|
|
public class WSAccountsLogic : IAccountsLogic
|
|
{
|
|
public Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(AccountFilter filter, bool mixMode)
|
|
{
|
|
return this._connection.CallWebServiceMethodWithSingleResultAsync(
|
|
f => f.GetAccount(this._connection.GetRequest(filter)));
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### ClassContainer Dependency Injection Usage
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Single Use Pattern
|
|
var result = await ClassContainer.Instance
|
|
.WithInstance((IAccountsLogic logic) => logic.GetAccountAsync(filter, mixMode))
|
|
.ThrowIfError();
|
|
|
|
// Multiple Use Pattern with Disposal
|
|
public class ViewModel : IDisposable
|
|
{
|
|
private readonly IAccountsLogic _logic;
|
|
|
|
public ViewModel()
|
|
{
|
|
_logic = ClassContainer.Instance.GetInstance<IAccountsLogic>();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public void Dispose()
|
|
{
|
|
ClassContainer.Instance.ReleaseInstance(_logic);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Result<T> Error Handling Pattern
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Method Signature Pattern
|
|
public Task<Result<AccountDTO>> GetAccountAsync(int accountI3D)
|
|
|
|
// Success Result Creation
|
|
return Result<AccountDTO>.AsSuccess(accountData);
|
|
|
|
// Error Result Creation
|
|
return Result<AccountDTO>.AsError("Account not found");
|
|
|
|
// Result Chaining
|
|
var result = await GetAccountAsync(id).ThrowIfError();
|
|
if (result.Status != ResultStatus.Success)
|
|
return Result<ProcessedAccount>.FromResult(result);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Data Access Patterns**
|
|
|
|
#### NHibernate Session Management
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Standard Session Pattern
|
|
public Task<Result<IList<AccountDTO>>> GetAccounts()
|
|
{
|
|
return Task.Run(() =>
|
|
{
|
|
using (var session = new BLSession())
|
|
{
|
|
var result = session.GetBL<AccountWebServiceBL>()
|
|
.GetAccounts(this._connectionInfo.GetLoggedInUser());
|
|
return result;
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### DTO Entity Conversion Pattern
|
|
```csharp
|
|
// Base BL to WebService BL Pattern
|
|
public class AccountWebServiceBL : BaseBL
|
|
{
|
|
private readonly AccountBL _accountBL;
|
|
|
|
public AccountWebServiceBL()
|
|
{
|
|
_accountBL = new AccountBL();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public Result<AccountDTO> SaveAccount(AccountDTO accountDTO)
|
|
{
|
|
// Convert DTO to Entity
|
|
var account = ConvertAccountDTOToAccount(accountDTO);
|
|
|
|
// Call base BL
|
|
var result = _accountBL.SaveAccount(account);
|
|
|
|
if (result.Status != ResultStatus.Success)
|
|
return Result<AccountDTO>.FromResult(result);
|
|
|
|
// Convert Entity back to DTO
|
|
return Result<AccountDTO>.AsSuccess(ObjectMapper.Map<AccountDTO>(result.Data));
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **UI Architecture Patterns**
|
|
|
|
#### MVVM ViewModel Pattern
|
|
```csharp
|
|
public class AccountViewModel : BindableBase, IDisposable
|
|
{
|
|
private readonly IAccountsLogic _accountsLogic;
|
|
private AccountDTO _selectedAccount;
|
|
|
|
public AccountDTO SelectedAccount
|
|
{
|
|
get { return _selectedAccount; }
|
|
set { SetProperty(ref _selectedAccount, value); }
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public DelegateCommand SaveAccountCommand { get; }
|
|
|
|
public AccountViewModel()
|
|
{
|
|
_accountsLogic = ClassContainer.Instance.GetInstance<IAccountsLogic>();
|
|
SaveAccountCommand = new DelegateCommand(ExecuteSaveAccount, CanExecuteSaveAccount);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
private async void ExecuteSaveAccount()
|
|
{
|
|
var result = await _accountsLogic.SaveAccountAsync(SelectedAccount, true);
|
|
if (result.Status == ResultStatus.Success)
|
|
{
|
|
// Update UI
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Module Registration Pattern
|
|
```csharp
|
|
public class AccountModuleController : ICentronAppModuleController
|
|
{
|
|
public CentronConnectionType[] SupportedConnectionTypes =>
|
|
new[] { CentronConnectionType.SqlServer, CentronConnectionType.CentronWebServices };
|
|
|
|
public int[] RequiredUserRights =>
|
|
new[] { UserRightsConst.Sales.Customer.SHOW_CUSTOMER };
|
|
|
|
public string[] RequiredFeatures =>
|
|
new[] { FeatureConst.CUSTOMER_MANAGEMENT };
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### **Integration Patterns**
|
|
|
|
#### External API Client Pattern
|
|
```csharp
|
|
public class FinApiClient : RestClientBase, IFinApiClient
|
|
{
|
|
public FinApiClient(RestClientCredentials credentials, bool sandBoxMode = false)
|
|
: base(sandBoxMode ? FinApiConstants.SandboxUrl : FinApiConstants.LiveUrl, credentials)
|
|
{
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public async Task<Result<User>> GetUserAccount()
|
|
{
|
|
if (_accessToken == null || _accessToken.IsExpired())
|
|
return Result<User>.AsError("No valid access token!");
|
|
|
|
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, FinApiConstants.UserPath);
|
|
var response = await SendRequestWithAccessToken(request, _accessToken);
|
|
|
|
return await DeserializeJsonContent<User>(response);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Anti-Pattern Identification and Remediation
|
|
|
|
### **Critical Anti-Patterns Found**
|
|
|
|
#### 1. Direct Database Access in UI Layer
|
|
**Problem**: Some UI components directly accessing database without using ILogic interfaces
|
|
**Impact**: Breaks architectural boundaries, prevents web service deployment
|
|
**Remediation**: Refactor to use ILogic interfaces through ClassContainer
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Synchronous Calls in Async Context
|
|
**Problem**: Using .Result or .Wait() in async methods
|
|
**Impact**: Potential deadlocks, poor performance
|
|
**Remediation**: Use await with ConfigureAwait(false)
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Missing Result<T> Error Handling
|
|
**Problem**: Some methods return void or throw exceptions instead of Result<T>
|
|
**Impact**: Inconsistent error handling, difficult debugging
|
|
**Remediation**: Convert all methods to return Result<T> pattern
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Hard-coded Connection Strings
|
|
**Problem**: Connection strings embedded in code instead of configuration
|
|
**Impact**: Deployment flexibility, security concerns
|
|
**Remediation**: Use configuration management patterns
|
|
|
|
### **Performance Anti-Patterns**
|
|
|
|
#### 1. N+1 Query Problems
|
|
**Problem**: Multiple database queries in loops
|
|
**Impact**: Poor performance, high database load
|
|
**Remediation**: Use batch loading or JOIN queries
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Missing Caching
|
|
**Problem**: Repeated expensive operations without caching
|
|
**Impact**: Unnecessary resource usage
|
|
**Remediation**: Implement appropriate caching strategies
|
|
|
|
#### 3. Large Object Graphs
|
|
**Problem**: Loading entire object hierarchies when only subset needed
|
|
**Impact**: Memory usage, network traffic
|
|
**Remediation**: Use projection patterns and lazy loading
|
|
|
|
