Are you tired of organizing your project across layers? Vertical Slice Architecture is a compelling alternative to traditional layered architectures. VSA flips the script on how we structure code. Instead of horizontal layers (Presentation, Application, Domain), VSA organizes code by feature. Each feature encompasses everything it needs, from API endpoints to data access. In this video, we will explore how you can structure vertical slices in VSA.

Hi Milan, you produce so many interesting videos, that it takes all my day to view all of them !

Glad you like them!
Great stuff, Milan and also much congratz on getting MVP :) As for the video, I, personally, prefer using Clean + Vertical at the same time for non-crud apps, separating slices (folders basically) between projects. I.e "Products" folder in all projects. With enough dedication and discipline you can get best of both worlds. Great example anyway and love your approach with IEndpoint reflection stuff :)

Hi Milan, thanks for the great video! I have a question though. Is there a purpose for putting the different components inside a static class (effectively the REPR pattern), as opposed to putting it in a namespace? And then reference it in the same way if you like, i.e. CreateProduct.Request, etc.. ?
@MilanJovanovicTech
20 күн бұрын
Less verbose: - CreateProduct.Request/CreateProduct.Response - As opposed to CreateProductRequest/CreateProductResponse I can use simpler names within the vertical slice, where these types matter
@ajdinhusic2574

@@MilanJovanovicTech I was thinking slightly different, calling the types still the same names, but in a folder, so: CreateProduct/ - Request.cs - Response.cs etc.

Hey Milan, Thank you for sharing this resource to us. However, a have a doubt: I have an entity named "Item" in selling and stock context, and if I understood well this entity can does move with cross-cutting. In this case, will are through of domain events? For example, I sold a guitar and I need to update my stock, can I create a domain event to update it?

I'm really interested in how to structure entities and their configurations in vertical slice. Should I place these two in same folder as my request command handler and response classes? Or maybe place them in different folders?
@MilanJovanovicTech

Place them next to the DbContext? VSA is more about organizing around business capabilities. EF Core configurations are a minor concern.
Could you make a video about the best practices with multithreading, async, etc?

I do have a hard time understanding what 'use case' implies here! Is 'use case' in the sense of requirements, as it exists in RUP? If yes, that would end up being a class diagram. However, it seems the meaning of 'use case' is different in the context of CA

A use case represents a unique piece of functionality in the system. Copy-paste from Uncle Bob's article: --- Use Cases The software in this layer contains application specific business rules. It encapsulates and implements all of the use cases of the system. These use cases orchestrate the flow of data to and from the entities, and direct those entities to use their enterprise wide business rules to achieve the goals of the use case. We do not expect changes in this layer to affect the entities. We also do not expect this layer to be affected by changes to externalities such as the database, the UI, or any of the common frameworks. This layer is isolated from such concerns. We do, however, expect that changes to the operation of the application will affect the use-cases and therefore the software in this layer. If the details of a use-case change, then some code in this layer will certainly be affected. ---
Interesting approach - but is this really feasible when things get more complicated? Would you organize a more complex project this way? I organize my vertical slices in a hierarchical folder structure - this scaled well for me so far.

Projects don't start out complicated (most of the time). They become complicated. So this is a great way to start any project, and restructure as your project grows.

@@MilanJovanovicTech OK, thanks for your response. I'd still recommend to start right with folders as no subsequent switch is required as the project grows.
Thank you for your videos. I like the vertical slice architecture. What do you think about organising vertical slice architecture with multiple "mains" like a WebAPI project and a console project. The core should be the same on both. How do you structure such a project? My answer is to make the core vertical slice architecture and the multiple main project are implementend like the hexagonal architecture which access the public interface of the core.

Great Video like always :D You mentioned to map the validation result to a ProblemDetails and currently I am trying to that with the Results pattern. So map the Errors in a Result to a ProblemDetails, but I am failing misserably. Could you make a video on that, where you show, how to map the Errors of a Result to ProblemDetails within minimal API. I know it's fairly easy to that with MVC controllers, but MinimalAPI gives me a headache. My use case is that I am validating business logic and want to return custom errors. So for example CreateProducts validates if the product already exists and if it exists return Result.Fail("custom message with error details). And I want to map the Error to a problem details within minimalAPI. The controller would return something like this: return response.IsSucess ? Results.Ok() : Results.BadRequest(response.error)

Nice, but I didn't like the tip on refactoring out code duplication to a shared component. That's a premature abstraction and introduces unnecessary coupling between vertical slices. What I mean is that today's duplicate parts probably evolve in different directions in the future.
