Description

To improve documentation and provide better insights into the application's architecture, we need to create a simplified dependency diagram using Lucidchart. The diagram should visually represent the high-level dependencies between core components such as repositories, services, controllers, and external libraries (e.g., EF Core, AutoMapper, FluentValidation, and Serilog). Once the diagram is created, it will be added to the README for better accessibility by developers and contributors.

Suggested Approach

  1. Use Lucidchart to create a simplified dependency diagram that includes the following high-level dependencies:

    • Repositories > Services > Controllers > Program.cs
    • EF Core > Repositories
    • AutoMapper > Services
    • FluentValidation > Controllers
    • Serilog > Program.cs
  2. The diagram should be visually simple, showing how each component interacts, without going into excessive detail.

  3. Include the following folders and files in the diagram:

    • Repositories (e.g., PlayerRepository.cs, IPlayerRepository.cs, Repository.cs)
    • Services (e.g., PlayerService.cs, IPlayerService.cs)
    • Controllers (e.g., PlayerController.cs)
    • Program.cs
    • EF Core (PlayerDbContext.cs, migrations, and database)
    • AutoMapper (used in services)
    • FluentValidation (used in controllers)
    • Serilog (configured in Program.cs)
  4. Save the diagram as an image or PDF file.

  5. Add the diagram to the README.md file under a new section titled "Architecture" or "Dependency Diagram."

  6. Ensure that the diagram is clear, concise, and easily understandable by both new and experienced developers.

Acceptance Criteria

  • A dependency diagram is created using Lucidchart that accurately represents the core components and their relationships as described above.
  • The diagram is added to the README.md file in a new section dedicated to architecture, titled "Architecture" or "Dependency Diagram."
  • The README.md file is properly formatted, and the diagram is clearly visible and easy to understand.
