Restructure Solution and Implemented Clean Architecture

[iamcymentho]

Summary:

This pull request represents a major restructuring of the entire solution to adhere to Clean Architecture principles, creating a more organized and maintainable codebase. The changes are extensive and comprehensive, and the solution is now structured into API, Data, Domain, and Service layers.

Description:

In this pull request, I've made the following significant changes:

1. Solution Structure:

• Separated the solution into clear layers, following the Clean Architecture design principles.
• Created distinct projects for theAPI, Data, Domain, and Servicelayers.
• Isolated dependencies and responsibilities within their respective layers.
• This restructure is based on best practices and helps in maintaining a highly modular and scalable codebase.

2. Dependency Management:

• Resolved complex dependencies and streamlined the overall architecture.
• Reduced interdependencies between components.
• Implemented Dependency Injection to facilitate better testing and separation of concerns.

3. Clean Architecture Principles:

• Embraced the principles of Clean Architecture to ensure a clear separation of concerns, testability, and maintainability.
• Adhered to SOLID principles to make the codebase robust and extensible.

4. Future-Proofing:

• Structured the solution in a way that makes it more adaptable to future enhancements or changes.
• Simplified future maintenance and code updates.

Value and Benefits:
The restructuring of the solution offers several key benefits:

• Improved maintainability and readability, making it easier for developers to work with the codebase.
• Enhanced testability, ensuring that the application functions as expected and reducing the risk of regressions.
• Scalability, enabling the solution to evolve and grow without extensive refactoring.
• Better organization of code and separation of concerns, leading to higher quality software.
• Alignment with industry-standard Clean Architecture principles.

Testing:
The changes have been tested extensively to ensure the solution behaves as expected. A suite of unit tests has been included to validate the functionality of the different layers.

Additional Information:
As per the feedback received earlier, the changes have been combined into one substantial pull request to allow for easier testing and deployment.

Please review and merge this pull request. The new structure sets the stage for future improvements and paves the way for a cleaner and more maintainable codebase. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Hello @FabianGosebrink ,

I trust you're doing well. I understand that you might be quite busy, and I appreciate the time you dedicate to this project. I submitted pull request approximately three weeks ago, and it's currently awaiting review.

Given my keen interest in the project and the substantial changes proposed in this PR—particularly in establishing a robust architectural foundation—I'm eager to keep the momentum going. This foundational work is crucial for subsequent optimizations and improvements to the codebase.

Your timely review would be immensely valuable, and I'm excited about the potential impact of these changes on the overall project. Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,
