davists/Lumen-Doctrine-DDD-Example

This system is a PHP-based backend service built on the Lumen framework, designed to manage product and category data through a relational database. It provides a RESTful API secured with JWT authentication and CORS headers, while utilizing Doctrine ORM for data persistence. The architecture supports comprehensive testing across unit, functional, and acceptance levels to ensure business logic and endpoint reliability.

The Lumen 5.3 application structure has been established, including the entry point, bootstrap, and configuration files for database, Doctrine ORM, and filesystems. The update introduces a custom exception handler that formats error responses as JSON, implements CORS and JWT authentication middleware, and registers service providers for domain services and repositories. Additionally, environment variables for database, JWT, and S3 storage are configured.

The application now includes the initial database migrations to create the 'product', 'category', and 'product\_category' (many-to-many) tables, along with a 'cache' table for session/storage management. Additionally, database seeders have been added to populate the 'DataTestSeeder' and 'DatabaseSeeder', enabling the database to be initialized with test data.

Added .gitkeep files to the Acceptance, Contract, Functional, and Unit test directories to preserve the directory structure in version control. Additionally, a wiki file was added to the tests directory, providing documentation on the purpose of each test type: Unit for small code units, Contract for endpoint activity, Functional for business rules, and Acceptance for end-to-end business flows.

tests · high confidence

The project is initialized with a composer.json file that defines the application's PHP and third-party dependencies. This includes the Lumen framework, Doctrine ORM, and various libraries for authentication, serialization, and file storage, establishing the technical foundation for the service.
