AdonisJS API Skeleton

Awesome AdonisJS boilerplate to create APIs using a DDD based architecture

If you never worked with AdonisJS before, please give a look in its docs first

How this architecture works

The major changes were made in the app folder, so the files in bootstrap, config and database works the same way as described in the AdonisJS docs, there were only few changes in these folders, so you don't need to worry too much about them.

This boilerplate uses a DDD based architecture, so the main folders you will be working with will be: Domains and Modules folders. Below I will talk a little about the folders inside app:

• Core: These are helper files that I created to make things simpler when working with this boilerplate, most likely that you don't need to change nothing here.

• Domains: Here you will create the domains of your application, each domain will have one or more: models, repositories, resources (like messages), validators. Here you will put only domains that can be used and shared by your Modules.

• Modules: Here you will create the modules of your application, think in each module as an micro service, they're independent and can use one or many Domains. Each module needs to define their own routes and will have one or more: controllers, resources (like messages), services.

• Providers: Here you will find three files...

  • channels.js: File used to define Websocket channels that your application can use
  • events.js: File used to define Events that your application will run
  • routes.js: File used to define the Routes of your application, you only need to create an array with the modules you want to be loaded in your application.

• Support: Here you can put helper files that can be used by any of your Modules and Domains.

Things that needs to be done

This boilerplate was made only for an example, so there are some things (important things) that still needs to be done like: tests, enhance the validation method, etc. Feel free to fork this repo and send some Pull Requests to help!!!
