create-entity

Scaffold a domain entity in NestJS following DDD patterns by using a private constructor, a static create() factory method, and UniqueEntityID-based identity to enforce invariants and maintain a framework-free domain layer.

In domain-driven design, an aggregate root extends AggregateRoot<Props> to manage invariants across multiple objects, while a regular entity extends Entity<Props> to manage its own independent lifecycle within a module.

Validate invariants when modeling a domain entity by applying a Guard pattern inside the static create() method, returning a Result<EntityName> object that encapsulates the success or failure of business rule validation.

Yes, you can keep your domain layer framework-free when using NestJS for domain modeling by encapsulating business logic in pure TypeScript entities with private constructors, ensuring clean architecture independence and testability.

Manage identity and lifecycle in a DDD aggregate root by assigning a UniqueEntityID upon creation and controlling state changes exclusively through domain logic methods, ensuring all invariants are maintained across transitions.

Use a static create() method instead of a constructor for a domain entity when you need to run Guard-based validation and return a Result object, preventing the instantiation of an entity in an invalid state.
