SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delphi projects often struggle with tangled code and weak boundaries; this skill promotes SOLID patterns to structure domain, infrastructure, and application layers with clear interfaces and injection points.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides interfaces for Repository, Service, Factory, and Strategy patterns aligned with constructor injection to enable testability and reuse.
  • Demonstrates implementing data access (Repository), business logic (Service), object creation (Factory), and behavior variation (Strategy) in Delphi.
  • Use Case: when designing a new domain entity, create corresponding repository and service layers following SOLID to ensure maintainability and testability.

Quick Start

Define a sample entity, repository interface, service, and factory, then instantiate them to demonstrate end-to-end SOLID usage in a Delphi project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement SOLID design patterns in Delphi to structure domain and infrastructure layers?

Implement SOLID design patterns in Delphi by defining clear interfaces for Repository, Service, Factory, and Strategy layers. This approach enforces constructor injection and clean architecture boundaries, resulting in scalable and maintainable domain and infrastructure separation.

How do I use dependency injection for repositories and services in Delphi projects?

Use dependency injection in Delphi by defining repository and service interfaces, then injecting implementations via constructors. This pattern decouples object creation from business logic, enabling testability and consistent architecture across application modules.

When do I need the Factory and Strategy patterns in Delphi architecture?

You need the Factory and Strategy patterns in Delphi when managing object creation and varying behavior dynamically. Defining these as interfaces with constructor injection ensures clean architecture rules and consistent behavior variation across modules.

Can I use clean architecture rules to improve testability in existing Delphi codebases?

Yes, you can apply clean architecture rules to Delphi by refactoring tangled code into Repository and Service interfaces with clear injection points. This promotes weak boundaries and enables consistent architecture, improving code reuse and testability.

What is the best way to structure data access and business logic layers in Delphi?

The best way to structure Delphi layers is using SOLID patterns: implement data access via Repository interfaces and business logic via Service interfaces. Using constructor injection for these components ensures maintainability and testable code boundaries.
