php:make-contracts

You can generate PHP interfaces for Elegant Objects and DDD architectures by using a self-contained code generation utility. It creates standard contracts for DTOs, exceptions, entities, and migrations, providing a foundational codebase for new or refactored PHP projects.

For Domain-Driven Design, you need standard contract interfaces defining DTOs, exceptions, entities with URLs, and Doctrine migrations. Generating these interfaces establishes a robust foundation and ensures adherence to Elegant Objects principles from the outset.

No, you do not need external dependencies to generate Elegant Objects contracts in PHP. The generation utility is entirely self-contained, requiring no additional packages or setups to create the necessary interface definitions for your project.

The best way to kickstart a new PHP project adhering to Elegant Objects principles is to automate the creation of essential interfaces. Generating fundamental contract definitions for DTOs and entities ensures consistency and adherence to best practices from the start.

Yes, you can use generated PHP contracts to refactor an existing codebase to Domain-Driven Design. The generation utility applies foundational code generation to existing projects, helping them adopt Elegant Objects and DDD design patterns effectively.
