Domain Driven Design (DDD) in Golang!?

In this video, I compiled a simple sample of an (opinionated) Domain Driven Design structure in Golang. The video goes through a simple domain package named `User` and explains how to use your domains to ensure your Go services speak the "application" language.

Further videos will deep dive into the hexagonal architecture pattern in Go, of which the Domain Driven Design (DDD) code will fit nicely.

By all means, I'd love to hear your feedback this DDD Pattern, and likewise please do share your own patterns in the comments below!

This is how Go should be written. Type definitions over primitives are what makes this language so powerful.

I really liked this video and its structure. I will watch other videos as well. Great intro to DDD in Go, which is what I needed.

Great video! I would also suggest making the fields of the User struct non-exported to prevent their modification outside the domain methods.

Nice video. It’s good to see a video on design patterns in go. Subbed and looking forward to the next.

nice intro to ddd would love to see how hexagonal arrch would fit in here

Will the compiler properly rejec any string despite you are just wrapping them on a type level?

[kiddienoob]

Very refreshing to see some real world application examples!

Great video - really informative and didn’t ramble on! ‼️🎉

Should domain service method params be passed as already validated domain objects or should they be provided as primitive types (like in this video)?

[Kaizala]

The main issue i have with implementing DDD in Go is the folder structure it's very confusing at times..

How do you align the values along the same column in the structs? Is this a feature of the gopls LSP? Or some other feature? Which command do you run for this? Thanks

[catsinthejungle]

Very informative, I think it would be very helpful if you provided a link to the code you've explained in the video. This might just be a me thing, but I can understand a lot better when I have a complete view of the codebase while following along. Obviously, I'll leave that decision to you and regardless of that, you've earned a new subscriber.

Why orm layer should be insude domain
Db orm is your independent layer

[davidalejandrocastiblancos]

but the fields should be private in the Domain layer

[Im_Ninooo]

why not just use a validation lib that validates the whole struct? this seems quite excessive.

Hi Sam do you have email or LinkedIn contact for advice on developing learning materials for newbies using Golang?
