        return _repoFactory.GetRepo()
            .FindAll<Order>()
            .Where(o => o.CreatedDate >= DateTime.Now.AddDays(-30))
            .Join(_repoFactory.GetRepo().FindAll<Customer>(),
                  o => o.CustomerId,
                  c => c.Id,
                  (order, customer) => new { Order = order, Customer = customer })
            .Select(result => new GetOrdersDto
            {
                Id = result.Order.Id,
                CustomerName = result.Customer.Name,
                TotalAmount = result.Order.TotalAmount,
                // Custom projection logic
                StatusDisplay = GetStatusDisplay(result.Order.Status),
                DaysSinceCreated = (DateTime.UtcNow - result.Order.CreatedDate).Days
            })
            .ToList();
    }
}

{
    public virtual async Task Execute(AddOrderCommand cmd, IFlexServiceBusContext serviceBusContext)
    {
        _model = _flexHost.GetDomainModel<Order>().AddOrder(cmd);
        _repoFactory.GetRepo().InsertOrUpdate(_model);

📋 DTO Pattern & Clean Separation Architecture

DTO Structure and Clean Separation

The YourApplication solution implements a sophisticated DTO (Data Transfer Object) pattern that provides clean separation between different architectural layers, ensuring loose coupling and maintainability.

DTO Hierarchy and Organization:

// Input DTOs - API Layer to Application Layer
YourApplication.Application/ControlContracts/YourApplication.DTOs/
├── FeatureDtos/
│   ├── Orders/
│   │   ├── Input/
│   │   │   ├── AddOrder/AddOrderDto.cs
│   │   │   └── AddItemToOrder/AddItemToOrderDto.cs
│   │   └── Output/
│   ├── Products/
│   │   ├── Input/
│   │   │   ├── AddProduct/AddProductDto.cs
│   │   │   └── UpdateProduct/UpdateProductDto.cs
│   │   └── Output/
│   └── Payments/
│       ├── Input/
│       │   └── MakePayment/MakePaymentDto.cs
│       └── Output/
└── DomainDtos/
    ├── Order/OrderDto.cs
    ├── Product/ProductDto.cs
    ├── Payment/PaymentDto.cs
    └── OrderItem/OrderItemDto.cs

DTO Pattern Implementation:

// Input DTO - Clean API Contract
public partial class AddOrderDto : DtoBridge 
{
    // Auto-generated properties for API input
    // Validation attributes
    // Type safety
}

// Domain DTO - Business Entity Representation  
public partial class OrderDto : DtoBridge 
{
    // Domain model representation
    // Business logic encapsulation
    // Database-agnostic structure
}

// Output DTO - Query Results
public partial class GetCustomersDto : DtoBridge 
{
    // Optimized for read operations
    // Projection-specific properties
    // Performance-optimized structure
}

Clean Separation Benefits:

API Layer Isolation:
- Input DTOs shield domain models from API changes
- Versioning support through DTO evolution
- API-specific validation and formatting
Domain Layer Protection:
- Domain DTOs represent pure business concepts
- No API or database concerns in domain
- Business rules encapsulation
Database Layer Abstraction:
- Domain DTOs are database-agnostic
- ORM mapping handled separately
- Database schema changes don't affect domain

Handler-to-Domain Method Architecture

The solution follows a sophisticated architectural pattern where handlers orchestrate domain method calls, implementing several key enterprise patterns:

Command Handler Pattern:

public partial class AddOrderHandler : IAddOrderHandler
{
    // Dependency Injection - Clean Architecture
    protected readonly ILogger<AddOrderHandler> _logger;
    protected readonly IFlexHost _flexHost;           // Domain access
    protected readonly RepoFactory _repoFactory;      // Data access
    
    // Domain model instance
    protected Order? _model;
    protected FlexAppContextBridge? _flexAppContext;  // Context

    public virtual async Task Execute(AddOrderCommand cmd, IFlexServiceBusContext serviceBusContext)
    {
        // 1. Context Extraction
        _flexAppContext = cmd.Dto.GetAppContext();
        
        // 2. Repository Initialization
        _repoFactory.Init(cmd.Dto);
        
        // 3. Domain Method Invocation - CORE ARCHITECTURAL PATTERN
        _model = _flexHost.GetDomainModel<Order>().AddOrder(cmd);
        
        // 4. Persistence Layer
        _repoFactory.GetRepo().InsertOrUpdate(_model);
        int records = await _repoFactory.GetRepo().SaveAsync();
        
        // 5. Event Publishing
        await this.Fire(EventCondition, serviceBusContext);
    }
}

Domain Method Implementation:

// Domain Model with Business Logic
public partial class Order : DomainModelBridge
{
    public virtual Order AddOrder(AddOrderCommand cmd)
    {
        // 1. Input Validation
        Guard.AgainstNull("Order command cannot be empty", cmd);
        
        // 2. DTO to Domain Mapping
        this.Convert(cmd.Dto);
        
        // 3. Business Logic Application
        this.CreatedBy = cmd.Dto.GetAppContext()?.UserId;
        this.LastModifiedBy = cmd.Dto.GetAppContext()?.UserId;
        
        // 4. Domain State Management
        this.SetAdded(cmd.Dto.GetGeneratedId());
        
        // 5. Business Rules Enforcement
        // Custom business logic can be added here
        
        return this;
    }
}

Architectural Patterns Demonstrated:

Command Pattern:
- AddOrderCommand encapsulates request
- Handler executes command
- Domain model processes business logic
Repository Pattern:
- RepoFactory abstracts data access
- Generic repository interface
- Database-agnostic operations
Domain-Driven Design:
- Rich domain models with behavior
- Business logic in domain layer
- Ubiquitous language implementation
CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation):
- Commands for write operations
- Queries for read operations
- Separate optimization paths
Event-Driven Architecture:
- Domain events for side effects
- Loose coupling between modules
- Asynchronous processing

AutoMapper Integration for DTO-Domain Mapping:

// AutoMapper Configuration
public class CoreMapperConfiguration : FlexMapperProfile
{
    public CoreMapperConfiguration() : base()
    {
        #region Input Mapping
        // DTO to Domain Model mapping
        CreateMap<AddOrderDto, Order>();
        CreateMap<AddProductDto, Product>();
        CreateMap<MakePaymentDto, Payment>();
        #endregion

        #region Output Mapping  
        // Domain Model to DTO mapping
        CreateMap<Order, OrderDto>();
        CreateMap<Product, ProductDto>();
        CreateMap<Payment, PaymentDto>();
        #endregion
    }
}

Mapping Benefits:

Type Safety: Compile-time mapping validation
Performance: Optimized object transformation
Maintainability: Centralized mapping configuration
Flexibility: Custom mapping rules support

Update Operations Pattern:

// Update Handler - Different Pattern for Existing Entities
public virtual async Task Execute(UpdateProductCommand cmd, IFlexServiceBusContext serviceBusContext)
{
    _flexAppContext = cmd.Dto.GetAppContext();
    _repoFactory.Init(cmd.Dto);
    
    // 1. Entity Retrieval
    _model = _repoFactory.GetRepo().FindAll<Product>()
        .Where(m => m.Id == cmd.Dto.Id)
        .FirstOrDefault();
    
    if (_model != null)
    {
        // 2. Domain Method Invocation
        _model.UpdateProduct(cmd);
        
        // 3. Persistence
        _repoFactory.GetRepo().InsertOrUpdate(_model);
        int records = await _repoFactory.GetRepo().SaveAsync();
        
        // 4. Event Publishing
        await this.Fire(EventCondition, serviceBusContext);
    }
}

Data Flow Architecture:

graph TB
    subgraph "API Layer"
        Controller[OrdersController]
        InputDTO[AddOrderDto]
        OutputDTO[OrderDto]
    end
    
    subgraph "Application Layer"

    subgraph "Infrastructure Layer"
        Repository[Repository Factory]
        Database[(Database)]
        MessageBus[Event Bus]
    end

    DomainModel --> BusinessLogic
    BusinessLogic --> DomainDTO
    Handler --> Repository
    Repository --> Database
    Handler --> MessageBus
    DomainDTO --> OutputDTO

🗄️ Domain Model-Driven Database Migrations

Revolutionary Migration Strategy

The YourApplication solution implements a groundbreaking approach where domain models automatically generate database schemas and migrations, eliminating the traditional manual database design process and dramatically improving developer and DevOps efficiency.

Migration Architecture Overview:

// Domain Model Definition
public partial class Order : DomainModelBridge
{
    // Domain properties automatically become database columns
    // Business logic drives schema design
    // Framework handles all database mapping
}

// Automatic Migration Generation
public class ApplicationEFDbContext : FlexEFDbContext
{
    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
        // Framework automatically configures all domain models
        // No manual DbSet definitions required
        // Automatic relationship mapping
    }
}

Multi-Database Migration Support:

// SQL Server Migration Context
public class ApplicationEFDbMigrationContext : ApplicationEFDbContext
{
    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        var connectionString = _configuration.GetSection("FlexBase")["AppDbConnection"];
        optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(connectionString);
    }
}

// MySQL Migration Context  
public class ApplicationEFDbMigrationContext : ApplicationEFDbContext
{
    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        var connectionString = _configuration.GetSection("FlexBase")["AppDbConnection"];
        optionsBuilder.UseMySql(connectionString, ServerVersion.AutoDetect(connectionString));
    }
}

// PostgreSQL Migration Context
public class ApplicationEFDbMigrationContext : ApplicationEFDbContext
{
    protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
    {
        var connectionString = _configuration.GetSection("FlexBase")["AppDbConnection"];
        optionsBuilder.UseNpgsql(connectionString);
    }
}

Developer Efficiency Benefits

1. Zero Manual Database Design:

// Traditional Approach (Manual):
// 1. Design database schema in SQL Management Studio
// 2. Create tables manually
// 3. Define relationships
// 4. Create indexes
// 5. Write migration scripts
// 6. Test migrations
// 7. Deploy to different environments
// Time: 2-4 hours per module

// YourApplication Approach (Automatic):
// 1. Define domain model
// 2. Run migration command
// 3. Framework generates everything
// Time: 5 minutes per module

2. Automatic Schema Generation:

Tables: Created from domain models automatically
Columns: Generated from domain properties
Relationships: Inferred from domain associations
Indexes: Auto-generated for performance
Constraints: Applied based on domain rules
Audit Fields: Automatically added (CreatedBy, LastModifiedBy, etc.)
