Starter Template for building modular monolithic SaaS applications with ASP.NET Core and Blazor.
Overview
The Build and Test Modular Monolith SaaS Template offers a robust foundation for building modular monolithic Software-as-a-Service applications using ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and EF Core with SQL Server. This template ingeniously organizes the architecture into individual modules, each representing a subdomain, facilitating a clear separation of concerns and promoting maintainability. With the modular approach, developers can create rich applications while avoiding the pitfalls of tightly coupled components.
By defining each subdomain as a module, this template aligns with Domain-Driven Design principles, paving the way for scalable and organized software development. It encapsulates not just the functionality but also the design principles needed to manage complexity, making it an ideal choice for developers looking to implement a clean and efficient architecture.
Features
- Modular Architecture: Each subdomain is neatly organized into its own module, enabling clearer separation and easier management of application logic.
- Bounded Context Definition: Modules can be defined as a “Bounded Context,” allowing for clearer domain definitions based on Eric Evans’ Domain-Driven Design.
- Shared Kernel: A dedicated project that contains essential elements like extension methods and interfaces, fostering reuse across modules.
- Client and Server Integration: Modules consist of both client and server projects that cooperate seamlessly, ensuring efficient communication and functionality.
- Razor Components: Utilizes Razor Class Libraries for building reusable components, promoting a more intuitive frontend development experience.
- Flexible Client Logic: The client projects can draw from shared libraries, enabling easy access to APIs across different modules without unnecessary coupling.
- Comprehensive Infrastructure: It includes infrastructure components like EF Core that support the operational needs of your application.
- Landing Page Module: A specialized module for serving Razor components specifically for landing pages, simplifying content management for initial user engagement.
