A-Frame-mazing Architecture
Part 1 of 7
A-Frame architecture helps separate infrastructure from logic through mediation of a controller. In doing so, it simplifies a lot of scenarios and transforms them into trivially testable code.
What is A-Frame architecture?
A-frame architecture is a pretty simple architectural pattern: it separates interacting with infrastructure from taking decisions using logic. Between the two is a controller who orchestrates the flow of data. Everything in your code should respect t...

Closing thoughts on A-Frame architecture
Phew, that was a lot. I'm always surprised how simple solutions contain so much detail and nuance when I try to explain them. I hope I conveyed the message that A-Frame simplifies code within a module or class by separating the infrastructure compone...

Testing A-Frame architecture
No architecture is complete without an easy way to test the functionality. My recommended strategy is to use two types of tests: unit and integration. As far as test setup goes, there is no clear winner for a test framework. xUnit.NET, NUnit and the ...

Tackling complex examples using A-Frame architecture and Wolverine
The examples in the previous posts seem really nice for simple scenarios. How do I approach more advanced use cases? The big scenarios are: I need multiple pieces of data from different sources I need to perform an infrastructure call in the middle...

Leverage Wolverine's A-Frame architecture support
I’ve shown how I write code using the A-Frame architecture without help. Yet I find a library or framework very convenient when using advanced techniques. Wolverine is at its core a messaging framework, but goes well beyond that. It has an in-memory ...

A simple A-Frame example
Now the expected structure is clear, let's take a look at the code. I will start with a minimal API implementation to demonstrate that there is no need for a framework to implement this architecture. I do know of a framework that makes A-Frame effort...
