This book guides you in mapping concepts from domain-driven design (DDD) into clean, testable code that integrates effectively with the Laravel framework. It demonstrates how to apply DDD principles in creating a complete web application, using real-world examples. You will start with foundational concepts, exploring entities, value objects, ubiquitous language, DTOs, and knowledge discovery through manageable examples and illustrations. As you progress, you'll tackle advanced DDD topics, using them to customize the default Laravel installation, which is crucial for understanding the synergy between DDD and Laravel. The book also delves into the Eloquent ORM included with Laravel, explaining its role in representing entities, managing repositories, and supporting domain events. While it includes a basic overview and setup tutorial for Laravel, it is primarily aimed at readers already familiar with the framework. Ideal for frontend/backend developers, devops engineers, and PHP developers interested in DDD or Laravel, this book offers valuable insights for those with a basic understanding of PHP who wish to deepen their knowledge.
