Mewayz Frontend - Enterprise Architecture

Overview

This document outlines the enterprise-level architecture for the Mewayz frontend application, following Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles and Clean Architecture patterns.

Architecture Principles

1. Domain-Driven Design (DDD)

  • Bounded Contexts: Each domain represents a business capability
  • Ubiquitous Language: Consistent terminology across domains
  • Domain Models: Rich business logic encapsulated in domain entities

2. Clean Architecture

  • Dependency Inversion: High-level modules don't depend on low-level modules
  • Separation of Concerns: Clear boundaries between layers
  • Testability: Easy to test business logic in isolation

3. Single Responsibility Principle

  • Each module has one reason to change
  • Clear separation of business logic from infrastructure concerns

Domain Structure

Each domain follows this structure:

domain/
├── components/       # UI components specific to this domain
├── services/         # Business logic and API calls
├── types/           # TypeScript definitions
├── hooks/           # Custom React hooks
├── contexts/        # React contexts for state management
└── index.ts         # Domain exports

Layer Responsibilities

1. Domain Layer

  • Business Logic: Core business rules and domain logic
  • Entities: Domain objects with business behavior
  • Value Objects: Immutable objects representing concepts
  • Domain Services: Business logic that doesn't belong to entities

2. Application Layer

  • Use Cases: Application-specific business rules
  • DTOs: Data transfer objects for API communication
  • Application Services: Orchestration of domain objects

3. Infrastructure Layer

  • API Clients: HTTP communication with backend
  • Storage: Local storage, session storage, cookies
  • Configuration: Environment variables, app settings
  • External Services: Third-party integrations

4. Presentation Layer

  • Components: React components
  • Hooks: Custom React hooks
  • Contexts: React context providers
  • Pages: Page-level components

Component Architecture

Shared Components

  • Atomic Design: Atoms → Molecules → Organisms → Templates → Pages
  • Composition: Components composed of smaller components
  • Props Interface: Clear, typed props for all components
  • Styling: Consistent with design system

Domain Components

  • Domain-Specific: Components that belong to a specific business domain
  • Business Logic: Encapsulate domain-specific behavior
  • Reusability: Can be reused within the domain

State Management

Global State

  • App Context: Application-wide state (user, theme, notifications)
  • Auth Context: Authentication state and user session
  • Domain Contexts: Domain-specific state management

Local State

  • Component State: Local component state using useState
  • Form State: Form state management with controlled components
  • UI State: UI-specific state (modals, dropdowns, etc.)

API Architecture

Service Layer

  • Domain Services: Business logic and API calls
  • HTTP Client: Centralized HTTP client with interceptors
  • Error Handling: Consistent error handling across the app
  • Caching: Intelligent caching strategies

Data Flow

  1. Component → Hook → Service → API Client → Backend
  2. Backend → API Client → Service → Hook → Component

Security

Authentication

  • JWT Tokens: Secure token-based authentication
  • Token Refresh: Automatic token refresh mechanism
  • Route Protection: Protected routes with authentication guards

Authorization

  • Role-Based Access: Role-based component rendering
  • Permission Checks: Fine-grained permission checking
  • Route Guards: Route-level authorization

Performance

Code Splitting

  • Route-Based: Code splitting by routes
  • Component-Based: Lazy loading of heavy components
  • Bundle Analysis: Regular bundle size monitoring

Caching

  • API Caching: Intelligent API response caching
  • Component Caching: React.memo for expensive components
  • Asset Caching: Static asset caching strategies
