# Lessons Learned: Phase 2 - Domain Layer Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Feature**: 001-modbus-relay-control
|
||||
**Phase**: Phase 2 - Domain Layer (Type-Driven Development)
|
||||
**Completed**: 2026-01-04
|
||||
**Tasks**: T017-T027
|
||||
**Duration**: ~1 day (as planned)
|
||||
|
||||
## What Went Well
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Test-Driven Development (TDD) Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**Practice**: Red-Green-Refactor cycle strictly followed
|
||||
|
||||
**Evidence**:
|
||||
- All 11 tasks (T017-T027) followed TDD workflow
|
||||
- Tests written first, implementation second
|
||||
- Commits explicitly labeled with TDD phase (red/green)
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Commit Sequence**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
5f954978d0ed - test(domain): write failing tests for RelayId (RED)
|
||||
c5c8ea316ab9 - feat(domain): implement RelayId newtype (GREEN)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**:
|
||||
- 100% test coverage achieved naturally
|
||||
- Design flaws caught early (during test writing)
|
||||
- Refactoring confidence (tests as safety net)
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: ✅ Continue strict TDD for all future phases
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Type-Driven Development (TyDD) Principles
|
||||
|
||||
**Practice**: "Make illegal states unrepresentable" enforced through types
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples**:
|
||||
- RelayId: Impossible to create invalid ID (1-8 enforced at construction)
|
||||
- RelayState: Only On/Off possible, no "unknown" state
|
||||
- RelayLabel: Length constraints enforced by smart constructor
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**:
|
||||
- Bugs caught at compile time vs. runtime
|
||||
- API becomes self-documenting (types show valid inputs)
|
||||
- Less defensive programming needed (trust the types)
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: ✅ Apply TyDD principles to all layers
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Zero External Dependencies in Domain
|
||||
|
||||
**Practice**: Domain layer remains pure with NO external crates (except std/serde)
|
||||
|
||||
**Evidence**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
backend/src/domain/
|
||||
├── relay/ # Zero dependencies
|
||||
├── modbus.rs # Only depends on relay types
|
||||
└── health.rs # Pure Rust, no external deps
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**:
|
||||
- Fast compilation (no dependency tree)
|
||||
- Easy to test (no mocking external libs)
|
||||
- Portable (can extract to separate crate easily)
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: ✅ Maintain this separation in future phases
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. `#[repr(transparent)]` for Zero-Cost Abstractions
|
||||
|
||||
**Practice**: All newtypes use `#[repr(transparent)]`
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
#[repr(transparent)]
|
||||
pub struct RelayId(u8);
|
||||
|
||||
#[repr(transparent)]
|
||||
pub struct ModbusAddress(u16);
|
||||
|
||||
#[repr(transparent)]
|
||||
pub struct RelayLabel(String);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**:
|
||||
- Same memory layout as inner type
|
||||
- No runtime overhead
|
||||
- Compiler optimizations preserved
|
||||
|
||||
**Verification**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
assert_eq!(
|
||||
std::mem::size_of::<RelayId>(),
|
||||
std::mem::size_of::<u8>()
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: ✅ Use `#[repr(transparent)]` for all single-field newtypes
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Documentation as First-Class Requirement
|
||||
|
||||
**Practice**: `#[warn(missing_docs)]` + comprehensive doc comments
|
||||
|
||||
**Evidence**:
|
||||
- Every public item has `///` doc comments
|
||||
- Examples in doc comments are tested (doctests)
|
||||
- Module-level documentation explains purpose
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**:
|
||||
- cargo doc generates excellent API documentation
|
||||
- New contributors understand intent quickly
|
||||
- Doctests catch API drift
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: ✅ Maintain strict documentation standards
|
||||
|
||||
## Challenges Encountered
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Module Organization Iteration
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenge**: Finding the right file structure took iteration
|
||||
|
||||
**Initial Structure** (too flat):
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/domain/
|
||||
├── relay.rs # Everything in one file (500+ lines)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Final Structure** (well organized):
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/domain/relay/
|
||||
├── types/
|
||||
│ ├── relayid.rs # ~100 lines
|
||||
│ ├── relaystate.rs # ~80 lines
|
||||
│ └── relaylabel.rs # ~120 lines
|
||||
├── entity.rs # ~150 lines
|
||||
├── controler.rs # ~50 lines
|
||||
└── repository.rs # ~40 lines
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson Learned**:
|
||||
- Start with logical separation from day 1
|
||||
- One file per type/concept (easier navigation)
|
||||
- Keep files under 200 lines where possible
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: 📝 Create detailed file structure in plan.md BEFORE coding
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Spelling Inconsistency (controler vs controller)
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenge**: Typo in filename `controler.rs` (should be `controller.rs`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact**:
|
||||
- Inconsistent with trait name `RelayController`
|
||||
- Confusing for contributors
|
||||
- Hard to fix later (breaks imports)
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**:
|
||||
- Rushed file creation
|
||||
- No spell check on filenames
|
||||
- No review of module structure
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**:
|
||||
- ⚠️ **TODO**: Rename `controler.rs` → `controller.rs` in Phase 3
|
||||
- 📝 Use spell check during code review
|
||||
- 📝 Establish naming conventions in CLAUDE.md
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Label vs Optional Label Decision
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenge**: Should Relay.label be `Option<RelayLabel>` or `RelayLabel`?
|
||||
|
||||
**Initial Design** (plan.md):
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
Relay {
|
||||
id: RelayId,
|
||||
state: RelayState,
|
||||
label: Option<RelayLabel>, // Planned
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Final Implementation**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
Relay {
|
||||
id: RelayId,
|
||||
state: RelayState,
|
||||
label: RelayLabel, // Always present with default
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- `RelayLabel::default()` provides "Unlabeled" fallback
|
||||
- Simpler API (no unwrapping needed)
|
||||
- UI always has something to display
|
||||
|
||||
**Lesson Learned**:
|
||||
- Design decisions can evolve during implementation
|
||||
- Default implementations reduce need for `Option<T>`
|
||||
- Consider UX implications of types (UI needs labels)
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: ✅ Use defaults over `Option<T>` where sensible
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices Validated
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Smart Constructors with `Result<T, E>`
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
impl RelayId {
|
||||
pub fn new(value: u8) -> Result<Self, RelayIdError> {
|
||||
if value < 1 || value > 8 {
|
||||
return Err(RelayIdError::OutOfRange(value));
|
||||
}
|
||||
Ok(Self(value))
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why It Works**:
|
||||
- Composable (? operator, map/and_then)
|
||||
- Testable (can assert on Error variants)
|
||||
- Better UX than panics (graceful error handling)
|
||||
|
||||
**Validated**: ✅ All 50+ tests use this pattern successfully
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Derive vs Manual Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision Matrix**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Trait | Derive? | Rationale |
|
||||
|-------|---------|-----------|
|
||||
| Debug | ✅ Yes | Standard debug output sufficient |
|
||||
| Clone | ✅ Yes | Simple copy/clone behavior |
|
||||
| PartialEq | ✅ Yes | Field-by-field equality |
|
||||
| Copy | ✅ Yes* | Only for small types (RelayId, RelayState) |
|
||||
| Display | ❌ No | Need custom formatting |
|
||||
| Default | ❌ No | Need domain-specific defaults |
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: RelayLabel doesn't derive Copy (String not Copy)
|
||||
|
||||
**Validated**: ✅ Derives worked perfectly, manual impls only where needed
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Const Functions Where Possible
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
impl RelayId {
|
||||
pub const fn as_u8(self) -> u8 { // const!
|
||||
self.0
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
impl ModbusAddress {
|
||||
pub const fn as_u16(self) -> u16 { // const!
|
||||
self.0
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefit**:
|
||||
- Can be used in const contexts
|
||||
- Compiler can inline/optimize better
|
||||
- Signals immutability to readers
|
||||
|
||||
**Validated**: ✅ Const functions compile and optimize well
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- **Test Execution**: <1s (all 50+ tests)
|
||||
|
||||
## Anti-Patterns Avoided
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Primitive Obsession
|
||||
**Avoided By**: Using newtypes (RelayId, RelayLabel, ModbusAddress)
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative (bad)**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
fn control_relay(id: u8, state: String) { ... } // Primitive types!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Our Approach (good)**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
fn control_relay(id: RelayId, state: RelayState) { ... } // Domain types!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Boolean Blindness
|
||||
**Avoided By**: Using RelayState enum instead of `bool`
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative (bad)**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
struct Relay {
|
||||
is_on: bool, // What does true mean? On or off?
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Our Approach (good)**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
struct Relay {
|
||||
state: RelayState, // Explicit: On or Off
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Stringly-Typed Code
|
||||
**Avoided By**: Using typed errors, not string messages
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternative (bad)**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
fn new(value: u8) -> Result<Self, String> { // String error!
|
||||
Err("Invalid relay ID".to_string())
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Our Approach (good)**:
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
fn new(value: u8) -> Result<Self, RelayIdError> { // Typed error!
|
||||
Err(RelayIdError::OutOfRange(value))
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendations for Future Phases
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: Infrastructure Layer
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Maintain Trait Purity**
|
||||
- Keep trait definitions in domain layer
|
||||
- Only implementations in infrastructure
|
||||
- No leaking of infrastructure types into domain
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Test Mocks with Real Behavior**
|
||||
- MockRelayController should behave like real device
|
||||
- Use `Arc<Mutex<>>` for shared state (matches real async)
|
||||
- Support timeout simulation for testing
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Error Mapping**
|
||||
- Infrastructure errors (tokio_modbus, sqlx) → Domain errors
|
||||
- Use `From` trait for conversions
|
||||
- Preserve error context in conversion
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Application Layer
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use Case Naming**
|
||||
- Name: `{Verb}{Noun}UseCase` (e.g., ToggleRelayUseCase)
|
||||
- One use case = one public method (`execute`)
|
||||
- Keep orchestration simple (call controller, call repository)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Logging at Boundaries**
|
||||
- Log use case entry/exit with tracing
|
||||
- Include relevant IDs (RelayId) in log context
|
||||
- No logging inside domain layer (pure logic)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Error Context**
|
||||
- Add context to errors as they bubble up
|
||||
- Use anyhow for application layer errors
|
||||
- Map domain errors to application errors
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Presentation Layer
|
||||
|
||||
1. **DTO Mapping**
|
||||
- Create DTOs separate from domain types
|
||||
- Map at API boundary (controller layer)
|
||||
- Use From/TryFrom traits for conversions
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Validation Strategy**
|
||||
- Validate at API boundary (parse user input)
|
||||
- Convert to domain types early
|
||||
- Trust domain types internally
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Error Responses**
|
||||
- Map domain/application errors to HTTP codes
|
||||
- 400: ValidationError (RelayIdError)
|
||||
- 500: InternalError (ControllerError)
|
||||
- 504: Timeout (ControllerError::Timeout)
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 2 Status**: ✅ **Complete and Successful**
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Achievements**:
|
||||
- 100% test coverage with TDD
|
||||
- Zero external dependencies in domain
|
||||
- Type-safe API with compile-time guarantees
|
||||
- Comprehensive documentation
|
||||
- Zero clippy warnings
|
||||
|
||||
**Confidence for Next Phase**: **High** 🚀
|
||||
|
||||
The domain layer provides a solid foundation with:
|
||||
- Clear types and boundaries
|
||||
- Comprehensive tests as safety net
|
||||
- Patterns validated through implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Next Steps**:
|
||||
1. Fix `controler.rs` → `controller.rs` typo (high priority)
|
||||
2. Begin Phase 3: Infrastructure Layer (MockRelayController)
|
||||
3. Maintain same quality standards (TDD, TyDD, documentation)
|
||||
|
||||
**Overall Assessment**: The type-driven approach and strict TDD discipline paid off. The domain layer is robust, well-tested, and provides clear contracts for the infrastructure layer to implement.
