FastAPI + Python DDD & Onion Architecture Design Guide

Guides FastAPI backend design using DDD principles and Onion Architecture, based on the dddpy reference implementation (FastAPI + SQLAlchemy + Python 3.13+).

Architecture Overview

Four concentric layers with dependencies pointing inward:

Presentation  →  UseCase  →  Infrastructure  →  Domain (innermost)

Key rule: Inner layers never depend on outer layers. The Domain layer has zero external dependencies.

For detailed architecture guide: See ARCHITECTURE.md

Quick Reference

1. Entity

Entities have unique identifiers, mutable state, and encapsulated business logic. Equality is based on identity, not attribute values.

class Todo:
    def __init__(self, id: TodoId, title: TodoTitle, status: TodoStatus = TodoStatus.NOT_STARTED):
        self._id = id
        self._title = title
        self._status = status

    def __eq__(self, obj: object) -> bool:
        if isinstance(obj, Todo):
            return self.id == obj.id
        return False

    def start(self) -> None:
        self._status = TodoStatus.IN_PROGRESS

    @staticmethod
    def create(title: TodoTitle) -> "Todo":
        return Todo(TodoId.generate(), title)

Detailed guide: See ENTITIES.md

2. Value Object

Immutable objects defined by their values, not identity. Use @dataclass(frozen=True) with validation in __post_init__.

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class TodoTitle:
    value: str

    def __post_init__(self):
        if not self.value:
            raise ValueError("Title is required")
        if len(self.value) > 100:
            raise ValueError("Title must be 100 characters or less")

Detailed guide: See VALUE_OBJECTS.md

3. Repository Interface

Define abstract interfaces in the Domain layer. Infrastructure implements them.

class TodoRepository(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def save(self, todo: Todo) -> None: ...

    @abstractmethod
    def find_by_id(self, todo_id: TodoId) -> Optional[Todo]: ...

    @abstractmethod
    def find_all(self) -> List[Todo]: ...

    @abstractmethod
    def delete(self, todo_id: TodoId) -> None: ...

Detailed guide: See REPOSITORIES.md

4. UseCase

One class per use case. Abstract interface + concrete implementation + factory function.

class CreateTodoUseCase(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def execute(self, title: TodoTitle) -> Todo: ...

class CreateTodoUseCaseImpl(CreateTodoUseCase):
    def __init__(self, todo_repository: TodoRepository):
        self.todo_repository = todo_repository

    def execute(self, title: TodoTitle) -> Todo:
        todo = Todo.create(title=title)
        self.todo_repository.save(todo)
        return todo

def new_create_todo_usecase(repo: TodoRepository) -> CreateTodoUseCase:
    return CreateTodoUseCaseImpl(repo)

Detailed guide: See USECASES.md

Best Practices

1. Keep Domain Layer Pure: No framework imports (no FastAPI, no SQLAlchemy) in domain code
2. Use DTOs at Layer Boundaries: Convert between domain entities and infrastructure models via to_entity() / from_entity() methods
3. Dependency Injection: Use FastAPI's Depends() to wire session → repository → usecase → handler
4. One UseCase = One Responsibility: Each UseCase has exactly one public execute method
5. Validate in Value Objects: Business rules live in __post_init__ of frozen dataclasses
6. Domain Exceptions: Create specific exception classes for business rule violations (e.g., TodoNotFoundError, TodoAlreadyCompletedError)
7. Factory Functions: Expose new_* factory functions for creating implementations, keeping concrete classes as implementation details
