# Clean Architecture checker for Golang



[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/roblaszczak/go-cleanarch)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/roblaszczak/go-cleanarch)



go-cleanarch was created to keep Clean Architecture rules,

like a _The Dependency Rule_ and _interaction between modules_ in your Go projects.

For more information you should read [our article about Clean Architecture](https://threedots.tech/post/introducing-clean-architecture/?utm_source=go-cleanarch).



Some benefits of using Clean Architecture:



> 1. Independent of Frameworks. The architecture does not depend on the existence of some library of feature laden software. This allows you to use such frameworks as tools, rather than having to cram your system into their limited constraints.

> 2. Testable. The business rules can be tested without the UI, Database, Web Server, or any other external element.

> 3. Independent of UI. The UI can change easily, without changing the rest of the system. A Web UI could be replaced with a console UI, for example, without changing the business rules.

> 4. Independent of Database. You can swap out Oracle or SQL Server, for Mongo, BigTable, CouchDB, or something else. Your business rules are not bound to the database.

> 5. Independent of any external agency. In fact your business rules simply don’t know anything at all about the outside world.

### Project schema requirements



go-cleanarch assumes this files structure:



    [GOPATH]/[PACKAGE_NAME]/[LAYER_NAME]



or



    [GOPATH]/[PACKAGE_NAME]/[MODULE_NAME]/[LAYER_NAME]



For example



* go/src/github.com/roblaszczak/awesome-app

    * auth

        * domain

        * application

        * interfaces

    * content

        * domain

            * submodule1

            * submodule2

            * *etc.*

        * application

        * interfaces

    * frontend

        * domain

        * application

        * interfaces



### Allowed `LAYER_NAME`:



The default layer names are as followed. It is possible to set different names

by command line parameters see -domain/-application/-interfaces/-infrastructure

bellow.



    var LayersAliases = map[string]Layer{

        // Domain

        "domain":   LayerDomain,

        "entities": LayerDomain,



        // Application

        "app":         LayerApplication,

        "application": LayerApplication,

        "usecases":    LayerApplication,

        "usecase":     LayerApplication,

        "use_cases":   LayerApplication,



        // Interfaces

        "interfaces": LayerInterfaces,

        "interface":  LayerInterfaces,

        "adapters":   LayerInterfaces,

        "adapter":    LayerInterfaces,



        // Infrastructure

        "infrastructure": LayerInfrastructure,

        "infra":          LayerInfrastructure,

    }



For examples please go to [examples](examples/) directory,

with contains examples of valid and invalid architectures.



For more information you should read [our article about Clean Architecture](https://threedots.tech/post/introducing-clean-architecture/?utm_source=go-cleanarch).



## Installing



    go install github.com/roblaszczak/go-cleanarch@latest



_go-cleanarch was only tested on Linux and also should work on OS X.

Probably it doesn't work well on Windows._



## Running



To run in the current directory:



    go-cleanarch



To run in provided directory



    go-cleanarch go/src/github.com/roblaszczak/awesome-cms



Process will exit with code `1` if architecture is not valid, otherwise it will exit with `0`.



### -ignore-tests



If you need to ignore `*_test.go` files in `go-cleanarch` check you can pass `-ignore-tests`



    go-cleanarch -ignore-tests



It is useful when you have memory implementation in infrastructure layer

and you need to test application service which depends of it.



### -ignore-package



If for some reason you need to allow to make forbidden import, for example



`github.com/roblaszczak/go-cleanarch/examples/ignore-package/app` to `github.com/roblaszczak/go-cleanarch/examples/ignore-package/domain`.



you can use



    go-cleanarch -ignore-package=github.com/roblaszczak/go-cleanarch/examples/ignore-package/app 



### Layer names



The layer names can be set to a specific value with the following parameters. Each

parameter stands for on layer.



    go-cleanarch -domain dom -application appli -interfaces int -infrastructure outer



This would only allow the domain name to be dom, application hast to be appli,

interafces must be int and infrastructure must be outer.



## Running the tests



    make test



## And coding style tests



    make qa
