Published a new book over the weekend! I've been planning to publish this one for a very long time now!

Finally got my new "JVM" to compile and run the first application (a prime number calculator). A lot of work remains and the execution doesn't go smoothly but it's finally compiling after ~3 months of work!

I'm converting a spring boot application from package-by-layer to package-by-feature architecture.

However, I'm trying to remove the dependency between features; for example, I want to remove the direct reference of the Member entity in the User entity.

public class User extends BaseEntity {

    @Column(nullable = false, unique = true, length = 50)
    private String username;

    @Column(nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String email;

   @OneToOne(mappedBy = "user", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    private Member member;
}

public class Member extends BaseEntity {

    @Column(nullable = false, length = 50)
    private String firstName;

    @Column(length = 50)
    private String middleName;

    @Column(nullable = false, length = 50)
    private String lastName;

    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "user_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    private User user;
}

I'm trying to figure out how I can return memberId for a User every time I fetch the user entity without referencing the member entity in the User entity or creating a relationship between both

You can use an interface there but I would keep that dependency. The goal is to minimize dependencies for clear separation but since the entity layer maps to the DB and the DB has a relation I think it's legitimate to have some relation in place.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the feedback.

I finished one of my side project.

Domnyus • Oct 9 '23

Started my project archangeluslog.com, but I got nothing with that. I am still working and I hope, at least, help people to track their learning

Getting up from bed everyday was what I managed to do, and it was good enough for me this week. Finished another chapter from a frontend course that I left aside too

Matt Eland • Oct 6 '23

I've definitely had seasons in life where that was enough. Kudos to you and hang in there.

Dumebi Okolo • Oct 6 '23

You did so good! I'm proud of you. 🤗

Gyau Boahen Elvis • Oct 6 '23

I completed my 5th (and next to last) assignment in the Udacity iOS Developer nano-degree course. And, it passed on the first attempt! That's a first for me. Last project is "you choose" so I can finally focus on making a calendar for my mom, whose dementia keeps her from being able to use a regular calendar.

Dumebi Okolo • Oct 6 '23

Yaaay! Way to go! 🥳

Matt Eland • Oct 6 '23

Hmmm. I got put on a new AI project, and I got to see my first final chapter from the book. We're about 50 days away from publication and things are going well!
