Apply Domain-driven Design to Django without Django Rest Framework

Django-DDD

Apply Domain-driven Design to Django without Django Rest Framework. This could be an overkill for using Django, but it's going to be an interesting experiment.

Requirements

• django
• django-ninja

Points to Note

• Most project hierarchies are similar to python-ddd project.
• The whole project is not dependent on the database using the imperative mapping and repository pattern.
  • Imperative Mapping
  • Repository Pattern
• The built-in features(Admin, ORM, etc.) of Django can be used as they are.

Opinion

DRF has the advantage of being able to create the web applications quickly, but it is inherently too dependent on the database. I want to take advantage of Django's built-in features like Admin, ORM, etc. But I have sometimes suffered from DRF because of its inflexible design.

I found Django-Ninja instead, and it has everything I need.

But I still think DRF is a very good framework, and I highly value DRF's contribution to the Python web community.
