AyCode.Interfaces

Domain interface contracts for the AyCode platform. Defines the shape of entities, DTOs, relationships, and service contracts. All interfaces are composable — small, single-responsibility interfaces are combined via inheritance to build up complex types.

Folder Structure

Folder	Purpose
Addresses/	Address entity, DTO, relation, and foreign key interfaces
Entities/	Base entity interfaces: IEntity, IEntityGuid, IEntityInt, soft-delete support
EntityComment/	IEntityComment — adds Comment property
Enums/	IMessageTypes — message type enum container
Groups/	IGroupBase — base group entity (Guid + timestamps)
Locations/	ILocationBase — read-only lat/lng/address
Logins/	Login service contracts: Logout, Registration, ChangePassword, ForgotPassword
MediaInfo/	Media metadata: thumbnail URL, user media ID
Messages/	Email message system: message, recipient, sender service interfaces
Profiles/	User profile: name, full name, media, address, DTOs
ServiceProviders/	Company/service provider entity and relationship interfaces
StorageHandlers/	ISecureStorageHandler — async secure key-value storage
TimeStampInfo/	Created/Modified timestamps, ITimeStampDisableAutoSet marker
Users/	User entity, base, token, email, password, company relations, DTOs

Root Interfaces

• IOwnerId.cs — Guid OwnerId property.
• IAcModelDtoBase.cs — Base DTO interface (IEntityGuid); generic version adds CreateMainEntity().
• ICustomForeignKey.cs — Generic marker for custom foreign keys (int/Guid variants).

Design Patterns

• Composition over inheritance — Small interfaces (ITimeStampInfo, IAcEmailAddress, IPassword) are mixed in as needed.
• Generic relations — IAcXxxRelation<T> pattern for navigation properties and collections.
• Separate FK interfaces — IAcXxxForeignKey for type-safe foreign key declarations.
• DTO hierarchy — DtoBase interfaces separate from full entity interfaces.
• Soft delete — Optional via IAcSoftRemoveEntity / IAcSoftRemoveEntityGuid / IAcSoftRemoveEntityInt.

Dependencies

Dependency	Purpose
AyCode.Core	Core library (IId<T>, IForeignKey, enums, error codes)
