modular-monolith-with-ddd VS responses

- https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd (a really well documented example)

You can see there is a module called building_blocks. Inside it, I keep all the utilities needed in the project, like a logger, serializers, and so on. I did not make up this name, I borrowed it from this repo.

9. Modular Monolith with TDD

This covers far more than just DDD, however, I find the links and README super helpful for a wide range of subjects: https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd

Modular monolith. Here is one of the best production-ready examples https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd

Am wondering what react community thinks of DDD.

I've been reading "blue" DDD book (by Eric Evans) and "red" book (by Vaugh Vernon) and that was a completely "my whole life was a lie" type of experience and relief at the same time. It's just so great to have the principles of who to structure the code. It, by definition makes, your codebase structure meaningful. Because it's structured according to some common knowledge, not your random thoughts at the time you were writing code.

I was surprised to find so little DDD react sample codebases. Let's say for backend there is huge amount of samples, i.e. https://github.com/kgrzybek/modular-monolith-with-ddd . For react/frontend I have bookmarked only https://github.com/talyssonoc/react-redux-ddd/tree/master/sr... and few more, but those others does not meet the optional criteria i like really much - at the highest (or at app) level all codebase need to have folders app, domain, infra and ui. Simple rule, but simplifies life a lot.

So my question is - is DDD for some reasons not very applicable for app frontend development. Or it just never became popular. Or maybe DDD is popular amongst react developers, just I am not aware of this.

Many thanks for any ideas and comments!

I use responses for this (for HTTP/HTTPS requests), to great affect. It's API is very nice. We have an API layer at work that's basically just a proxy to micro services, and responses is what we use to test it.

Please format your code appropriately. But if you are using python requests you can use responses for mocking requests: https://github.com/getsentry/responses

You can use this https://github.com/getsentry/responses

The repsonses library is designed for mocking requests during tests https://github.com/getsentry/responses

I like using responses for mocking API calls in unit tests. It's easy to use and has less boilerplate than doing the mocks yourself. The bulk of your unit tests should be around any data transformation you do, and unit testing them should be fairly straightforward. I'd recommend writing integration tests as well, especially as IME the most common reason why data pipelines with API sources break is due to breaking API changes out of your control. I'd make them as high level as possible and make real API calls, preferably using credentials for a designated testing account. Assert the response from the API call conforms to the contract you expect. Additionally to integration test your code, you can test the main entrypoint to your script and make sure it spits out a file with the shape and contents you expect.

HTTP client library flexibility. Yes, requests pairs well with responses or requests-mock, and HTTPX has RESPX or pytest_httpx. Those testing helpers are an excellent match for the corresponding library, and should certainly be recommended. However, I don't always want to face the risk of rewriting all my tests if I replace the client library some day. And sometimes I am using an altogether different tool (even though both requests and HTTPX are quite awesome) such as urlopen, urllib3, httplib2, tornado, or aiohttp.
