**Intent:** Service Layer is an abstraction over domain logic. Typically
|
|
applications require multiple kinds of interfaces to the data they store and
|
|
logic they implement: data loaders, user interfaces, integration gateways, and
|
|
others. Despite their different purposes, these interfaces often need common
|
|
interactions with the application to access and manipulate its data and invoke
|
|
its business logic. The Service Layer fulfills this role.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Applicability:** Use the Service Layer pattern when
|
|
|
|
* you want to encapsulate domain logic under API
|
|
* you need to implement multiple interfaces with common logic and data
