Repository, Service or Domain object - where does logic belong?
- by betitall
Take this simple, contrived example:
UserRepository.GetAllUsers();
UserRepository.GetUserById();
Inevitably, I will have more complex "queries", such as:
//returns users where active=true, deleted=false, and confirmed = true
GetActiveUsers();
I'm having trouble determining where the responsibility of the repository ends. GetActiveUsers() represents a simple "query". Does it belong in the repository?
How about something that involves a bit of logic, such as:
//activate the user, set the activationCode to "used", etc.
ActivateUser(string activationCode);
