+
+# Anti-corruption layers
+
+An anti-corruption layer is the adapter that reads another bounded context and translates it into
+the language of yours, so that the foreign model never enters your domain or your application.

+
+## Why
+
+Before adding a line to an order, ordering checks that the product has a price in the catalog. If
+the handler calls `CatalogApi` directly, the catalog's representations spread into the use case,
+then into the domain. Every change in the catalog becomes a change in ordering, and the order
+starts speaking the catalog's language.
+
+::: tip The fix
+One adapter, and only one, touches the catalog. Ordering asks for what it needs in its own words,
+through a [port](../domain/ports.md); the anti-corruption layer calls the catalog, reads its JSON
+and answers with ordering's objects.
+:::
+
+## How it works
+
+<div class="al-cards">
+<div class="al-card"><span class="al-card-title"><span class="al-card-step">1</span>The domain states its need</span>The <code>PriceList</code> port asks for the price of a <code>ProductId</code>, as <code>Money</code>. It never mentions the catalog.</div>
+<div class="al-card"><span class="al-card-title"><span class="al-card-step">2</span>The adapter calls the other context</span><code>CatalogPriceList</code> calls the <a href="/core/strategic/open-host-services">open host service</a> and reads its <a href="/core/strategic/published-language">published language</a>.</div>
+<div class="al-card"><span class="al-card-title"><span class="al-card-step">3</span>It answers with your objects</span>It turns the JSON into <code>Money</code>. Representations come in; they never go out.</div>
+</div>
+
+## Where it fits
+
+The anti-corruption layer is the ordering side of the meeting point. The handler only sees the
+port; the adapter is the one place that knows the catalog exists.

+
+::: tip
+If the catalog moves behind HTTP, only the anti-corruption layer changes: it fetches and validates
+the JSON instead of calling `CatalogApi`. The port, the handler and the domain stay the same.
+:::
+
+## API
+
+```ts
+import type { AntiCorruptionLayer } from "@alveolus/core";
+// or: import type { AntiCorruptionLayer } from
+//   "@alveolus/core/anti-corruption-layers";
+```
+
+### `AntiCorruptionLayer` <Badge type="info" text="abstract · no members" /> <Badge type="tip" text="you implement it" />
+
+```ts
+abstract class AntiCorruptionLayer {}
+```
+
+Marks the class as the translator of another context. It has no members: the class declares its
+role with `implements`, and the rules recognise it.
+
+```ts
+export class CatalogPriceList
+	extends PriceList
+	implements AntiCorruptionLayer { … }
+```
+
+### The methods of the port <Badge type="tip" text="you implement them" />
+
+```ts
+async priceOf(productId: ProductId): Promise<Money | undefined>
+```
+
+For a driven anti-corruption layer: the methods of the [port](../domain/ports.md) it extends,
+such as `priceOf` of `PriceList`. Each one calls the other context, reads its representation and
+returns your objects. Your handlers call them through the port, in your language.
+
+### `consume(event)` <Badge type="info" text="any name" /> <Badge type="tip" text="called by your message broker" />
+
+```ts
+async consume(event: OrderPlacedRepresentation): Promise<void>
+```
+
+For a driving anti-corruption layer: receives an event of the other context, in its published
+language, and turns it into one of your commands.
+
+::: warning Caveats
+- Use `implements`, not `extends`: a driven anti-corruption layer already extends its port.
+- It is the only place, with the composition root, that may import another bounded context: see
+  [`strategic/no-cross-context-import`](../../rules/strategic/no-cross-context-import.md).
+- A driven anti-corruption layer is placed like any adapter, in `driven/<context>/adapters/`; a
+  consumer goes in `driving/`: see [`tactical/no-misplaced-class`](../../rules/tactical/no-misplaced-class.md).
+:::
+
+## Usage
+
+Build the anti-corruption layer through which ordering reads prices from the catalog, one idea at a
+time. Each step shows the whole file: added lines are highlighted, replaced lines are struck out.

+</div>
+
+### 1. Declare what your context needs
+
+The domain of ordering asks for prices through its own [port](../domain/ports.md), `PriceList`,
+with an abstract `priceOf(productId)` that returns a `Money` or `undefined`.
+
+### 2. Declare the adapter
+
+So that the rest of ordering never learns the catalog exists, one driven adapter extends the port
+and implements `AntiCorruptionLayer`. It receives `CatalogApi`, the open host service of the
+catalog, in its constructor.
+
+```ts [src/ordering/driven/catalog/adapters/catalog-price-list.adapter.ts]
+import type { AntiCorruptionLayer } from "@alveolus/core";
+
+import { CatalogApi } from
+	"../../../../catalog/driving/in-process/catalog-api";
+import { PriceList } from "../../../domain/ports/price-list.port";
+
+export class CatalogPriceList
+	extends PriceList
+	implements AntiCorruptionLayer
+{
+	constructor(private readonly catalog: CatalogApi) {
+		super();
+	}
+}
+```
+
+TypeScript now asks for `priceOf`: the next step adds it.
+
+### 3. Ask the other context
+
+The adapter calls the catalog in the catalog's terms: a raw string id, and `undefined` when the
+product does not exist. Ordering's `ProductId` stays on this side.
+
+```ts [src/ordering/driven/catalog/adapters/catalog-price-list.adapter.ts]
+import type { AntiCorruptionLayer } from "@alveolus/core";
+
+import { CatalogApi } from
+	"../../../../catalog/driving/in-process/catalog-api";
+import { Money } from // [!code ++]
+	"../../../../shared-kernel/domain/value-objects/money.value-object"; // [!code ++]
+import { PriceList } from "../../../domain/ports/price-list.port";
+import type { ProductId } from // [!code ++]
+	"../../../domain/value-objects/product-id.identifier"; // [!code ++]
+
+export class CatalogPriceList
+	extends PriceList
+	implements AntiCorruptionLayer
+{
+	constructor(private readonly catalog: CatalogApi) {
+		super();
+	}
+
+	async priceOf(productId: ProductId): Promise<Money | undefined> { // [!code ++]
+		const product = // [!code ++]
+			await this.catalog.productById(productId.value); // [!code ++]
+		if (product === undefined) { // [!code ++]
+			return undefined; // [!code ++]
+		} // [!code ++]
+	} // [!code ++]
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Type the answer in your own words
+
+So that a change in the catalog breaks the build instead of production, the answer is typed with
+ordering's own [published language](./published-language.md): `CatalogProductRepresentation`
+redeclares the fields ordering reads.
+
+```ts [src/ordering/driven/catalog/adapters/catalog-price-list.adapter.ts]
+import type { AntiCorruptionLayer } from "@alveolus/core";
+
+import { CatalogApi } from
+	"../../../../catalog/driving/in-process/catalog-api";
+import { Money } from
+	"../../../../shared-kernel/domain/value-objects/money.value-object";
+import { PriceList } from "../../../domain/ports/price-list.port";
+import type { ProductId } from
+	"../../../domain/value-objects/product-id.identifier";
+import type { CatalogProductRepresentation } from // [!code ++]
+	"../../../published-language/catalog-product.representation"; // [!code ++]
+
+export class CatalogPriceList
+	extends PriceList
+	implements AntiCorruptionLayer
+{
+	constructor(private readonly catalog: CatalogApi) {
+		super();
+	}
+
+	async priceOf(productId: ProductId): Promise<Money | undefined> {
+		const product = // [!code --]
+		const product: CatalogProductRepresentation | undefined = // [!code ++]
+			await this.catalog.productById(productId.value);
+		if (product === undefined) {
+			return undefined;
+		}
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Translate into your model
+
+The domain expects a `Money`, not JSON: the adapter builds the `Currency`, then the `Money`, with
+the factories of the value objects, chained by `andThen`. An invalid price is a broken contract,
+not a business failure, so the adapter throws.
+
+```ts [src/ordering/driven/catalog/adapters/catalog-price-list.adapter.ts]
+import type { AntiCorruptionLayer } from "@alveolus/core"; // [!code --]
+import { type AntiCorruptionLayer, andThen } from "@alveolus/core"; // [!code ++]
+
+import { CatalogApi } from
+	"../../../../catalog/driving/in-process/catalog-api";
+import { Currency } from // [!code ++]
+	"../../../../shared-kernel/domain/value-objects/currency.value-object";// [!code ++]
+import { Money } from
+	"../../../../shared-kernel/domain/value-objects/money.value-object";
+import { PriceList } from "../../../domain/ports/price-list.port";
+import type { ProductId } from
+	"../../../domain/value-objects/product-id.identifier";
+import type { CatalogProductRepresentation } from
+	"../../../published-language/catalog-product.representation";
+
+export class CatalogPriceList
+	extends PriceList
+	implements AntiCorruptionLayer
+{
+	constructor(private readonly catalog: CatalogApi) {
+		super();
+	}
+
+	async priceOf(productId: ProductId): Promise<Money | undefined> {
+		const product: CatalogProductRepresentation | undefined =
+			await this.catalog.productById(productId.value);
+		if (product === undefined) {
+			return undefined;
+		}
+		const { amount, currency } = product.price; // [!code ++]
+		const price = andThen(Currency.of(currency), (code) => // [!code ++]
+			Money.of(amount, code), // [!code ++]
+		); // [!code ++]
+		if (!price.ok) { // [!code ++]
+			const reason = price.error.type; // [!code ++]
+			throw new Error( // [!code ++]
+				`The catalog sent an invalid price: ${reason}`, // [!code ++]
+			); // [!code ++]
+		} // [!code ++]
+		return price.value; // [!code ++]
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Wire it
+
+The composition root of ordering receives the catalog's module and builds the adapter with its open
+host service. The handlers only see `PriceList`.
+
+```ts [src/ordering/ordering.module.ts]
+export class OrderingModule {
+	constructor(db: Pool, catalog: CatalogModule) {
+		const prices = new CatalogPriceList(catalog.api);
+		…
+	}
+}
+```
+
+### 7. Check it
+
+Run the checks. Three rules keep the boundary where it is now:
+
+```sh
+npx alveolus arch check
+```
+
+<div class="al-cards">
+<div class="al-card"><span class="al-card-title"><a href="../../rules/strategic/no-cross-context-import"><code>strategic/no-cross-context-import</code></a></span>Only the anti-corruption layer may use the open host service of another context.</div>

+</div>
+
+A handler that calls the catalog directly is reported:
+
+```
+src/ordering/application/commands/place-order.command.ts
+  3  error  strategic/no-cross-context-import: Uses the open host service of
+  catalog outside an AntiCorruptionLayer: translate it in an

+# Strategic
+
+Strategic design splits a system into bounded contexts, each with its own model, and decides how
+they talk without sharing that model.
+
+## Why
+
+The catalog knows a product by its name, photos and stock. Ordering only needs its price. If
+ordering imports the catalog's `Product` class, every change in the catalog breaks ordering, and
+the two teams can no longer move alone.
+
+::: tip The fix
+Each context keeps its model to itself. They exchange plain JSON through a documented entry point,
+and each side translates it into its own words.
