+# EspoCRM Architecture Reference
+
+## Metadata-Driven Architecture
+
+EspoCRM's core architecture is built on metadata - JSON configuration files that define entities, fields, relationships, and behaviors.
+
+### Metadata Structure
+
+Metadata lives in several locations with a priority order:
+
+```
+1. custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/          (highest priority)
+2. custom/Espo/Modules/{ModuleName}/Resources/metadata/
+3. application/Espo/Modules/{ModuleName}/Resources/metadata/
+4. application/Espo/Resources/metadata/            (lowest priority)
+```
+
+### Key Metadata Types
+
+**Entity Definitions** (`entityDefs/{EntityType}.json`):
+```json
+{
+    "fields": {
+        "name": {
+            "type": "varchar",
+            "required": true,
+            "maxLength": 255
+        },
+        "status": {
+            "type": "enum",
+            "options": ["New", "In Progress", "Complete"],
+            "default": "New"
+        }
+    },
+    "links": {
+        "account": {
+            "type": "belongsTo",
+            "entity": "Account",
+            "foreign": "contacts"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Client Definitions** (`clientDefs/{EntityType}.json`):
+```json
+{
+    "controller": "custom:controllers/my-entity",
+    "views": {
+        "detail": "custom:views/my-entity/detail"
+    },
+    "recordViews": {
+        "detail": "custom:views/my-entity/record/detail"
+    },
+    "sidePanels": {
+        "detail": [
+            {
+                "name": "activities",
+                "label": "Activities",
+                "view": "crm:views/record/panels/activities"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Scopes** (`scopes/{EntityType}.json`):
+```json
+{
+    "entity": true,
+    "object": true,
+    "layouts": true,
+    "tab": true,
+    "acl": true,
+    "module": "MyModule",
+    "stream": true
+}
+```
+
+### Metadata Access in Code
+
+```php
+use Espo\Core\Utils\Metadata;
+
+class MyService {
+    public function __construct(private Metadata $metadata) {}
+
+    public function getEntityFields(string $entityType): array {
+        return $this->metadata->get(['entityDefs', $entityType, 'fields']) ?? [];
+    }
+
+    public function isFieldRequired(string $entityType, string $field): bool {
+        return $this->metadata
+            ->get(['entityDefs', $entityType, 'fields', $field, 'required']) ?? false;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## ORM EntityManager
+
+EntityManager is the central access point for ALL database operations in EspoCRM.
+
+### Core EntityManager Methods
+
+```php
+use Espo\ORM\EntityManager;
+
+class DataService {
+    public function __construct(private EntityManager $entityManager) {}
+
+    // Get entity by ID
+    public function getById(string $entityType, string $id): ?Entity {
+        return $this->entityManager->getEntityById($entityType, $id);
+    }
+
+    // Create new entity
+    public function create(string $entityType): Entity {
+        return $this->entityManager->getNewEntity($entityType);
+    }
+
+    // Save entity
+    public function save(Entity $entity): void {
+        $this->entityManager->saveEntity($entity);
+    }
+
+    // Delete entity
+    public function delete(Entity $entity): void {
+        $this->entityManager->removeEntity($entity);
+    }
+
+    // Get repository
+    public function getRepository(string $entityType): RDBRepository {
+        return $this->entityManager->getRDBRepository($entityType);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Repository Pattern
+
+Never access repositories directly - always through EntityManager:
+
+```php
+// Query with conditions
+$contacts = $this->entityManager
+    ->getRDBRepository('Contact')
+    ->where([
+        'accountId' => $accountId,
+        'deleted' => false
+    ])
+    ->find();
+
+// Complex queries
+$query = $this->entityManager
+    ->getQueryBuilder()
+    ->select()
+    ->from('Opportunity')
+    ->where([
+        'stage' => ['Proposal', 'Negotiation'],
+        'amount>=' => 10000
+    ])
+    ->order('createdAt', 'DESC')
+    ->build();
+
+$collection = $this->entityManager
+    ->getRDBRepository('Opportunity')
+    ->clone($query)
+    ->find();
+```
+
+### Transaction Handling
+
+```php
+use Espo\ORM\TransactionManager;
+
+class TransactionalService {
+    public function __construct(
+        private EntityManager $entityManager,
+        private TransactionManager $transactionManager
+    ) {}
+
+    public function performComplexOperation(): void {
+        $this->transactionManager->run(function () {
+            // All operations within this closure are transactional
+            $entity1 = $this->entityManager->getNewEntity('Account');
+            $entity1->set('name', 'Test');
+            $this->entityManager->saveEntity($entity1);
+
+            $entity2 = $this->entityManager->getNewEntity('Contact');
+            $entity2->set('accountId', $entity1->getId());
+            $this->entityManager->saveEntity($entity2);
+
+            // If any exception is thrown, all changes are rolled back
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### STH Collections for Large Datasets
+
+For operations on large datasets, use STH (Statement Handle) collections to avoid memory issues:
+
+```php
+$sthCollection = $this->entityManager
+    ->getRDBRepository('Contact')
+    ->sth()  // Returns STH collection instead of loading all into memory
+    ->where(['accountId' => $accountId])
+    ->find();
+
+foreach ($sthCollection as $contact) {
+    // Process one at a time
+    $contact->set('status', 'Active');
+    $this->entityManager->saveEntity($contact);
+}
+```
+
+## Dependency Injection Container
+
+EspoCRM uses a DI container for dependency management.
+
+### Constructor Injection (CORRECT)
+
+```php
+namespace Espo\Modules\MyModule\Services;
+
+use Espo\ORM\EntityManager;
+use Espo\Core\Utils\Metadata;
+use Espo\Core\Mail\EmailSender;
+
+class MyService {
+    public function __construct(
+        private EntityManager $entityManager,
+        private Metadata $metadata,
+        private EmailSender $emailSender
+    ) {}
+}
+```
+
+### NEVER Pass Container
+
+```php
+// ❌ WRONG - Never do this
+use Espo\Core\Container;
+
+class BadService {
+    public function __construct(private Container $container) {}
+}
+
+// ✅ CORRECT - Inject specific dependencies
+class GoodService {
+    public function __construct(
+        private EntityManager $entityManager,
+        private Metadata $metadata
+    ) {}
+}
+```
+
+### Injectable Services
+
+Common services available for injection:
+
+- `EntityManager` - ORM access
+- `Metadata` - Metadata access
+- `Config` - Application configuration
+- `FileStorageManager` - File operations
+- `InjectableFactory` - Create objects with DI
+- `ServiceFactory` - Access record services
+- `EmailSender` - Send emails
+- `Acl` - Access control
+- `User` - Current user
+- `DateTime` - Date/time utilities
+- `Language` - Translations
+- `TransactionManager` - Database transactions
+
+## Service Layer Architecture
+
+Business logic belongs in Service classes, not hooks or controllers.
+
+### Service Hierarchy
+
+```
+Record Service (base for all entity services)
+    ↓
+Custom Service (your entity-specific logic)
+```
+
+### Extending Record Service
+
+```php
+namespace Espo\Modules\MyModule\Services;
+
+use Espo\Services\Record;
+use Espo\ORM\Entity;
+
+class Opportunity extends Record {
+    // Override to add custom logic before create
+    protected function beforeCreateEntity(Entity $entity, array $data): void {
+        parent::beforeCreateEntity($entity, $data);
+
+        // Custom logic
+        if ($entity->get('amount') > 100000) {
+            $entity->set('priority', 'High');
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Custom action
+    public function markAsWon(string $id): Entity {
+        $entity = $this->getEntity($id);
+
+        if (!$entity) {
+            throw new NotFound();
+        }
+
+        $entity->set('stage', 'Closed Won');
+        $this->entityManager->saveEntity($entity);
+
+        // Trigger additional business logic
+        $this->createWinNotification($entity);
+
+        return $entity;
+    }
+
+    private function createWinNotification(Entity $opportunity): void {
+        // Implementation
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Service Access
+
+```php
+use Espo\Core\ServiceFactory;
+
+class MyClass {
+    public function __construct(private ServiceFactory $serviceFactory) {}
+
+    public function useService(): void {
+        $opportunityService = $this->serviceFactory->create('Opportunity');
+        $opportunityService->markAsWon($id);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Hook System Architecture
+
+Hooks are for lifecycle events - validation and side effects ONLY. Business logic belongs in Services.
+
+### The 7 Hook Interfaces
+
+```php
+namespace Espo\Core\Hook\Hook;
+
+interface BeforeSave {
+    public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options): void;
+}
+
+interface AfterSave {
+    public function afterSave(Entity $entity, array $options): void;
+}
+
+interface BeforeRemove {
+    public function beforeRemove(Entity $entity, array $options): void;
+}
+
+interface AfterRemove {
+    public function afterRemove(Entity $entity, array $options): void;
+}
+
+interface AfterRelate {
+    public function afterRelate(Entity $entity, string $relationName, Entity $foreign, ?array $columnData, array $options): void;
+}
+
+interface AfterUnrelate {
+    public function afterUnrelate(Entity $entity, string $relationName, Entity $foreign, array $options): void;
+}
+
+interface AfterMassRelate {
+    public function afterMassRelate(Entity $entity, string $relationName, array $params, array $options): void;
+}
+```
+
+### Hook Implementation Example
+
+```php
+namespace Espo\Modules\MyModule\Hooks\Account;
+
+use Espo\ORM\Entity;
+use Espo\Core\Hook\Hook\BeforeSave;
+use Espo\Core\ServiceFactory;
+
+class ValidateWebsite implements BeforeSave {
+    public function __construct(private ServiceFactory $serviceFactory) {}
+
+    public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, array $options): void {
+        // Validation only
+        if ($entity->isAttributeChanged('website')) {
+            $website = $entity->get('website');
+            if ($website && !filter_var($website, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
+                throw new \Espo\Core\Exceptions\BadRequest('Invalid website URL');
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Hook Registration
+
+Hooks are auto-discovered in:
+```
+custom/Espo/Modules/{ModuleName}/Hooks/{EntityType}/{HookName}.php
+```
+
+## Coding Standards
+
+### Type Declarations (Required)
+
+```php
+// ✅ CORRECT - All types declared
+class MyService {
+    public function processData(string $id, array $data): object {
+        return $this->entityManager->getEntityById('Account', $id);
+    }
+}
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Missing types
+class BadService {
+    public function processData($id, $data) {
+        return $this->entityManager->getEntityById('Account', $id);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Exception Handling (Not Booleans)
+
+```php
+// ✅ CORRECT - Use exceptions
+use Espo\Core\Exceptions\{NotFound, Forbidden, BadRequest};
+
+public function getAccount(string $id): Entity {
+    $account = $this->entityManager->getEntityById('Account', $id);
+
+    if (!$account) {
+        throw new NotFound();
+    }
+
+    if (!$this->acl->check($account, 'read')) {
+        throw new Forbidden();
+    }
+
+    return $account;
+}
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Returning booleans for errors
+public function getAccount(string $id): ?Entity {
+    $account = $this->entityManager->getEntityById('Account', $id);
+    if (!$account) {
+        return null;  // Lost error context
+    }
+    return $account;
+}
+```
+
+### Composition Over Inheritance
+
+```php
+// ✅ CORRECT - Composition with traits/utilities
+class MyService extends Record {
+    use ValidationTrait;
+
+    public function __construct(
+        private ValidationHelper $validationHelper,
+        private NotificationHelper $notificationHelper
+    ) {
+        parent::__construct();
+    }
+}
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Deep inheritance hierarchy
+class MyService extends IntermediateService extends BaseService extends Record {
+    // Too many levels
+}
+```
+
+### DTOs Over Arrays
+
+```php
+// ✅ CORRECT - Use DTOs
+class CreateAccountData {
+    public function __construct(
+        public readonly string $name,
+        public readonly ?string $website,
+        public readonly array $tags
+    ) {}
+}
+
+public function createAccount(CreateAccountData $data): Entity {
+    // Type-safe operations
+}
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Untyped arrays
+public function createAccount(array $data): Entity {
+    $name = $data['name'] ?? '';  // Fragile, no IDE support
+}
+```
+
+### Maximum 2 Indentation Levels
+
+```php
+// ✅ CORRECT - Early returns, extracted methods
+public function process(Entity $entity): void {
+    if (!$this->validate($entity)) {
+        return;
+    }
+
+    $this->performUpdate($entity);
+}
+
+private function performUpdate(Entity $entity): void {
+    if ($entity->isNew()) {
+        $this->handleNew($entity);
+        return;
+    }
+
+    $this->handleExisting($entity);
+}
+
+// ❌ WRONG - Deep nesting
+public function process(Entity $entity): void {
+    if ($this->validate($entity)) {
+        if ($entity->isNew()) {
+            if ($this->hasPermission()) {
+                // Three levels deep - hard to read
+            }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Formula Scripting
+
+EspoCRM supports declarative logic through Formula scripts - use for simple field calculations instead of hooks.
+
+### Formula in Metadata
+
+```json
+{
+    "fields": {
+        "totalPrice": {
+            "type": "currency",
+            "formula": "quantity * unitPrice"
+        },
+        "displayName": {
+            "type": "varchar",
+            "formula": "string\\concatenate(firstName, ' ', lastName)"
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### When to Use Formula vs. Hooks
+
+**Use Formula for:**
+- Simple field calculations
+- String concatenation
+- Conditional field values
+- Date calculations
+
+**Use Hooks/Services for:**
+- Complex business logic
+- External API calls
+- Multi-entity operations
+- Validation requiring database queries
+
+## Cache Management
+
+### Rebuild Cache After Metadata Changes
+
+```bash
+# Always run after changing metadata
+bin/command rebuild
+```
+
+### Clear Cache Programmatically
+
+```php
+use Espo\Core\Utils\DataCache;
+
+class MyService {
+    public function __construct(private DataCache $dataCache) {}
+
+    public function clearCache(): void {
+        $this->dataCache->clear();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Cache Keys
+
+Common cache keys to be aware of:
+- `metadata` - All metadata
+- `entityDefs` - Entity definitions
+- `clientDefs` - Client definitions
+- `aclDefs` - ACL definitions
