Dependency Rule is Violated

[curran]

@unclebob Is it not true that all the arrows should point inward?

In this codebase, I see that CodecastDetailsUseCase (in package cleancoderscom.usecases) imports cleancoderscom.Context, which in turn imports cleancoderscom.gateways.CodecastGateway (from package cleancoderscom.gateways).

Therefore, doesn't the Use Case layer import from the Gateway layer, which violates the dependency rule?

Typically the way I solve this is to put the interface of the gateway in the Use Cases component. The Gateway implementation is in the Gateway component. This keeps the arrows pointing in the right direction. I’d be surprised if we didn’t do that in the series. If not, it was an oversight.

@unclebob Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate your presence here.

Thank you for all your contributions to the field. I've become a huge fan recently, watching all your talks on YouTube and trying to really implement Clean Architecture in a large project.

All the best.
