Bounded Contexts

Settings for scaffolding out a bounded context for within your domain project.

Bounded Contexts

A bounded context is a logical contextual boundary within your domain, in the same vein that it is used in Domain Driven Design (DDD). For example, in a clinical domain, I might have front desk, billing, laboratory, and reporting contexts.

Bounded Contexts Properties

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ProjectNameYesA simple string that will become the name of your solution within a bounded context.None
