congraph/core
=============

[](#congraphcore)

`congraph/core` is the foundation package for the Congraph ecosystem.

Responsibilities
----------------

[](#responsibilities)

- command bus and command validation dispatching
- data transfer objects (`Model`, `Collection`, and related helpers)
- exception types
- mapping and resolution helpers
- shared service provider and framework integration points

Most other Congraph packages depend on `core`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require congraph/core congraph/contracts
```

Laravel package provider:

- [CoreServiceProvider.php](/Users/nikolap/git/np/congraph/packages/core/CoreServiceProvider.php)

Key concepts
------------

[](#key-concepts)

### Command bus

[](#command-bus)

Congraph uses command classes for operations such as:

- create
- update
- delete
- fetch
- get

`CommandDispatcher` performs:

1. before-command events
2. validator resolution
3. command handling
4. after-command events

### DTO layer

[](#dto-layer)

The `Model` and `Collection` DTOs are used across packages for predictable API and repository output.

### Exceptions

[](#exceptions)

Important exception families include:

- validation failures
- not found failures
- bad request failures

These are intentionally mapped by `laravel-api` into HTTP exceptions.

Development
-----------

[](#development)

### Install dependencies

[](#install-dependencies)

```
cd /Users/nikolap/git/np/congraph/packages/core
composer update -W
```

### Run tests

[](#run-tests)

```
composer test
```

Contribution notes
------------------

[](#contribution-notes)

- changes here affect the whole monorepo
- preserve backwards-compatible DTO behavior when possible
- add tests for command dispatch, validation mapping, and DTO normalization
- if you touch event naming or exception mapping, re-test dependent packages
