# Hexagonal Architecture Compliance Report
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This document certifies that the Text Processor codebase strictly adheres to **Hexagonal Architecture** (Ports & Adapters) principles as defined by Alistair Cockburn.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## ✅ Architectural Compliance Checklist
|
|
|
|
### 1. Core Domain Isolation
|
|
- [x] **Core has ZERO dependencies on Adapters**
|
|
- [x] **Core depends ONLY on standard library and Pydantic**
|
|
- [x] **No framework dependencies in Core** (no FastAPI, no PyPDF2, no python-docx)
|
|
- [x] **All external tool usage is in Adapters**
|
|
|
|
### 2. Port Definitions (Interfaces)
|
|
- [x] **ALL interfaces defined in `src/core/ports/`**
|
|
- [x] **NO abstract base classes in `src/adapters/`**
|
|
- [x] **Incoming Ports**: `ITextProcessor` (Service Interface)
|
|
- [x] **Outgoing Ports**: `IExtractor`, `IChunker`, `IDocumentRepository`
|
|
|
|
### 3. Adapter Implementation
|
|
- [x] **ALL concrete implementations in `src/adapters/`**
|
|
- [x] **Adapters implement Core Ports**
|
|
- [x] **Adapters catch technical errors and raise Domain exceptions**
|
|
- [x] **NO business logic in Adapters**
|
|
|
|
### 4. Dependency Direction
|
|
- [x] **Dependencies point INWARD** (Adapters → Core, never Core → Adapters)
|
|
- [x] **Dependency Inversion Principle satisfied**
|
|
- [x] **Bootstrap is ONLY place that knows about both Core and Adapters**
|
|
|
|
### 5. Factory & Strategy Patterns
|
|
- [x] **ExtractorFactory in Adapters layer** (not Core)
|
|
- [x] **ChunkingContext in Adapters layer** (not Core)
|
|
- [x] **Factories/Contexts registered in Bootstrap**
|

## 🔍 Key Corrections Made
|
|
|
|
### ❌ REMOVED: `base.py` files from Adapters
|
|
**Before (WRONG)**:
|
|
```
|
|
src/adapters/outgoing/extractors/base.py # Abstract base in Adapters ❌
|
|
src/adapters/outgoing/chunkers/base.py # Abstract base in Adapters ❌
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**After (CORRECT)**:
|
|
- Removed all `base.py` files from adapters
|
|
- Abstract interfaces exist ONLY in `src/core/ports/outgoing/`
|
|
|
|
### ✅ Concrete Implementations Directly Implement Ports
|
|
|
|
**Before (WRONG)**:
|
|
```python
|
|
# In src/adapters/outgoing/extractors/pdf_extractor.py
|
|
from .base import BaseExtractor # Inheriting from adapter base ❌
|
|
|
|
class PDFExtractor(BaseExtractor):
|
|
pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**After (CORRECT)**:
|
|
```python
|
|
# In src/adapters/outgoing/extractors/pdf_extractor.py
|
|
from ....core.ports.outgoing.extractor import IExtractor # Port from Core ✅
|
|
|
|
class PDFExtractor(IExtractor):
|
|
"""Concrete implementation of IExtractor for PDF files."""
|
|
|
|
def extract(self, file_path: Path) -> Document:
|
|
# Implementation
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
def supports_file_type(self, file_extension: str) -> bool:
|
|
# Implementation
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
def get_supported_types(self) -> List[str]:
|
|
# Implementation
|
|
pass

## 📋 Port Interfaces (Core Layer)
|
|
|
|
### Incoming Port: ITextProcessor
|
|
```python

|
|
|
|
@abstractmethod

|
|
pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🔧 Adapter Implementations
|
|
|
|
### PDF Extractor
|
|
```python
|
|
# src/adapters/outgoing/extractors/pdf_extractor.py
|
|
from ....core.ports.outgoing.extractor import IExtractor
|
|
from ....core.domain.models import Document
|
|
from ....core.domain.exceptions import ExtractionError
|
|
|
|
class PDFExtractor(IExtractor):
|
|
"""Concrete PDF extractor using PyPDF2."""
|
|
|
|
def extract(self, file_path: Path) -> Document:
|
|
try:
|
|
import PyPDF2 # External library ONLY in adapter
|
|
# ... extraction logic
|
|
except PyPDF2.errors.PdfReadError as e:
|
|
# Map technical error to domain error
|
|
raise ExtractionError(
|
|
message="Invalid PDF file",
|
|
details=str(e),
|
|
file_path=str(file_path),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Fixed Size Chunker
|
|
```python
|
|
# src/adapters/outgoing/chunkers/fixed_size_chunker.py
|
|
from ....core.ports.outgoing.chunker import IChunker
|
|
from ....core.domain.models import Chunk, ChunkingStrategy
|
|
from ....core.domain import logic_utils # Pure functions from Core
|
|
|
|
class FixedSizeChunker(IChunker):
|
|
"""Concrete fixed-size chunker."""
|
|
|
|
def chunk(self, text: str, document_id: UUID, strategy: ChunkingStrategy) -> List[Chunk]:
|
|
# Uses pure functions from Core (logic_utils)
|
|
# Creates Chunk entities from Core domain
|
|
pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🎨 Design Pattern Locations
|
|
|
|
### Factory Pattern
|
|
**Location**: `src/adapters/outgoing/extractors/factory.py`
|
|
```python
|
|
class ExtractorFactory:
|
|
"""Factory for creating extractors (ADAPTER LAYER)."""
|
|
|
|
def create_extractor(self, file_path: Path) -> IExtractor:
|
|
# Returns implementations of IExtractor port
|
|
pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why in Adapters?**
|
|
- Factory knows about concrete implementations (PDFExtractor, DocxExtractor)
|
|
- Core should NOT know about concrete implementations
|
|
- Factory registered in Bootstrap, injected into Service
|
|
|
|
### Strategy Pattern
|
|
**Location**: `src/adapters/outgoing/chunkers/context.py`
|
|
```python
|
|
class ChunkingContext:
|
|
"""Strategy context for chunking (ADAPTER LAYER)."""
|
|
|
|
def set_strategy(self, strategy_name: str) -> None:
|
|
# Selects concrete IChunker implementation
|
|
pass
|
|
|
|
def execute_chunking(self, ...) -> List[Chunk]:
|
|
# Delegates to selected strategy
|
|
pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why in Adapters?**
|
|
- Context knows about concrete strategies (FixedSizeChunker, ParagraphChunker)
|
|
- Core should NOT know about concrete strategies
|
|
- Context registered in Bootstrap, injected into Service
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## 🧪 Error Handling: Adapter → Domain
|
|
|
|
Adapters catch technical errors and map them to domain exceptions:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
# In PDFExtractor (Adapter)
|
|
try:
|
|
import PyPDF2
|
|
# ... PyPDF2 operations
|
|
except PyPDF2.errors.PdfReadError as e: # Technical error
|
|
raise ExtractionError( # Domain error
|
|
message="Invalid PDF file",
|
|
details=str(e),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# In DocxExtractor (Adapter)
|
|
try:
|
|
import docx
|
|
# ... python-docx operations
|
|
except Exception as e: # Technical error
|
|
raise ExtractionError( # Domain error
|
|
message="DOCX extraction failed",
|
|
details=str(e),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Why?**
|
|
- Core defines domain exceptions (ExtractionError, ChunkingError, etc.)
|
|
- Adapters catch library-specific errors (PyPDF2.errors, etc.)
|
|
- Service layer only deals with domain exceptions
|
|
- Clean separation of technical vs. business concerns
|

|
## 🏗️ Bootstrap: The Wiring Layer
|
|
|
|
**Location**: `src/bootstrap.py`
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class ApplicationContainer:
|
|
"""Dependency injection container."""
|
|
|
|
def __init__(self):
|
|
# Create ADAPTERS (knows about concrete implementations)
|
|
self._repository = InMemoryDocumentRepository()
|
|
self._extractor_factory = self._create_extractor_factory()
|
|
self._chunking_context = self._create_chunking_context()
|
|
|
|
# Inject into CORE SERVICE (only knows about Ports)
|
|
self._service = DocumentProcessorService(
|
|
extractor_factory=self._extractor_factory, # IExtractorFactory
|
|
chunking_context=self._chunking_context, # IChunkingContext
|
|
repository=self._repository, # IDocumentRepository
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
def _create_extractor_factory(self) -> ExtractorFactory:
|
|
factory = ExtractorFactory()
|
|
factory.register_extractor(PDFExtractor()) # Concrete
|
|
factory.register_extractor(DocxExtractor()) # Concrete
|
|
factory.register_extractor(TxtExtractor()) # Concrete
|
|
return factory
|
|
|
|
def _create_chunking_context(self) -> ChunkingContext:
|
|
context = ChunkingContext()
|
|
context.register_chunker(FixedSizeChunker()) # Concrete
|
|
context.register_chunker(ParagraphChunker()) # Concrete
|
|
return context
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Key Points**:
|
|
1. Bootstrap is the ONLY place that imports both Core and Adapters
|
|
2. Core Service receives interfaces (Ports), not concrete implementations
|
|
3. Adapters are created and registered here
|
|
4. Perfect Dependency Inversion
|
|

## ✅ SOLID Principles Compliance
|
|
|
|
### Single Responsibility Principle
|
|
- [x] Each extractor handles ONE file type
|
|
- [x] Each chunker handles ONE strategy
|
|
- [x] Each service method has ONE responsibility
|
|
- [x] Functions are max 15-20 lines
|
|
|
|
### Open/Closed Principle
|
|
- [x] Add new extractors without modifying Core
|
|
- [x] Add new chunkers without modifying Core
|
|
- [x] Extend via Ports, not modification
|
|
|
|
### Liskov Substitution Principle
|
|
- [x] All IExtractor implementations are interchangeable
|
|
- [x] All IChunker implementations are interchangeable
|
|
- [x] Polymorphism works correctly
|
|
|
|
### Interface Segregation Principle
|
|
- [x] Small, focused Port interfaces
|
|
- [x] IExtractor: Only extraction concerns
|
|
- [x] IChunker: Only chunking concerns
|
|
- [x] No fat interfaces
|
|
|
|
### Dependency Inversion Principle
|
|
- [x] Core depends on IExtractor (abstraction), not PDFExtractor (concrete)
|
|
- [x] Core depends on IChunker (abstraction), not FixedSizeChunker (concrete)
|
|
- [x] High-level modules don't depend on low-level modules
|
|
- [x] Both depend on abstractions (Ports)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🧪 Testing Benefits
|
|
|
|
### Unit Tests (Core)
|
|
```python
|
|
def test_document_processor_service():
|
|
# Mock the Ports (interfaces)
|
|
mock_factory = MockExtractorFactory()
|
|
mock_context = MockChunkingContext()
|
|
mock_repo = MockRepository()
|
|
|
|
# Inject mocks (Dependency Inversion)
|
|
service = DocumentProcessorService(
|
|
extractor_factory=mock_factory,
|
|
chunking_context=mock_context,
|
|
repository=mock_repo,
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
# Test business logic WITHOUT any infrastructure
|
|
result = service.process_document(...)
|
|
assert result.is_processed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Integration Tests (Adapters)
|
|
```python
|
|
def test_pdf_extractor():
|
|
# Test concrete implementation with real PDF
|
|
extractor = PDFExtractor()
|
|
document = extractor.extract(Path("test.pdf"))
|
|
assert len(document.content) > 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 📊 Verification Checklist
|
|
|
|
Run these checks to verify architecture compliance:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Import Analysis
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Core should NOT import from adapters
|
|
grep -r "from.*adapters" src/core/
|
|
# Expected: NO RESULTS ✅
|
|
|
|
# Core should NOT import external libs (except Pydantic)
|
|
grep -r "import PyPDF2\|import docx\|import fastapi" src/core/
|
|
# Expected: NO RESULTS ✅
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Dependency Direction
|
|
```bash
|
|
# All imports should point inward (toward Core)
|
|
# Adapters → Core: YES ✅
|
|
# Core → Adapters: NO ❌
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Abstract Base Classes
|
|
```bash
|
|
# NO base.py files in adapters
|
|
find src/adapters -name "base.py"
|
|
# Expected: NO RESULTS ✅
|
|
|
|
# All interfaces in Core ports
|
|
find src/core/ports -name "*.py" | grep -v __init__
|
|
# Expected: extractor.py, chunker.py, repository.py, text_processor.py ✅
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 🎯 Summary
|
|
|
|
### What Changed
|
|
1. **Removed** `base.py` from `src/adapters/outgoing/extractors/`
|
|
2. **Removed** `base.py` from `src/adapters/outgoing/chunkers/`
|
|
3. **Updated** all concrete implementations to directly implement Core Ports
|
|
4. **Confirmed** Factory and Context are in Adapters layer (correct location)
|
|
5. **Verified** Core has ZERO dependencies on Adapters
|
|
|
|
### Architecture Guarantees
|
|
- ✅ Core is **100% pure** (no framework dependencies)
|
|
- ✅ Core depends ONLY on **abstractions** (Ports)
|
|
- ✅ Adapters implement **Core Ports**
|
|
- ✅ Bootstrap performs **Dependency Injection**
|
|
- ✅ **Zero circular dependencies**
|
|
- ✅ **Perfect Dependency Inversion**
|
|
|
|
### Benefits Achieved
|
|
1. **Testability**: Core can be tested with mocks, no infrastructure needed
|
|
2. **Flexibility**: Swap implementations (in-memory → PostgreSQL) with one line
|
|
3. **Maintainability**: Clear separation of concerns
|
|
