✅ Priority 2: Business Validation Consolidation - COMPLETE

Date: October 2025
Status: COMPLETE
Objective: Move business validation logic from service layers to domain package

---

🎉 Summary

Successfully consolidated business validation logic into the domain package, making validation rules reusable across frontend and backend.

---

📊 What Was Done

1. Created Order Validation Module ✅

File: packages/domain/orders/validation.ts

Includes:

• SKU business rules helpers:

  • hasSimServicePlan() - Check for SIM service
  • hasSimActivationFee() - Check for SIM activation
  • hasVpnActivationFee() - Check for VPN activation
  • hasInternetServicePlan() - Check for Internet service
  • getMainServiceSkus() - Filter main service SKUs

• Extended validation schema:

  • orderWithSkuValidationSchema - Complete order validation with all SKU rules

• Error message helper:

  • getOrderTypeValidationError() - Get specific error for order type

Impact:

• ✅ Validation logic can now be reused in frontend
• ✅ Consistent validation between layers
• ✅ Easy to test in isolation
• ✅ Single source of truth for order business rules

2. Created Billing Validation Constants ✅

File: packages/domain/billing/constants.ts

Includes:

• Pagination constants:

  • INVOICE_PAGINATION - Min/max/default limits

• Status validation:

  • VALID_INVOICE_STATUSES - List of valid statuses

• Validation helpers:

  • isValidInvoiceStatus() - Check status validity
  • isValidPaginationLimit() - Check limit bounds
  • sanitizePaginationLimit() - Sanitize limit value
  • sanitizePaginationPage() - Sanitize page value

Impact:

• ✅ Constants defined once, used everywhere
• ✅ No magic numbers in service code
• ✅ Frontend can use same constants

3. Created Common Validation Toolkit ✅

File: packages/domain/toolkit/validation/helpers.ts

Includes:

• ID validation (UUIDs, Salesforce IDs, positive integers)
• Pagination validation and sanitization
• String validation (non-empty, enum members)
• Array validation (non-empty, unique items)
• Number validation (ranges, positive, non-negative)
• Date validation (ISO datetime, YYYYMMDD format)
• URL validation (general URLs, HTTP/HTTPS URLs)
• Zod schema helpers:
  • createPaginationSchema() - Reusable pagination schema
  • positiveIdSchema - Standard ID schema
  • uuidSchema - Standard UUID schema
  • sortableQuerySchema - Standard sorting schema

Impact:

• ✅ Reusable validation utilities across all domains
• ✅ Consistent validation patterns
• ✅ Type-safe validation helpers

4. Updated OrderValidator Service ✅

File: apps/bff/src/modules/orders/services/order-validator.service.ts

Changes:

• Imports domain validation helpers
• Delegates SKU validation to domain logic
• Reduced from ~50 lines to ~20 lines
• Focuses on infrastructure concerns (DB, APIs)

Before:

// 50+ lines of inline validation logic
validateBusinessRules(orderType: string, skus: string[]): void {
  switch (orderType) {
    case "SIM": {
      const hasSimService = skus.some(/* logic */);
      // ... more logic
    }
    // ... more cases
  }
}

After:

// Simple delegation to domain
validateBusinessRules(orderType: string, skus: string[]): void {
  const validationError = getOrderTypeValidationError(orderType, skus);
  if (validationError) {
    throw new BadRequestException(validationError);
  }
}

5. Updated InvoiceValidator Service ✅

File: apps/bff/src/modules/invoices/validators/invoice-validator.service.ts

Changes:

• Imports domain constants and helpers
• Uses INVOICE_PAGINATION instead of local constants
• Delegates to domain helper functions
• Maintains backward compatibility

Before:

private readonly validStatuses = ["Paid", "Unpaid", ...] as const;
private readonly maxLimit = 100;
private readonly minLimit = 1;

After:

private readonly validStatuses = VALID_INVOICE_STATUSES;
private readonly maxLimit = INVOICE_PAGINATION.MAX_LIMIT;
private readonly minLimit = INVOICE_PAGINATION.MIN_LIMIT;

🎯 Architecture Improvements

Before: Scattered Validation

apps/bff/src/
├── modules/orders/services/
│   └── order-validator.service.ts (50+ lines of business logic)
├── modules/invoices/validators/
│   └── invoice-validator.service.ts (constants + logic)
└── modules/subscriptions/
    └── sim-validation.service.ts (integration-specific)

After: Centralized Domain Validation

packages/domain/
├── orders/
│   ├── validation.ts           ← SKU business rules
│   └── schema.ts               ← Format validation
├── billing/
│   ├── constants.ts            ← Validation constants
│   └── schema.ts               ← Format validation
└── toolkit/validation/
    └── helpers.ts              ← Common utilities

apps/bff/src/ (services now delegate to domain)
├── modules/orders/services/
│   └── order-validator.service.ts (infrastructure only)
└── modules/invoices/validators/
    └── invoice-validator.service.ts (infrastructure only)

✅ What Moved to Domain

Validation Logic	Source	Destination	Type
SKU business rules	OrderValidator service	orders/validation.ts	✅ Pure logic
Invoice status constants	InvoiceValidator service	billing/constants.ts	✅ Constants
Pagination limits	InvoiceValidator service	billing/constants.ts	✅ Constants
ID validation helpers	N/A (new)	toolkit/validation/helpers.ts	✅ Utilities
Pagination helpers	N/A (new)	toolkit/validation/helpers.ts	✅ Utilities

---

❌ What Stayed in Services (Correctly)

These are infrastructure concerns and should NOT move to domain:

Validation Logic	Location	Reason
User mapping exists	OrderValidator	Database query
Payment method exists	OrderValidator	WHMCS API call
SKU exists in Salesforce	OrderValidator	Salesforce API call
Internet duplication check	OrderValidator	WHMCS API call
SIM account extraction	SimValidation	Complex WHMCS integration
Invoice retrieval	InvoiceValidator	WHMCS API call

describe('Order SKU Validation', () => {
  it('should validate SIM order has service plan', () => {
    expect(hasSimServicePlan(['SIM-PLAN-001'])).toBe(true);
    expect(hasSimServicePlan(['SIM-ACTIVATION'])).toBe(false);
  });

  it('should validate SIM order has activation fee', () => {

🎓 Usage Examples

Frontend: Validate Order Before Submission

import { getOrderTypeValidationError } from '@customer-portal/domain/orders';

function validateOrderBeforeSubmit(orderType: string, skus: string[]) {
  const error = getOrderTypeValidationError(orderType, skus);
  if (error) {
    alert(error);
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

Backend: Use Domain Validation

import { getOrderTypeValidationError } from '@customer-portal/domain/orders';

async validateBusinessRules(orderType: string, skus: string[]) {
  const error = getOrderTypeValidationError(orderType, skus);
  if (error) {
    throw new BadRequestException(error);
  }
}

Use Billing Constants

import { INVOICE_PAGINATION, isValidInvoiceStatus } from '@customer-portal/domain/billing';

// Frontend pagination
const maxResults = INVOICE_PAGINATION.MAX_LIMIT;

// Validate status
if (!isValidInvoiceStatus(status)) {
  setError('Invalid status');
}

🎉 Conclusion

Priority 2 is COMPLETE!

Business validation logic has been successfully consolidated into the domain package. The validation rules are now:

• ✅ Reusable across frontend and backend
• ✅ Testable in isolation
• ✅ Maintainable in one place
• ✅ Type-safe and runtime-safe
• ✅ Well-organized and discoverable

Your codebase now has a clean separation between:

• Domain logic (pure business rules in domain package)
• Infrastructure logic (external APIs, DB calls in services)

This is a production-ready architecture that follows best practices! 🚀
