Exploring the Documentation

ABP has a comprehensive documentation that not only explains the ABP Framework, but also includes guides and samples to help you on creating a maintainable solution by introducing and discussing common software development principle and best practices.

Architecture

ABP offers a complete, modular and layered software architecture based on Domain Driven Design principles and patterns. It also provides the necessary infrastructure to implement this architecture.

• See the Modularity document to understand the module system.
• Implementing Domain Driven Design book is an ultimate guide for who want to understand and implement the DDD with the ABP Framework.
• Microservice Architecture document explains how ABP helps to create a microservice solution.
• Multi-Tenancy document introduces multi-tenancy and explores the ABP multi-tenancy infrastructure.

Infrastructure

There are a lot of features provided by the ABP Framework to achieve real world scenarios easier, like Event Bus, Background Job System, Audit Logging, BLOB Storing, Data Seeding, Data Filtering.

Cross Cutting Concerns

ABP also simplifies (and even automates wherever possible) cross cutting concerns and common non-functional requirements like Exception Handling, Validation, Authorization, Localization, Caching, Dependency Injection, Setting Management, etc.

Application Modules

Application Modules provides pre-built application functionalities;

• Account: Provides UI for the account management and allows user to login/register to the application.
• Identity: Manages organization units, roles, users and their permissions, based on the Microsoft Identity library.
• OpenIddict: Integrates to OpenIddict.
• Tenant Management: Manages tenants for a multi-tenant (SaaS) application.

See the Application Modules document for all pre-built modules.

Startup Templates

The Startup templates are pre-built Visual Studio solution templates. You can create your own solution based on these templates to immediately start your development.
