Should Factories Persist Entities?
- by mxmissile
Should factories persist entities they build? Or is that the job of the caller? Pseudo Example Incoming:
public class OrderFactory
{
public Order Build()
{
var order = new Order();
....
return order;
}
}
public class OrderController : Controller
{
public OrderController(IRepository repository)
{
this.repository = repository;
}
public ActionResult MyAction()
{
var order = factory.Build();
repository.Insert(order);
...
}
}
or
public class OrderFactory
{
public OrderFactory(IRepository repository)
{
this.repository = repository;
}
public Order Build()
{
var order = new Order();
...
repository.Insert(order);
return order;
}
}
public class OrderController : Controller
{
public ActionResult MyAction()
{
var order = factory.Build();
...
}
}
Is there a recommended practice here?
