# Website Services Architecture

This document defines the role and responsibilities of services in the website layer (`apps/website/lib/services/`).

## Overview

Website services are **frontend orchestration services**. They bridge the gap between server-side composition (PageQueries, Server Actions) and API infrastructure.

## Purpose

Website services answer: **"How does the website orchestrate API calls and handle infrastructure?"**

## Responsibilities

### ✅ Services MAY:
- Call API clients
- Orchestrate multiple API calls
- Handle infrastructure concerns (logging, error reporting, retries)
- Transform API DTOs to Page DTOs (if orchestration is needed)
- Cache responses (in-memory, request-scoped)
- Handle recoverable errors

### ❌ Services MUST NOT:
- Contain business rules (that's for core use cases)
- Create ViewModels (ViewModels are client-only)
- Import from `lib/view-models/` or `templates/`
- Perform UI rendering logic
- Store state across requests

## Placement

```
apps/website/lib/services/
```

## Pattern

### Service Definition

```typescript
import { AdminApiClient } from '@/lib/api/admin/AdminApiClient';
import type { UserDto } from '@/lib/api/admin/AdminApiClient';

export class AdminService {
  constructor(private readonly apiClient: AdminApiClient) {}

  async updateUserStatus(userId: string, status: string): Promise<UserDto> {
    return this.apiClient.updateUserStatus(userId, status);
  }
}
```

### Usage in PageQueries (Reads)

```typescript
// apps/website/lib/page-queries/AdminDashboardPageQuery.ts
import { ConsoleLogger } from '@/lib/infrastructure/logging/ConsoleLogger';
import { EnhancedErrorReporter } from '@/lib/infrastructure/EnhancedErrorReporter';
import { AdminApiClient } from '@/lib/api/admin/AdminApiClient';
import { AdminService } from '@/lib/services/admin/AdminService';

export class AdminDashboardPageQuery {
  async execute(): Promise<PageQueryResult<AdminDashboardPageDto>> {
    // Create infrastructure
    const logger = new ConsoleLogger();
    const errorReporter = new EnhancedErrorReporter(logger, {...});
    const baseUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3001';
    const apiClient = new AdminApiClient(baseUrl, errorReporter, logger);
    const service = new AdminService(apiClient);
    
    // Use service
    const stats = await service.getDashboardStats();
    
    // Transform to Page DTO
    return { status: 'ok', dto: transformToPageDto(stats) };
  }
}
```

### Usage in Server Actions (Writes)

```typescript
// apps/website/app/admin/actions.ts
'use server';

import { ConsoleLogger } from '@/lib/infrastructure/logging/ConsoleLogger';
import { EnhancedErrorReporter } from '@/lib/infrastructure/EnhancedErrorReporter';
import { AdminApiClient } from '@/lib/api/admin/AdminApiClient';
import { AdminService } from '@/lib/services/admin/AdminService';
import { revalidatePath } from 'next/cache';

export async function updateUserStatus(userId: string, status: string): Promise<void> {
  try {
    // Create infrastructure
    const logger = new ConsoleLogger();
    const errorReporter = new EnhancedErrorReporter(logger, {
      showUserNotifications: true,
      logToConsole: true,
      reportToExternal: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
    });
    
    const baseUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3001';
    const apiClient = new AdminApiClient(baseUrl, errorReporter, logger);
    const service = new AdminService(apiClient);
    
    // Use service (NOT API client directly)
    await service.updateUserStatus(userId, status);
    
    // Revalidate
    revalidatePath('/admin/users');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('updateUserStatus failed:', error);
    throw new Error('Failed to update user status');
  }
}
```

## Infrastructure Concerns

**Where should logging/error reporting live?**

In the current architecture, **server actions and PageQueries create infrastructure**. This is acceptable because:
1. Next.js serverless functions are stateless
2. Each request needs fresh infrastructure
3. Manual DI is clearer than magic containers

**Key principle**: Services orchestrate, they don't create infrastructure.

## Dependency Chain

```
Server Action / PageQuery
  ↓ (creates infrastructure)
Service
  ↓ (orchestrates)
API Client
  ↓ (makes HTTP calls)
API
```

## Naming

- Service classes: `*Service`
- Service methods: Return DTOs (not ViewModels)
- Variable names: `apiDto`, `pageDto` (never just `dto`)

## Comparison with Other Layers

| Layer | Purpose | Example |
|-------|---------|---------|
| **Website Service** | Orchestrate API calls | `AdminService` |
| **API Client** | HTTP infrastructure | `AdminApiClient` |
| **Core Use Case** | Business rules | `CreateLeagueUseCase` |
| **Domain Service** | Cross-entity logic | `StrengthOfFieldCalculator` |

## Anti-Patterns

❌ **Wrong**: Service creates ViewModels
```typescript
// WRONG
class AdminService {
  async getUser(userId: string): Promise<UserViewModel> {
    const dto = await this.apiClient.getUser(userId);
    return new UserViewModel(dto); // ❌ ViewModels are client-only
  }
}
```

✅ **Correct**: Service returns DTOs
```typescript
// CORRECT
class AdminService {
  async getUser(userId: string): Promise<UserDto> {
    return this.apiClient.getUser(userId); // ✅ DTOs are fine
  }
}
```

❌ **Wrong**: Service contains business logic
```typescript
// WRONG
class AdminService {
  async canDeleteUser(userId: string): Promise<boolean> {
    const user = await this.apiClient.getUser(userId);
    return user.role !== 'admin'; // ❌ Business rule belongs in core
  }
}
```

✅ **Correct**: Service orchestrates
```typescript
// CORRECT
class AdminService {
  async getUser(userId: string): Promise<UserDto> {
    return this.apiClient.getUser(userId);
  }
}
// Business logic in core use case or page query
```

❌ **Wrong**: Server action calls API client directly
```typescript
// WRONG
'use server';
export async function updateUserStatus(userId: string, status: string) {
  const apiClient = new AdminApiClient(...);
  await apiClient.updateUserStatus(userId, status); // ❌ Should use service
}
```

✅ **Correct**: Server action uses service
```typescript
// CORRECT
'use server';
export async function updateUserStatus(userId: string, status: string) {
  const apiClient = new AdminApiClient(...);
  const service = new AdminService(apiClient);
  await service.updateUserStatus(userId, status); // ✅ Uses service
}
```

## Summary

Website services are **thin orchestration wrappers** around API clients. They handle infrastructure concerns so that PageQueries and Server Actions can focus on composition and validation.

**Key principles**:
1. Services orchestrate API calls
2. Server actions/PageQueries create infrastructure
3. Services don't create ViewModels
4. Services don't contain business rules
5. **Server actions MUST use services, not API clients directly**
