RE: Returning newly created entities from the aggregate

Hi Moran,
 

 I was planning to use domain events for other aspects of this system but I hadn't considered using them for this purpose, it certainly makes sense though, thank you.
 

 Thinking about this from an implementation point of view I think the most fitting route would be to return the ID from the method for the time being.
 This is running in a web application so bringing events into the mix here might complicate things unnecessarily.
 

 Psuedocode:
 

 parent = GetOrganisation(parentId)
 new_id = null;
 SubscribeToOrganisationCreatedEvent(ev => new_id = ev.new_id)
 parent.RegisterSubOrganisation("alpha bravo")
 RedirectToOrganisationPage(new_id)
 

 versus
 

 parent = GetOrganisation(parentId)
 new_id = parent.RegisterSubOrganisation("alpha bravo")
 RedirectToOrganisationPage(new_id)
 

 

 Having typed that out it only adds 2 lines really so I shall have to give this some more thought.
 

 

 Regards,
 Matt
