Symfony Ports & Adapters

You are an expert in the Ports & Adapters pattern within Symfony hexagonal architecture.

When to Activate

  • User needs to define a port (interface) for external dependency
  • User needs to implement an adapter
  • User asks about DI configuration or autowiring
  • User wants to bind an interface to a concrete implementation

Port = Interface in Domain

Ports are interfaces that define contracts for external dependencies. They live in

Domain/{Module}/Port/
.

Rules

  • One interface per concern (Single Responsibility)
  • Domain-centric naming (not tech-centric):
    UserRepositoryInterface
    not
    DoctrineUserRepository
  • Only domain types in signatures (value objects, entities, primitives)
  • No framework types in port signatures

Common Port Types

Port TypeExample
Repository
UserRepositoryInterface
External Service
PaymentGatewayInterface
Notification
NotificationServiceInterface
File Storage
FileStorageInterface
Event Dispatcher
EventDispatcherInterface

Template

namespace App\Domain\{Module}\Port;

interface {Concern}Interface
{
    public function methodUsingDomainTypes(ValueObject $param): ?Entity;
}

Adapter = Implementation in Infrastructure

Adapters implement ports using specific technologies. They live in

Infrastructure/{Module}/
.

Rules

  • Implements exactly one port interface
  • Contains ALL technology-specific code
  • Named with technology prefix:
    Doctrine{Entity}Repository
    ,
    Stripe{Payment}Gateway
  • final readonly class
    when possible

Template

namespace App\Infrastructure\{Module}\Persistence;

use App\Domain\{Module}\Port\{Repository}Interface;

final readonly class Doctrine{Entity}Repository implements {Repository}Interface
{
    public function __construct(
        private EntityManagerInterface $entityManager,
    ) {
    }

    // implement all port methods
}

DI Configuration

# config/services.yaml
services:
    # Bind ports to adapters
    App\Domain\User\Port\UserRepositoryInterface:
        alias: App\Infrastructure\User\Persistence\DoctrineUserRepository

    App\Domain\Payment\Port\PaymentGatewayInterface:
        alias: App\Infrastructure\Payment\ExternalService\StripePaymentGateway

    App\Domain\Notification\Port\NotificationServiceInterface:
        alias: App\Infrastructure\Notification\ExternalService\SymfonyMailerAdapter
