APS Modular Structure

The APS solution is designed as a modular platform where the common foundation is completed by specific functional components.

Directory Organization​

The source code is organized to reflect this modularity:

1. The Foundation (Kernel)​

The Kernel directory contains the technical foundations of the application. It is the lowest level component on which all others depend. It handles:

  • System configuration.
  • Data infrastructure.
  • Security and logging.
  • Dependency injection (via specific patterns for Framework 4.8).

2. Platform Components​

Located at the root, these directories correspond to the functional pillars of APS:

  • Formulars: Electronic forms management.
  • Workflow: Process engine and document lifecycle.
  • Directory: Directory management (users, groups, roles).
  • Navigators & Views: Navigation interface and data list definition.
  • Search: Indexing and search engine.

3. Extension Modules​

The Modules directory contains additional software components that can be enabled or disabled as needed:

  • Office / SharePoint: Integration with the Microsoft suite.
  • PdfTools / Scan: PDF document manipulation and scanning.
  • Antivirus: File flow security.

Inter-Module Communication​

Communication between these different modules relies on:

  • Project references (ProjectReferences): Defined in .csproj files, ensuring strict dependency hierarchy.
  • Interfaces: Components often expose their functionalities through interfaces to limit coupling.
  • A Plugin system: Certain components (like the search engine or scripts) allow custom code injection to extend standard behavior without modifying the core.
