# Story 1.16.2: Eliminate UUIDs from API - Use Only Meaningful IDs

# Status

Done

Completed:

• Phases 1-4 (Shared Kernel, Event Management Service, Company Management, Frontend - all Company-related work)
• Phase 5 Task 5.1 (Test Data & Bruno API Tests - Java integration tests + all Bruno tests for companies-api and events-api)
• Phase 5 Task 5.2 (Run Full Test Suite - Shared-kernel ✅, Company-User-Management-Service ✅, 218 tests passing) Next: Phase 5 Tasks 5.3-5.4 (Verify API Responses, Update Architecture Documentation) Blocked:
• Event Management Service implementation (Story 1.16.2 not yet applied to events backend)
• User Management (blocked on User entity implementation)

# Story

As a developer and API consumer, I want the API to expose only meaningful, human-readable IDs (eventCode, username, company name), so that the API is cleaner, more intuitive, and UUIDs are kept as internal database implementation details only.

# Domain Context

# Primary Domain

Cross-cutting Infrastructure - Affects all bounded contexts:

• Event Management (eventCode)
• Company Management (company name)
• User Management (username)
• All domain events (remove ID wrappers)

# Involved Services

• Shared Kernel: Remove ID wrapper types, update DomainEvent base class
• Event Management Service: Use eventCode in API, DTO projections
• Company-User Management Service: Use username and company name in API, DTO projections

# Architectural Decision

Database Layer (Internal):

• UUID primary keys remain (performance, stability, immutability)
• Foreign keys use UUIDs internally
• Meaningful IDs are unique alternate keys (indexed)

API Layer (Public):

• Only meaningful IDs exposed in requests/responses
• No UUIDs in DTOs, OpenAPI specs, or domain events
• DTO projections map UUID FKs → meaningful IDs

Strategy:

Database: events.id (UUID PK), events.event_code (unique alternate key)
API:      GET /events/BATbern56 → { "id": "BATbern56", "organizerId": "john.doe" }

# Requirements Context

# Related Functional Requirements

• FR-API-001: APIs must use human-readable identifiers
• FR-DX-001: Developer experience - clean, intuitive API contracts
• FR-PERF-001: Database performance - UUID PKs for joins/indexes

# Architecture Alignment

• Prerequisite: Story 1.16.1 (Meaningful IDs infrastructure) must be completed first
• Builds on: Existing dual-identifier pattern (UUID PK + meaningful alternate key)
• Removes: ID wrapper complexity (EventId, UserId, CompanyId, SpeakerId)

# Acceptance Criteria

# Shared Kernel (AC 1-3)

1. AC1: ID wrapper classes are completely removed

   • EventId.java, UserId.java, CompanyId.java, SpeakerId.java deleted
   • All references to these types removed from codebase
   • No compilation errors after deletion

2. AC2: DomainEvent base class uses String for aggregate IDs

   • DomainEvent<UUID> changed to DomainEvent<String>
   • aggregateId field holds meaningful ID (eventCode, username, company name)
   • userId field is plain String (not UserId wrapper)

3. AC3: SlugGenerationService provides username generation

   • generateUsername(firstName, lastName) method implemented
   • Handles German characters (ä→ae, ö→oe, ü→ue)
   • ensureUniqueUsername() handles collisions (.2, .3 suffixes)

# Event Management Service (AC 4-7)

4. AC4: Event DTOs use only meaningful IDs (no UUIDs)

   • EventResponse.id returns eventCode (e.g., “BATbern56”)
   • EventResponse.organizerId returns username (e.g., “john.doe”)
   • No UUID fields in any DTO

5. AC5: Event API endpoints use eventCode in paths

   • GET /api/v1/events/{eventCode} accepts eventCode
   • PUT /api/v1/events/{eventCode} uses eventCode
   • DELETE /api/v1/events/{eventCode} uses eventCode

6. AC6: Event domain events use String IDs (no wrappers)

   • EventCreatedEvent extends DomainEvent<String>
   • aggregateId = eventCode
   • userId = username (plain String)

7. AC7: DTO projections used for all read queries

   • Repository projection queries join to resolve FKs
   • Single query returns complete DTO (no N+1)
   • Projections use constructor expressions in JPQL

# Company-User Management Service (AC 8-12)

8. AC8: User entity has username field with generation

   • Database migration adds username column (unique, indexed)
   • Username auto-generated from firstName.lastName
   • Collision handling appends .2, .3, etc.

9. AC9: User DTOs use only meaningful IDs

   • UserResponse.id returns username
   • UserResponse.companyId returns company.name
   • No UUID fields in any user DTO

10. AC10: Company DTOs use name as id

    • CompanyResponse.id returns company.name (e.g., “GoogleZH”)
    • displayName field shows full name (e.g., “Google Zürich AG”)
    • No UUID id field

11. AC11: User/Company API endpoints use meaningful IDs

    • GET /api/v1/users/{username} accepts username
    • GET /api/v1/companies/{companyName} accepts company name (case-insensitive)
    • All endpoints return DTOs with meaningful IDs only

12. AC12: Company/User domain events use String IDs

    • CompanyCreatedEvent aggregateId = company.name
    • All events use plain String userId (no wrapper)

# OpenAPI & Testing (AC 13-14)

13. AC13: OpenAPI specs contain no UUID types

    • All format: uuid removed from specs
    • String patterns define formats (e.g., ^BATbern[0-9]+$)
    • Examples use meaningful IDs

14. AC14: All tests use meaningful IDs

    • Test data builders use eventCode, username, company.name
    • Integration tests assert on meaningful IDs
    • No UUID assertions in response validation

# Dev Notes - Implementation Guide

# Key Architectural Decisions

1. Keep UUIDs in Database

• Primary keys remain UUID (performance, immutability)
• Foreign keys use UUID internally
• Meaningful IDs are unique alternate keys

2. DTO Projections for All Reads

• Use JPQL constructor expressions
• JOIN to resolve FK UUIDs → meaningful IDs
• Single query returns complete DTO (no N+1)

3. Service Layer Resolves IDs

• Requests provide meaningful IDs (username, company.name)
• Service resolves to entities (uses UUID internally)
• Responses use DTO projections (meaningful IDs only)

# DTO Projection Pattern

// DTO Record
public record EventResponseDto(
    String id,          // eventCode
    String organizerId, // username
    String title
    // ... no UUIDs
) {}

// Repository Projection
@Query("""
    SELECT new ch.batbern.events.dto.EventResponseDto(
        e.eventCode,
        u.username,
        e.title
    )
    FROM Event e
    JOIN e.organizer u
    WHERE e.eventCode = :code
""")
Optional<EventResponseDto> findEventDtoByCode(@Param("code") String eventCode);

// Service Usage
public EventResponseDto getEvent(String eventCode) {
    return eventRepository.findEventDtoByCode(eventCode)
        .orElseThrow(() -> new EventNotFoundException(eventCode));
}

# Meaningful ID Resolution Pattern

// Create flow: meaningful ID → entity
public EventResponseDto createEvent(CreateEventRequest request) {
    // Resolve username → User entity
    User organizer = userRepository.findByUsername(request.getOrganizerId())
        .orElseThrow(() -> new UserNotFoundException(request.getOrganizerId()));

    // Create entity with UUID FKs
    Event event = Event.builder()
        .eventCode("BATbern" + request.getEventNumber())
        .organizer(organizer)  // Uses UUID FK internally
        .build();

    Event saved = eventRepository.save(event);

    // Return DTO with meaningful IDs
    return eventRepository.findEventDtoByCode(saved.getEventCode())
        .orElseThrow();
}

# Username Generation Pattern

// Auto-generate with collision handling
String baseUsername = slugService.generateUsername(
    request.getFirstName(),
    request.getLastName()
);

String username = slugService.ensureUniqueUsername(
    baseUsername,
    userRepository::existsByUsername
);

// Result: john.doe, or john.doe.2 if collision

# Implementation Approach

TDD workflow across 5 phases:

1. Shared kernel foundation (delete wrappers, update DomainEvent)
2. Event management service (DTOs, projections, events)
3. Company-user management service (username generation, DTOs, projections)
4. Frontend (company components only)
5. Testing and documentation

# Debug Log References

To be populated during implementation

# Completion Notes

Phase 1 - Completed:
