      <p>I recently watched <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuozyaJQQ1U">a video about separating logic</a> into different categories within your custom code.</p>

      <p>It wasn't a PHP video, but the concept applies to any programming language or framework.</p>

      <p>This was the final structure of the directories:</p>

      <pre><code class="plain">src/
        Controllers/
        Domain/
        Persistence/
        Properties/
        Services/
      </code></pre>

      <p>It was described as using <code>Controllers</code> for presentational logic, <code>Domain</code> for domain logic, and <code>Services</code> for application logic, and reminds me of a domain-driven design (DDD) approach to organising code.</p>

      <p>I remember watching other older videos showing separating business and presentational logic in React into different components (if I remember correctly).</p>

      <p>This isn't an approach I see in Drupal code, maybe more-so in other PHP framework-based projects like Symfony or Laravel.</p>

      <p>It's something I've been thinking of trying, potentially on my website codebase.</p>

      <p>Do you organise your code in this or a similar way?</p>

      <p>If so, why?</p>

      <p>What advantages does it bring?</p>
