Service Layer Objects

Let's create a class to represent the create task request.

Create the Create Task Request Class

We know we need certain information to create a new task:

Title
Description (optional)
Due date (optional)
Priority

Let's create a class to capture all of this information.

As this class is just a data structure, we'll use a Java record.

Let's create the CreateTaskRequest record in the com.devtiro.task.domain package:

/**
 * Models a request to create a new task.
 * This class is owned by the service layer.
 *
 * @param title The title of the task to create.
 * @param description The description of the task to create.
 * @param dueDate The date the task is due. Can be null.
 * @param priority The priority of the task.
 */
public record CreateTaskRequest(
    String title,
    String description,
    LocalDate dueDate,
    TaskPriority priority
) {}

Now that we have a class to model the create task request, let's move on to the business logic in our service layer.

Summary

Created the CreateTaskRequest class.
