# ABP Application Layer Patterns

Where services and DTOs meet, written the house way

## What this does

You are writing the part of an ABP app that the outside world calls, plus the data objects it passes around. This covers how those services and objects are written, how one shape is mapped to another, and how validation and errors are handled. Reach for it when working in the Application projects.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Write an application service without guessing the conventions
- Shape DTOs that fit the contracts project
- Map between entities and the objects you hand out
