In domain-driven design, using decoupled validator components allows your code to be much more reusable and enables validation rules to rapidly grow. In this article, Toptal engineer Josip Medic shows us how validation can be decoupled from domain objects, made context-specific, and structured well to achieve more sustainable validation code.
