أسئلة شائعة
When should I use a C4 component view?
Use it when a container is important enough to explain its major internal responsibilities and dependencies.
What is the role of a repository?
It isolates persistence operations so business logic does not depend directly on the database.
Does C4 prescribe component names?
No. Names should describe meaningful responsibilities in the software being documented.
