Lee las decisiones que hay detrás.
Keeps invoice workflow in a single handler.
Separates tax calculation and PDF rendering.
Shows persistence, delivery and ledger collaborators.
Use this close-up C4 view to discuss the code-level responsibilities behind invoice generation.
Preguntas habituales
Is a C4 code view a class diagram?

Why use an invoice handler?
It provides one place to coordinate the workflow across calculation, rendering, storage and delivery.
What should be omitted?
Framework internals and minor helper functions that do not help readers understand the design.
