I've been developing a many years and a common problem I face is how best to separate out the service layer. I've been using the repository pattern mainly, but I still struggle with this common scenario.
Customer service that returns a single customer. Invoice service that returns a list of invoices by customer.
The consumer of the service sometimes wants just a Customer other times they want the customer and the invoices which is fine to leave as two calls.
But a new requirement may be they want the Customer, but also want the total number of invoices the respective customer has.
I do not want to corrupt the GetCustomer method and do not want to return a list of invoices and have them do a count (this would work). Is there a best practice without getting into create a lot of one of methods while still keeping performance and round trips in mind? I see a lot of designs where there will get GetCustomer, GetCustomerDeepLoad, etc.
thanks.
