thanks for your reply.

Assuming there are only "productId" and "quantity" given as a 
"basketItem"s property, would it break DDD ideas if i would add a 
getter getProduct() to the "basketItem" model and inside this getter i 
fetch the "product" directly from the repository?

I just want to keep my basket dynamic ;)

Kind regards, Jan
