node-event-store

This package provides support for an event-sourced persistence strategy leveraging node.js's Stream interface.

This exposes the wonderful pipe for reading events into and out of Aggregate roots while making it easy to pipe into your publisher(s).

Install

npm install node-event-store

Supported DBs

Currently, only redis.

npm install node-event-store-redis

Examples

A typical command handler

var eventStore = require('node-event-store')
var redisStrategy = require('node-event-store-redis')
var RedisClient = require('redis-stream')
var eventStream = require('event-stream')
    
    
function aTypicalCommandHandler () {
    var store = initializeEventStore()

    //by default this will pull
    //all events using
    //minRevision = 0 && maxRevision=Number.MAX_VALUE
    //streamId is typically your Aggregate Root id
    var filter = {
        streamId: '123'
    }

    var stream = store.open(filter);
    //this bit is handled by _you_ according
    //to your domain reqs
    var aggregate = createAggregate()
    var commandHandler = eventStream.map(phonyAggregateOperation)
    var publisher = eventStream.through(publishTheCommit)
    stream.pipe(aggregate).pipe(commandHandler).pipe(stream.commit()).pipe(publisher)

}

function initializeEventStore () {
    //using database 11 of local redis
    //for now, the branch of redis-stream
    //at github.com/mnichols/redis-stream/tarball/reply
    //but will fold into event-store
    //see https://github.com/mnichols/node-event-store/issues/8
    var redisCli = new RedisClient(6379, 'localhost', 11)
    var redisStorageCfg = {
        client: redisCli
    }
    var redis = redisStrategy.createStorage(redisStorageCfg)
    var auditor = redisStrategy.createAuditor(redisStorageCfg)
    //include the auditor to get support for
    //streaming all events in the store.
    //Handy for rebuilding view models or audits
    var store = eventStore(redis, auditor) 

}

function createAggregate() {
    //it's up to you to provide a writable stream
    //that receives the events
    //node-event-store will hand you.
    //For this example, we are just buffering them all
    //and then passing them into a another filter.
    //From there, we are simply passing on the aggregate root
    //but obviously you need to apply the events to your aggregate first :)
    var AggregateRoot = function () { }
    var ar = new AggregateRoot()
    var poolEvents = require('./bucket-stream')
    var mapEventsToAgg = eventStream.map(function (events, next) {
        ar.events = events
        next(null, ar);
    })
    eventStream.pipeline(poolEvents, mapEventsToAgg)
}

function phonyAggregateOperation (agg, next) {
    //do some stuff with aggregate
    //and expose events 
    next(null, {some:'event'})
}

function publishTheCommit (commit) {
    //commit.payload is the Array of events
    //do stuff here

}
