⚠️ IMPORTANT NEWS! 📰

I’ve been dealing with CQRS, event-sourcing and DDD long enough now that I don’t need working with it anymore unfortunately, so at least for now this my formal farewell!

I want to thank everyone who has contributed in one way or another. Especially...

  • Jan, who introduced me to this topic.
  • Dimitar, one of the last bigger contributors and maintainer.
  • My last employer, who gave me the possibility to use all these CQRS modules in a big Cloud-System.
  • My family and friends, who very often came up short.

Finally, I would like to thank Golo Roden, who was there very early at the beginning of my CQRS/ES/DDD journey and is now here again to take over these modules.

Golo Roden is the founder, CTO and managing director of the native web, a company specializing in native web technologies. Among other things, he also teaches CQRS/ES/DDD etc. and based on his vast knowledge, he brought wolkenkit to life. wolkenkit is a CQRS and event-sourcing framework based on Node.js. It empowers you to build and run scalable distributed web and cloud services that process and store streams of domain events.

With this step, I can focus more on i18next, locize and localistars. I'm happy about that. 😊

So, there is no end, but the start of a new phase for my CQRS modules. 😉

I wish you all good luck on your journey.

Who knows, maybe we'll meet again in a github issue or PR at i18next 😉

Introduction

JS.ORG travis npm

The project goal is to provide an eventstore implementation for node.js:

  • load and store events via EventStream object
  • event dispatching to your publisher (optional)
  • supported Dbs (inmemory, mongodb, redis, tingodb, elasticsearch, azuretable, dynamodb)
  • snapshot support
  • query your events

Consumers

Installation

npm install eventstore

Usage

Require the module and init the eventstore:

var eventstore = require('eventstore');

var es = eventstore();

By default the eventstore will use an inmemory Storage.

Logging

For logging and debugging you can use debug by TJ Holowaychuk

simply run your process with

DEBUG=eventstore* node app.js

Provide implementation for storage

example with mongodb:

var es = require('eventstore')({
  type: 'mongodb',
  host: 'localhost',                             // optional
  port: 27017,                                   // optional
  dbName: 'eventstore',                          // optional
  eventsCollectionName: 'events',                // optional

  transactionsCollectionName: 'transactions',    // optional
  timeout: 10000,                                // optional
  // emitStoreEvents: true                       // optional, by default no store events are emitted
  // maxSnapshotsCount: 3                        // optional, defaultly will keep all snapshots
  // authSource: 'authedicationDatabase'         // optional
  // username: 'technicalDbUser'                 // optional
  // password: 'secret'                          // optional
  // url: 'mongodb://user:pass@host:port/db?opts // optional
  // positionsCollectionName: 'positions'        // optional, defaultly wont keep position
});

example with redis:

var es = require('eventstore')({
  type: 'redis',
  host: 'localhost',                          // optional
  port: 6379,                                 // optional
  db: 0,                                      // optional
  prefix: 'eventstore',                       // optional
  eventsCollectionName: 'events',             // optional
  snapshotsCollectionName: 'snapshots',       // optional
  timeout: 10000                              // optional

  // maxSnapshotsCount: 3                     // optional, defaultly will keep all snapshots
  // password: 'secret'                       // optional
});

example with tingodb:

var es = require('eventstore')({
  type: 'tingodb',
  dbPath: '/path/to/my/db/file',              // optional
  eventsCollectionName: 'events',             // optional
  snapshotsCollectionName: 'snapshots',       // optional
  transactionsCollectionName: 'transactions', // optional
  timeout: 10000,                             // optional
  // emitStoreEvents: true,                   // optional, by default no store events are emitted
  // maxSnapshotsCount: 3                     // optional, defaultly will keep all snapshots
});

example with elasticsearch:

var es = require('eventstore')({
  type: 'elasticsearch',
  host: 'localhost:9200',                     // optional
  indexName: 'eventstore',                    // optional
  eventsTypeName: 'events',                   // optional
  snapshotsTypeName: 'snapshots',             // optional
  log: 'warning',                             // optional
  maxSearchResults: 10000,                    // optional
  // emitStoreEvents: true,                   // optional, by default no store events are emitted
  // maxSnapshotsCount: 3                     // optional, defaultly will keep all snapshots
});

example with custom elasticsearch client (e.g. with AWS ElasticSearch client. Note http-aws-es package usage in this example):

var elasticsearch = require('elasticsearch');

var esClient = = new elasticsearch.Client({
  hosts: 'SOMETHING.es.amazonaws.com',
  connectionClass: require('http-aws-es'),
  amazonES: {
    region: 'us-east-1',
    accessKey: 'REPLACE_AWS_accessKey',
    secretKey: 'REPLACE_AWS_secretKey'
  }
});

var es = require('eventstore')({
  type: 'elasticsearch',
  client: esClient,
  indexName: 'eventstore',
  eventsTypeName: 'events',
  snapshotsTypeName: 'snapshots',
  log: 'warning',
  maxSearchResults: 10000
});

example with azuretable:

var es = require('eventstore')({
  type: 'azuretable',
  storageAccount: 'nodeeventstore',
  storageAccessKey: 'aXJaod96t980AbNwG9Vh6T3ewPQnvMWAn289Wft9RTv+heXQBxLsY3Z4w66CI7NN12+1HUnHM8S3sUbcI5zctg==',
  storageTableHost: 'https://nodeeventstore.table.core.windows.net/',
  eventsTableName: 'events',               // optional
  snapshotsTableName: 'snapshots',         // optional
  timeout: 10000,                          // optional
  emitStoreEvents: true                    // optional, by default no store events are emitted
});

example with dynamodb:

var es = require('eventstore')({
    type: 'dynamodb',
    eventsTableName: 'events',                  // optional
    snapshotsTableName: 'snapshots',            // optional
    undispatchedEventsTableName: 'undispatched' // optional
    EventsReadCapacityUnits: 1,                 // optional
    EventsWriteCapacityUnits: 3,                // optional
    SnapshotReadCapacityUnits: 1,               // optional
    SnapshotWriteCapacityUnits: 3,              // optional
    UndispatchedEventsReadCapacityUnits: 1,     // optional
    UndispatchedEventsReadCapacityUnits: 1,     // optional
    useUndispatchedEventsTable: true            // optional
    eventsTableStreamEnabled: false             // optional
    eventsTableStreamViewType: 'NEW_IMAGE',     // optional
    emitStoreEvents: true                       // optional, by default no store events are emitted
});

DynamoDB credentials are obtained by eventstore either from environment vars or credentials file. For setup see AWS Javascript SDK.

DynamoDB provider supports DynamoDB local for local development via the AWS SDK endpoint option. Just set the $AWS_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT (or %AWS_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT% in Windows) environment variable to point to your running instance of Dynamodb local like this:

$ export AWS_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8000

Or on Windows:

> set AWS_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8000

The useUndispatchedEventsTable option to available for those who prefer to use DyanmoDB.Streams to pull events from the store instead of the UndispatchedEvents table. The default is true. Setting this option to false will result in the UndispatchedEvents table not being created at all, the getUndispatchedEvents method will always return an empty array, and the setEventToDispatched will effectively do nothing.

Refer to StreamViewType for a description of the eventsTableStreamViewType option

Built-in event publisher (optional)

if defined the eventstore will try to publish AND set event do dispatched on its own...

sync interface

es.useEventPublisher(function(evt) {
  // bus.emit('event', evt);
});

async interface

es.useEventPublisher(function(evt, callback) {
  // bus.sendAndWaitForAck('event', evt, callback);
});

catch connect and disconnect events

es.on('connect', function() {
  console.log('storage connected');
});

es.on('disconnect', function() {
  console.log('connection to storage is gone');
});

define event mappings [optional]

Define which values should be mapped/copied to the payload event.

es.defineEventMappings({
  id: 'id',
  commitId: 'commitId',
  commitSequence: 'commitSequence',
  commitStamp: 'commitStamp',
  streamRevision: 'streamRevision'
});

initialize

es.init(function (err) {
  // this callback is called when all is ready...
});

// or

es.init(); // callback is optional

working with the eventstore

get the eventhistory (of an aggregate)

es.getEventStream('streamId', function(err, stream) {
  var history = stream.events; // the original event will be in events[i].payload

  // myAggregate.loadFromHistory(history);
});

or

es.getEventStream({
  aggregateId: 'myAggregateId',
  aggregate: 'person',          // optional
  context: 'hr'                 // optional
}, function(err, stream) {
  var history = stream.events; // the original event will be in events[i].payload

  // myAggregate.loadFromHistory(history);
});

'streamId' and 'aggregateId' are the same... In ddd terms aggregate and context are just to be more precise in language. For example you can have a 'person' aggregate in the context 'human ressources' and a 'person' aggregate in the context of 'business contracts'... So you can have 2 complete different aggregate instances of 2 complete different aggregates (but perhaps with same name) in 2 complete different contexts

you can request an eventstream even by limit the query with a 'minimum revision number' and a 'maximum revision number'

var revMin = 5,
    revMax = 8; // if you omit revMax or you define it as -1 it will retrieve until the end

es.getEventStream('streamId' || {/* query */}, revMin, revMax, function(err, stream) {
  var history = stream.events; // the original event will be in events[i].payload

  // myAggregate.loadFromHistory(history);
});

store a new event and commit it to store

es.getEventStream('streamId', function(err, stream) {
  stream.addEvent({ my: 'event' });
  stream.addEvents([{ my: 'event2' }]);

  stream.commit();

  // or

  stream.commit(function(err, stream) {
    console.log(stream.eventsToDispatch); // this is an array containing all added events in this commit.
  });
});

if you defined an event publisher function the committed event will be dispatched to the provided publisher

if you just want to load the last event as stream you can call getLastEventAsStream instead of ´getEventStream´.

working with snapshotting

get snapshot and eventhistory from the snapshot point

es.getFromSnapshot('streamId', function(err, snapshot, stream) {
  var snap = snapshot.data;
  var history = stream.events; // events history from given snapshot

  // myAggregate.loadSnapshot(snap);
  // myAggregate.loadFromHistory(history);
});

or

es.getFromSnapshot({
  aggregateId: 'myAggregateId',
  aggregate: 'person',          // optional
  context: 'hr'                 // optional
}, function(err, snapshot, stream) {
  var snap = snapshot.data;
  var history = stream.events; // events history from given snapshot

  // myAggregate.loadSnapshot(snap);
  // myAggregate.loadFromHistory(history);
});

you can request a snapshot and an eventstream even by limit the query with a 'maximum revision number'

var revMax = 8; // if you omit revMax or you define it as -1 it will retrieve until the end

es.getFromSnapshot('streamId' || {/* query */}, revMax, function(err, snapshot, stream) {
  var snap = snapshot.data;
  var history = stream.events; // events history from given snapshot

  // myAggregate.loadSnapshot(snap);
  // myAggregate.loadFromHistory(history);
});

create a snapshot point

es.getFromSnapshot('streamId', function(err, snapshot, stream) {

  var snap = snapshot.data;
  var history = stream.events; // events history from given snapshot

  // myAggregate.loadSnapshot(snap);
  // myAggregate.loadFromHistory(history);

  // create a new snapshot depending on your rules
  if (history.length > myLimit) {
    es.createSnapshot({
      streamId: 'streamId',
      data: myAggregate.getSnap(),
      revision: stream.lastRevision,
      version: 1 // optional
    }, function(err) {
      // snapshot saved
    });

    // or

    es.createSnapshot({
      aggregateId: 'myAggregateId',
      aggregate: 'person',          // optional
      context: 'hr'                 // optional
      data: myAggregate.getSnap(),
      revision: stream.lastRevision,
      version: 1 // optional
    }, function(err) {
      // snapshot saved
    });
  }

  // go on: store new event and commit it
  // stream.addEvents...

});

You can automatically clean older snapshots by configuring the number of snapshots to keep with maxSnapshotsCount in eventstore options.

own event dispatching (no event publisher function defined)

es.getUndispatchedEvents(function(err, evts) {
  // or es.getUndispatchedEvents('streamId', function(err, evts) {
  // or es.getUndispatchedEvents({ // free choice (all, only context, only aggregate, only aggregateId...)
  //                                context: 'hr',
  //                                aggregate: 'person',
  //                                aggregateId: 'uuid'
  //                              }, function(err, evts) {

  // all undispatched events
  console.log(evts);

  // dispatch it and set the event as dispatched

  for (var e in evts) {
    var evt = evts[r];
    es.setEventToDispatched(evt, function(err) {});
    // or
    es.setEventToDispatched(evt.id, function(err) {});
  }

});

query your events

for replaying your events or for rebuilding a viewmodel or just for fun...

skip, limit always optional

var skip = 0,
    limit = 100; // if you omit limit or you define it as -1 it will retrieve until the end

es.getEvents(skip, limit, function(err, evts) {
  // if (events.length === amount) {
  //   events.next(function (err, nextEvts) {}); // just call next to retrieve the next page...
  // } else {
  //   // finished...
  // }
});

// or

es.getEvents('streamId', skip, limit, function(err, evts) {
  // if (events.length === amount) {
  //   events.next(function (err, nextEvts) {}); // just call next to retrieve the next page...
  // } else {
  //   // finished...
  // }
});

// or

es.getEvents({ // free choice (all, only context, only aggregate, only aggregateId...)
  context: 'hr',
  aggregate: 'person',
  aggregateId: 'uuid'
}, skip, limit, function(err, evts) {
  // if (events.length === amount) {
  //   events.next(function (err, nextEvts) {}); // just call next to retrieve the next page...
  // } else {
  //   // finished...
  // }
});

by revision

revMin, revMax always optional

var revMin = 5,
    revMax = 8; // if you omit revMax or you define it as -1 it will retrieve until the end

es.getEventsByRevision('streamId', revMin, revMax, function(err, evts) {});

// or

es.getEventsByRevision({
  aggregateId: 'myAggregateId',
  aggregate: 'person',          // optional
  context: 'hr'                 // optional
}, revMin, revMax, function(err, evts) {});

by commitStamp

skip, limit always optional

var skip = 0,
    limit = 100; // if you omit limit or you define it as -1 it will retrieve until the end

es.getEventsSince(new Date(2015, 5, 23), skip, limit, function(err, evts) {
  // if (events.length === amount) {
  //   events.next(function (err, nextEvts) {}); // just call next to retrieve the next page...
  // } else {
  //   // finished...
  // }
});

// or

es.getEventsSince(new Date(2015, 5, 23), limit, function(err, evts) {
  // if (events.length === amount) {
  //   events.next(function (err, nextEvts) {}); // just call next to retrieve the next page...
  // } else {
  //   // finished...
  // }
});

// or

es.getEventsSince(new Date(2015, 5, 23), function(err, evts) {
  // if (events.length === amount) {
  //   events.next(function (err, nextEvts) {}); // just call next to retrieve the next page...
  // } else {
  //   // finished...
  // }
});

streaming your events

Some databases support streaming your events, the api is similar to the query one

skip, limit always optional

var skip = 0,
    limit = 100; // if you omit limit or you define it as -1 it will retrieve until the end

var stream = es.streamEvents(skip, limit);
// or
var stream = es.streamEvents('streamId', skip, limit);
// or by commitstamp
var stream = es.streamEventsSince(new Date(2015, 5, 23), skip, limit);
// or by revision
var stream = es.streamEventsByRevision({
  aggregateId: 'myAggregateId',
  aggregate: 'person',
  context: 'hr',
});

stream.on('data', function(e) {
  doSomethingWithEvent(e);
});

stream.on('end', function() {
  console.log('no more evets');
});

// or even better
stream.pipe(myWritableStream);

currently supported by:

  1. mongodb

get the last event

for example to obtain the last revision nr

es.getLastEvent('streamId', function(err, evt) {
});

// or

es.getLastEvent({ // free choice (all, only context, only aggregate, only aggregateId...)
  context: 'hr',
  aggregate: 'person',
  aggregateId: 'uuid'
} function(err, evt) {
});

obtain a new id

es.getNewId(function(err, newId) {
  if(err) {
    console.log('ohhh :-(');
    return;
  }

  console.log('the new id is: ' + newId);
});

position of event in store

some db implementations support writing the position of the event in the whole store additional to the streamRevision.

currently those implementations support this:

  1. inmemory ( by setting ```trackPosition`` option )
  2. mongodb ( by setting positionsCollectionName option)

special scaling handling with mongodb

Inserting multiple events (documents) in mongodb, is not atomic. For the eventstore tries to repair itself when calling getEventsByRevision. But if you want you can trigger this from outside:

es.store.getPendingTransactions(function(err, txs) {
  if(err) {
    console.log('ohhh :-(');
    return;
  }

  // txs is an array of objects like:
  // {
  //   _id: '/* the commitId of the committed event stream */',
  //   events: [ /* all events of the committed event stream */ ],
  //   aggregateId: 'aggregateId',
  //   aggregate: 'aggregate', // optional
  //   context: 'context'      // optional
  // }

  es.store.getLastEvent({
    aggregateId: txs[0].aggregateId,
    aggregate: txs[0].aggregate, // optional
    context: txs[0].context      // optional
  }, function (err, lastEvent) {
    if(err) {
      console.log('ohhh :-(');
      return;
    }

    es.store.repairFailedTransaction(lastEvent, function (err) {
      if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
      }

      console.log('everything is fine');
    });
  });
});

Catch before and after eventstore events

Optionally the eventstore can emit brefore and after events, to enable this feature set the emitStoreEvents to true.

var eventstore = require('eventstore');
var es = eventstore({
  emitStoreEvents: true,
});

own db implementation

You can use your own db implementation by extending this...

var Store = require('eventstore').Store,
    util = require('util'),
    _ = require('lodash');

function MyDB(options) {
  options = options || {};
  Store.call(this, options);
}

util.inherits(MyDB, Store);

_.extend(MyDB.prototype, {

  // ...

});

module.exports = MyDB;

and you can use it in this way

var es = require('eventstore')({
  type: MyDB
});
// es.init...
