Cleanroom

Compose your business logic into commands that validate input.

Status

npm version Build Status

Installation

npm install cleanroom --save

Example

import Cleanroom from 'cleanroom';
 
class UserSignUp extends Cleanroom.Command {
  static schema = {
    properties: {
      email: { type: 'string', format: 'email' },
      name: { type: 'string' },
      newsletter_subscribe: { type: 'boolean' }
    },
    required: ['email', 'name'],
    additionalProperties: false,
  }
 
  static execute(inputs) {
    const user = new User(inputs);
 
    // Do something with the user like save to a database.
    // ...
 
    return user;
  }
}
 
Cleanroom.initCommand(UserSignUp);
 
// Sometime later in a file far, far away....
function signUpAction(inputs) {
  const outcome = UserSignUp.run(inputs)
 
  // Then check to see if it worked:
  if (outcome.success) {
    return { message: `Great success, ${outcome.result.name}!` };
  } else {
    return { errors: outcome.errors };
  }
}

Some things to note about the example:

  • Inputs are validated using a JSON Schema
  • We can guarentee inputs pass the schema before reaching the business logic
  • If additionalProperties is set to false, any additional properties will be removed.
  • This code is completely re-usable in other contexts

How do I call commands?

You have three choices. Given a command UserSignUp, you can do this:

const outcome = UserSignUp.run(inputs);
if (outcome.success) {
  console.log(outcome.result);
} else {
  console.error(outcome.errors);
}

Or, you can do this:

// returns the result of ::execute(), or throws ValidationError
try {
  const result = UserSignUp.runExplicitly(inputs);
  console.log(result);
} catch (e) {
  console.error(e);
}

Or, you can do this:

// returns a Promise with the result of ::execute() as the resolved value,
// or rejects with the validation errors.
UserSignUp.runPromise(inputs)
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

How do I define commands?

  1. Extend Cleanroom.Command:
class YourCommand extends Cleanroom.Command {
}
  1. Define your input schema:

Schemas are defined using the JSON Schema specification. See Understanding JSON Schema for basics on JSON Schema.

class YourCommand extends Cleanroom.Command {
  static schema = {
    properties: {
      name: { type: 'string', maxLength: 10 },
      state: { type: 'string', enum: ['AL', 'AK', 'AR', ...] },
      age: { type: 'integer' },
      isSpecial: { type: 'boolean', default: true },
      account: { type: 'object' },
      tags: { type: 'array', items: { type: 'string' } },
      prefs: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          smoking: { type: 'boolean' },
          view: { type: 'boolean' },
          additionalProperties: false
        }
      }
    },
    required: ['name', 'state', 'age', 'isSpecial', 'account'],
    additionalProperties: false
  }
}
  1. Define your execute function. It can return a value:
class YourCommand extends Cleanroom.Command {
  static schema = {
    // ...
  }
 
  static execute(inputs) {
    const record = doThing(inputs);
    // ...
    return record;
  }
}
  1. Initialize your command:
Cleanroom.initCommand(YourCommand);

What about validation errors?

Validations are handled by the ajv library by epoberezkin.

Please see the ajv documenation until an overview of validation errors is written.
