Document-model NPM

Powerhouse Document Model

Getting started

Install the library:

NPM: npm install @acaldas/document-model-libs
Yarn: yarn add @acaldas/document-model-libs

Documentation

The full documentation for this package is available at: https://acaldas.github.io/document-model-libs/

There are two ways to interact with a document:

Functional:

import {
    actions,
    reducer,
    utils,
} from '@acaldas/document-model-libs/budget-statement';

let budgetStatement = utils.createDocument({
    name: 'March report',
    data: { month: '2023/01' },
});

budgetStatement = reducer(
    budgetStatement,
    actions.addAccount([{ address: 'eth:0x00' }])
);

Object oriented:

import { BudgetStatement } from '@acaldas/document-model-libs/budget-statement';

const budgetStatement = new BudgetStatement({
    name: 'march',
    data: { month: '2023/01' },
});
budgetStatement.addAccount([{ address: 'eth:0x00' }]);

Architecture

This implementation is inspired by the Flux architecture pattern. All state changes are performed by a reducer, which is a pure function that enforces state transitions:

const newState = reducer(state, action);

The business logic is implemented in pure functions, making it easy to test and integrate into different applications. The operations history is kept to allow reverting changes.

An action is a JSON object with the action name and payload:

{
    type: 'SET_NAME';
    input: {
        name: 'March report';
    }
}

To make it easier to create actions and avoid bugs, an action creator is provided for each action. This is a function that accepts the action input and returns the JSON structure. For the case above the action creator would be:

state = reducer(state, setName('March report'));

An Object-oriented version is also provided. A document can be instantiated and interacted in an imperative way:

const document = new Document();
document.setName('March report');

Base Document Model

All document models extend the Base Document model, which provides some common features. A document has the following structure:

{
    name: "SES 2023-01 expense report", // name of the document
    documentType: "powerhouse/budget-statement", // type of the document model
    revision: 4, // number of operations applied to the document
    created: "2023-02-05 12:15:01", // date of creation of the document
    lastModified: "2023-02-05 12:15:01", // date of the last modification
    data: {} // specific state of the document, to be implemented by document models
}

Base Document Actions

Document reducers are wrapped by the Base Document reducer, which is responsible for updating the document attributes described above and adds support for some base document features.

▸ For more information on Document actions, please refer to the complete documentation.

SET_NAME: Changes the name of the document

setName(name: string);

UNDO: Cancels the last X operations. Defaults to 1.

undo(count: number);

REDO: Cancels the last X UNDO operations. Defaults to 1.

redo(count: number);

PRUNE: Joins multiple operations into a single LOAD_STATE operation. Useful to keep operations history smaller. Operations to prune are selected by index, similar to the slice method in Arrays.

prune(start?: number, end?: number);

Budget Statement Model

A Budget statement follows the following data structure:

{
    name: "SES January 2023",
    documentType: "powerhouse/budget-statement",
    revision: 10,
    created: "2023-02-21 10:15:26",
    lastModified: "2023-02-21 13:12:49",
    data: {
