event-sourcerer-client v0.1.1

event-sourcerer-client

Event Sourcing client

This client would be in charge of handling publishing of events to the event sourcing service.

The intent is for this client to be an abstraction over whatever protocol/transport/service we decide to use for event publishing and consumption.

Usage Example

• Require and Initialize

const Jackrabbit = require('jackrabbit');
const EventSourcerer = require('@pager/event-sourcerer-client');
const Client = EventSourcerer.Client;
const SingleKeyRabbitTransport = EventSourcerer.transports.SingleKeyRabbit;

const rabbit = Jackrabbit('amqp://localhost')
const transport = new SingleKeyRabbit(rabbit, { exchangeName: 'pager' })
const client = new Client(transport)

• Just use it to publish

const stream = 'chats'
const streamId = '123456'
const eventType = 'created'
const data = { 'name': 'my chat' }

client.publish(stream, streamId, eventType, data)

API Reference

SingleKeyRabbitTransport

This transport can be used to publish messages to a RabbitMQ instance, under a single key by stream. The key being events.{stream}.created.

SingleKeyRabbitTransport(rabbitConnection, options)

• rabbit - Configured connection to rabbit, as the one returned by @pager/jackrabbit or a compatible one.
• options - settings:
  • exchangeName - name of the RabbitMQ exchange. Required.
  • exchangeType - Type of exchange. Optional. Possible values: topic, default. Defaults to topic

MultiKeyRabbitTransport

This transport can be used to publish messages to a RabbitMQ instance, where every event is published to it's own key. The key being {stream}.{eventType}.

MultiKeyRabbitTransport(rabbitConnection, options)

• rabbit - Configured connection to rabbit, as the one returned by @pager/jackrabbit or a compatible one.
• options - settings:
  • exchangeName - name of the RabbitMQ exchange. Required.
  • exchangeType - Type of exchange. Optional. Possible values: topic, default. Defaults to topic
