hollywood-js

Hollywood

A TypeScript framework for building modular, scalable server applications using CQRS, Event Sourcing, and Domain-Driven Design.

Features

Installation

npm install hollywood-js

Quick Start

Basic Dependency Injection

import { ModuleContext, Kernel } from "hollywood-js";
import { inject } from "inversify";

class GreetingService {
  constructor(@inject('greeting.style') private readonly style: string) {}

  greet(): string {
    return this.style;
  }
}

const AppModule = new ModuleContext({
  services: [
    ['greetingService', { instance: GreetingService }]
  ]
});

const parameters = new Map([
  ['greeting.style', 'Hello, World!']
]);

const kernel = new Kernel('dev', true, parameters, AppModule);
kernel.container.get<GreetingService>('greetingService').greet(); // 'Hello, World!'

Module Composition

import { ModuleContext, Kernel } from "hollywood-js";
import { inject } from "inversify";

// Shared module
class Logger {
  log(msg: string): void {
    console.log(`[LOG] ${msg}`);
  }
}

const LoggerModule = new ModuleContext({
  services: [
    ['logger', { instance: Logger }]
  ]
});

// Feature module with dependency
class UserService {
  constructor(@inject('logger') private readonly logger: Logger) {}

  createUser(name: string): void {
    this.logger.log(`Creating user: ${name}`);
  }
}

const UserModule = new ModuleContext({
  services: [
    ['userService', { instance: UserService }]
  ],
  modules: [LoggerModule] // Import dependencies
});

const kernel = new Kernel('dev', true, new Map(), UserModule);
kernel.container.get<UserService>('userService').createUser('Alice');

Philosophy

• Bounded Context isolation — Modules enforce clear boundaries between domains
• Event-driven communication — Loose coupling through events, not direct calls
• Storage agnostic — DBAL abstractions let you swap implementations freely
• No logging, only errors — Libraries shouldn't log; they should throw meaningful errors
• Framework agnostic — Works with Express, Fastify, or any Node.js server (see /examples)
