MicroPlumberd.DirectConnect 1.0.8.32

micro-plumberd

Micro library for EventStore, CQRS and EventSourcing Just eXtreamly simple.

Documentation can be found here: MicroPlumberd Documentation

Getting started

Install nugets:

dotnet add package MicroPlumberd
dotnet add package MicroPlumberd.SourceGeneratiors

If you'd like to use direct dotnet-dotnet communication to execute command-handlers install MicroPlumberd.DirectConnect

dotnet add package MicroPlumberd.DirectConnect

Configure plumber

/// change to your connection-string.
string connectionString = $"esdb://admin:changeit@localhost:2113?tls=false&tlsVerifyCert=false";
var settings = EventStoreClientSettings.Create(connectionString);
var plumber = Plumber.Create(settings);

Aggregates

1. Write an aggregate.

[Aggregate]
public partial class FooAggregate(Guid id) : AggregateBase<FooAggregate.FooState>(id)
{
 internal new FooState State => base.State;
 public record FooState { public string Name { get; set; } };
 private static FooState Given(FooState state, FooCreated ev) => state with { Name = ev.Name };
 private static FooState Given(FooState state, FooUpdated ev) => state with { Name =ev.Name };
 public void Open(string msg) => AppendPendingChange(new FooCreated() { Name = msg });
 public void Change(string msg) => AppendPendingChange(new FooUpdated() { Name = msg });
}

Comments:

• State is encapsulated in nested class FooState.
• Given methods, that are used when loading aggregate from the EventStoreDB are private and static. State is encouraged to be immutable.
• [Aggregate] attribute is used by SourceGenerator that will generate dispatching code and handy metadata.

2. Consume an aggregate.

If you want to create a new aggregate and save it to EventStoreDB:

FooAggregate aggregate = FooAggregate.New(Guid.NewGuid());
aggregate.Open("Hello");

await plumber.SaveNew(aggregate);

If you want to load aggregate from EventStoreDB, change it and save back to EventStoreDB

var aggregate = await plumber.Get<FooAggregate>("YOUR_ID");
aggregate.Change("World");
await plumber.SaveChanges(aggregate);

Write a read-model/processor

1. Read-Models

[EventHandler]
public partial class FooModel
{
 private async Task Given(Metadata m, FooCreated ev)
 {
 // your code
 }
 private async Task Given(Metadata m, FooUpdated ev)
 {
 // your code
 }
}

Comments:

• ReadModels have private async Given methods. Since they are async, you can invoke SQL here, or othere APIs to store your model.
• Metadata contains standard stuff (Created, CorrelationId, CausationId), but can be reconfigured.

var fooModel = new FooModel();
var sub= await plumber.SubscribeModel(fooModel);

// or if you want to persist progress of your subscription
var sub2= await plumber.SubscribeModelPersistently(fooModel);

With SubscribeModel you can subscribe from start, from certain moment or from the end of the stream.

2. Processors

[EventHandler]
public partial class FooProcessor(IPlumber plumber)
{
 private async Task Given(Metadata m, FooUpdated ev)
 {
 var agg = FooAggregate.New(Guid.NewGuid());
 agg.Open(ev.Name + " new");
 await plumber.SaveNew(agg);
 }
}

Implementing a processor is technically the same as implementing a read-model, but inside the Given method you would typically invoke a command or execute an aggregate.

Features

Conventions

• SteamNameConvention - from aggregate type, and aggregate id
• EventNameConvention - from aggregate? instance and event instance
• MetadataConvention - to enrich event with metadata based on aggregate instance and event instance
• EventIdConvention - from aggregate instance and event instance
• OutputStreamModelConvention - for output stream name from model-type
• GroupNameModelConvention - for group name from model-type

Ultra development cycle for Read-Models (EF example).

Imagine this:

1. You create a read-model that subscribes persistently.
2. You subscribe it with plumber.
3. You changed something in the event and want to see the new model.
4. Instead of re-creating old read-model, you can easily create new one. Just change MODEL_VER to reflect new version.

Please note that Sql schema create/drop auto-generation script will be covered in a different article. (For now we leave it for developers.)

Comments:

• By creating a new read-model you can always compare the differences with the previous one.
• You can leverage canary-deployment strategy and have 2 versions of your system running in parallel.

[OutputStream(FooModel.MODEL_NAME)]
[EventHandler]
public partial class FooModel : DbContext
{
 internal const string MODEL_VER = "_v1";
 internal const string MODEL_NAME = $"FooModel{MODEL_VER}";
 protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
 {
 modelBuilder
 .Entity<FooEntity>()
 .ToTable($"FooEntities{MODEL_VER}");
 }
 private async Task Given(Metadata m, FooCreated ev)
 {
 // your code
 }
 private async Task Given(Metadata m, FooUpdated ev)
 {
 // your code
 }
}

Subscription Sets - Models ultra-composition

• You can easily create a stream that joins events together by event-type, and subscribe many read-models at once. Here it is named 'MasterStream', which is created out of events used to create DimentionLookupModel and MasterModel.
• In this way, you can easily manage the composition and decoupling of read-models. You can nicely composite your read-models. And if you don't wish to decouple read-models, you can reuse your existing one.

/// Given simple models, where master-model has foreign-key used to obtain value from dimentionLookupModel

var dimentionTable = new DimentionLookupModel();
var factTable = new MasterModel(dimentionTable);

await plumber.SubscribeSet()
 .With(dimentionTable)
 .With(factTable)
 .SubscribeAsync("MasterStream", FromStream.Start);

GRPC Direct communication

/// Let's configure server:
services.AddCommandHandler<FooCommandHandler>().AddServerDirectConnect();

/// Add mapping to direct-connect service
app.MapDirectConnect();

Here is an example of a command handler code:

[CommandHandler]
public partial class FooCommandHandler(IPlumber plumber)
{

 [ThrowsFaultException<BusinessFault>]
 public async Task Handle(Guid id, CreateFoo cmd)
 {
 if (cmd.Name == "error")
 throw new BusinessFaultException("Foo");

 var agg = FooAggregate.New(id);
 agg.Open(cmd.Name);

 await plumber.SaveNew(agg);
 }

 [ThrowsFaultException<BusinessFault>]
 public async Task<HandlerOperationStatus> Handle(Guid id, ChangeFoo cmd)
 {
 if (cmd.Name == "error")
 throw new BusinessFaultException("Foo");

 var agg = await plumber.Get<FooAggregate>(id);
 agg.Change(cmd.Name);

 await plumber.SaveChanges(agg);
 return HandlerOperationStatus.Ok();
 }
}

And how on the client side:

service.AddClientDirectConnect().AddCommandInvokers();

// And invocation
 var clientPool = sp.GetRequiredService<IRequestInvokerPool>();
 var invoker = clientPool.Get("YOUR_GRPC_URL");
 await invoker.Execute(Guid.NewId(), new CreateFoo(){});

Aspects

You can easily inject aspects through decorator pattern.
