I’ve been dealing with CQRS, event-sourcing and DDD long enough now that I don’t need working with it anymore unfortunately, so at least for now this my formal farewell!
I want to thank everyone who has contributed in one way or another. Especially...
- Jan, who introduced me to this topic.
- Dimitar, one of the last bigger contributors and maintainer.
- My last employer, who gave me the possibility to use all these CQRS modules in a big Cloud-System.
- My family and friends, who very often came up short.
Finally, I would like to thank Golo Roden, who was there very early at the beginning of my CQRS/ES/DDD journey and is now here again to take over these modules.
Golo Roden is the founder, CTO and managing director of the native web, a company specializing in native web technologies. Among other things, he also teaches CQRS/ES/DDD etc. and based on his vast knowledge, he brought wolkenkit to life. wolkenkit is a CQRS and event-sourcing framework based on Node.js. It empowers you to build and run scalable distributed web and cloud services that process and store streams of domain events.
With this step, I can focus more on i18next, locize and localistars. I'm happy about that. 😊
So, there is no end, but the start of a new phase for my CQRS modules. 😉
I wish you all good luck on your journey.
Who knows, maybe we'll meet again in a github issue or PR at i18next 😉
Node-cqrs-eventdenormalizer is a node.js module that implements the cqrs pattern. It can be very useful as eventdenormalizer component if you work with (d)ddd, cqrs, domain, host, etc.

denormalizer.onEventMissing(function (info, evt) {

You can skip onEventMissing from being called, by adding the `skipOnEventMissing` option to the denormalizer. Checkout the usage section more information.

You can skip all event extenders and the default extensions from being executed by adding the option `skipExtendEvent` to the denormalizer. Checkout the usage section for more information.
The built-in structure loader can be replaced with one adapted to your needs. To do that, you need to include a loading method in the options object passed to the domain constructor.
// options will contain denormalizerPath as well as the as well as a definition object containing all the constructors of the denormalizer components ( Collection, ViewBuilder etc. )
function structureLoader(options) {
const collection = new options.definitions.Collection({
name: 'col'
});
collection.addViewBuilder(new options.definitions.ViewBuilder({
name: 'evt',
aggregate: 'agg',
context: 'ctx'
}, function() {}));
return {
collections: [
collection
]
};
// or more probably
return myExternalLoader(options.denormalizerPath, options.definitions);
}
require('cqrs-eventdenormalizer')({
denormalizerPath: '/path/to/my/files',
structureLoader: structureLoader
});
denormalizer.init(function (err, warnings) {
// this callback is called when all is ready...
// warnings: if no warnings warnings is null, else it's an array containing errors during require of files
});

denormalizer.init(); // callback is optional

If you need an information from an other collection while denormalizing an event, you can require such a collection and make some lookups. for example
col.findViewModels({ my: 'value' }, function (err, vms) {});
or
col.loadViewModel('id', function (err, vm) {});
or
col.loadViewModelIfExists('id', function (err, vm) {});
But be careful with this!
Each viewBuilder is dedicated to a specific event. It reacts on an event and denormalizes that event in an appropriate collection.
Viewbuilders are structured by collection (not by context).
module.exports = require('cqrs-eventdenormalizer').defineViewBuilder({
// optional, default is file name without extension,
// if name is '' it will handle all events that matches
name: 'enteredNewPerson',
// optional
aggregate: 'person',
// optional
context: 'hr',
// optional, default is 0
version: 2,
// optional, if not defined or not found it will generate a new viewmodel with new id
id: 'aggregate.id',
// optional, suppresses auto-creation of new view model if none matching the id can be found, default is true
autoCreate: true,
// optional, if not defined it will pass the whole event...
payload: 'payload',
// optional, default Infinity, all view-builders will be sorted by this value
priority: 1
}, function (data, vm) { // instead of function you can define
// a string with default handling ('create', 'update', 'delete')
// or function that expects a callback (i.e. function (data, vm, callback) {})
// if you have multiple concurrent events that targets the same vm, you can catch it like this:
// during a replay the denormalization finishes and the retry does not happen
if (vm.actionOnCommit === 'create') {
return this.retry(); // hint: do not use arrow function in this scope when using this.retry()
// or
//return this.retry(100); // retries to denormalize again in 0-100ms
// or
//return this.retry({ from: 500, to: 8000 }); // retries to denormalize again in 500-8000ms
}
vm.set('firstname', data.firstname);
vm.set('lastname', data.lastname);
});
Be careful with the query!
A lot of viewmodels can slow down the denormalization process!
module.exports = require('cqrs-eventdenormalizer').defineViewBuilder({
// optional, default is file name without extension,
// if name is '' it will handle all events that matches

Replay whenever you want...
denormalizer.replay([/* ordered array of events */], function (err) {
if (err) { console.log(err); }
});
or when catching some events:
denormalizer.onEventMissing(function (info, evt) {
// grab the missing events, depending from info values...
// info.aggregateId
// info.aggregateRevision
// info.aggregate
// info.context
// info.guardRevision
// and call handle...
denormalizer.handle(missingEvent, function (err) {
if (err) { console.log(err); }
});
});
you can skip onEventMissing from being called, if provided, by adding the option `skipOnEventMissing` to the denormalizer. Checkout the usage section for more information.
or depending on the last guarded event:
denormalizer.getLastEvent(function (err, evt) {
if (event.occurredAt < Date.now()) {
// ...
}
});
denormalizer.replayStreamed(function (replay, done) {
replay(evt1);
replay(evt2);
replay(evt3);
done(function (err) {
if (err) { console.log(err); }
});
});
denormalizer.clear(function (err) {
});
Importing ES6 style default exports is supported for all definitions where you also use module.exports:
module.exports = defineCollection({...});
works as well as
exports.default = defineCollection({...});
as well as (must be transpiled by babel or tsc to be runnable in node)
export default defineCollection({...});
Also:
exports.default = defineViewBuilder({...});
exports.default = defineEventExtender({...});
// etc...
Exports other than the default export are then ignored by this package's structure loader.
