Tardis

Temporal property implementation for reading historized data.

Installation

npm install @georges-tech/tardis

Usage

You create a Tardis service through createHistoryService by providing an array of documents that must contain the following properties :

{
  effective_date: Date // Date at which the configuration starts to be valid
  known_at: Date // Date at which the new configuration has been created
}

You can add as much properties as you like, depending on your use case, that will be returned by services.

Documents may contain a computed end_date, being the next effective document date if it exists. Otherwise, it is undefined.

Example

import tardis from '@georges-tech/tardis';

const documents = [{
  effective_date: new Date('2020-01-01'),
  known_at: new Date('2020-05-01'),
  data: {
    value: 'old',
  }
}, {
  effective_date: new Date('2020-03-01'),
  known_at: new Date('2020-10-01'),
  data: {
    value: 'new',
  }
}]
const historyService = tardis.createHistoryService({ documents });

const januaryConfiguration = historyService.getConfigurationAtDate({ date: new Date('2020-01-03') });
// januaryConfiguration.data.value = 'old'
// januaryConfiguration.end_date = new Date('2020-03-01')

const mayConfiguration = historyService.getConfigurationAtDate({ date: new Date('2020-05-03') });
// mayConfiguration.data.value = 'new'
// mayConfiguration.end_date = undefined
