TIDAL Event Producer

Description

This module is only intended for internal use at TIDAL, but feel free to look at the code.

Transportation layer (TL) - The part of event platform that is responsible for transporting events from the app to the backend.

The design uses a Job queue pattern for sending events, where each event is considered a job. As such, the design divides the functionality of sending an events into three major parts:

• Submitter - This logic is triggered by the sendEvent function. The responsibility of the submitter logic is to perform basic processing of the event and storing it in the Queue, gathering information about anything that causes the event not to end up in the queue.
• Queue - A data structure in persistent memory that contains events that are submitted, but not yet confirmed received by the TL Consumer.
• Scheduler - This logic is executed in a background process/thread owned by the EventProducer. The responsibility of this logic is to read events from the Queue, send them to the TL Consumer, and remove events from the Queue once confirmed received by the TL Consumer.

Performance

To keep the package from blocking the main thread we wrap it in a worker and use localforage with indexedDB as the driver.

Repo Setup

Run pnpm i in the event-producer root folder.

Running Tests

Unit Tests

pnpm test or pnpm test:ui

Demo

pnpm dev

How to use

import { init, sendEvent, bus } from '@tidal-music/event-producer';
import { credentialsProvider } from './credentialsProvider';


async function main() {
  /**
   * Bootstrap the event producer by calling the init function.
   * This will start the scheduler and restore any previously stored events.
   * Note must be called before dispatchEvent.
   */
  await init({
    appInfo: { appName: 'YourApp', appVersion: '1.2.3' },
    // Used to initialize the blockedConsentCategories property
    blockedConsentCategories: {
      NECESSARY: false,
      PERFORMANCE: false,
      TARGETING: true,
    },
    // An access token provider, from @tidal-music/auth.
    credentialsProvider,
    // platform details
    platform: {
      browserName: 'Ice Hippo',
      browserVersion: '1.2.3',
      deviceVendor: 'Binocular',
      model: 'shyPhone',
      osName: 'Hov OS',
      version: '1.2.3',
    },
    // Optional Debug for integration purposes. Checks if consentCategory is missing.
    strictMode: false,
    // URI identifying the TL Consumer ingest endpoint.
    tlConsumerUri: '/api/event-batch',
    // URI for unauthorized event batches.
    tlPublicConsumerUri: '/api/public/event-batch',
  });

  // Now we can send events
  sendEvent({
    consentCategory: 'PERFORMANCE',
    name: 'listened_to_track',
    payload: {
      certifiedBanger: true,
    }
  })

  bus(()=>{
      console.log('Event producer outage state changed', )
  })
}
