evented-command

Introduction

This project is inspirated by jamuhl.

Project goal is to provide a simple command/event handling for evented systems like cqrs.

Installation

$ npm install evented-command

Simple usage

// get the hub
var hub = require('evented-command').hub;

// initialize the hub by passing the function that gets the command id from the event
hub.init(
	function(evt) {
		return evt.commandId;
	}
);

// and the command
var Command = require('evented-command').Command;

Advanced usage with own instance

// get the hub
var hub = require('evented-command').hub.create();

// initialize the hub by passing the function that gets the command id from the event
hub.init(
	function(evt) {
		var idEndIndex = evt.id.indexOf('_event');
		var id = evt.id.substring(0, idEndIndex);
		return id;
	}
);

// and the command
var Command = require('evented-command').Command.create(hub);

Wire up commands and events

// pass in events from your bus
bus.on('events', function(data){
    hub.emit('events', data);

    // use it with wildcards for mulit callback
    // hub.emit('event:' + data.event, data);
});

// pass commands to bus
hub.on('commands', function(data) {
    bus.emit('commands', data);
});

Send commands

var cmd = new Command({
    command: 'changePerson',
    payload: {
        id: 8,
        name: 'my name'
    }
});

// emit it
cmd.emit();



// if you want to observe the command pass a callback
cmd.emit(function(evt) {
	
});


// if you want to observe the command that generates any events pass an object like this:
cmd.emit({

	event1: function(evt) {
		
	},

	event2: function(evt) {
		
	}
	
});
