js-standard-style

========

harcon is a microservice solution for NodeJS/Browser giving superior abstraction layer for interoperability between entities in a highly structured and fragmented ecosystem. It allows you to design and implement complex workflows and microservices where context and causality of messages are important.

The library has a stunning feature list beyond basic messaging functionality.

  • Channel-agnostic: harcon represents a very abstract messaging framework allowing you to use any underlaying technology your application requires: AMQP, MQTT, NSQ, etc... For amqp integration, please check this: harcon-amqp For mqtt integration, please check this: harcon-mqtt For nsq integration, please check this: harcon-nsq

  • Tracking: you can monitor every message delivered (request or response) by only few lines of code

  • Flow control / Reproducibility: A flow of communication / messages can be halted / continued / reinitiated anytime with no effort

  • Free orchestration: your system can be orchestrated and distributed as you wish, message delivery is not limited to nodes or hosts

  • Short learning curve: no need to learn hundred of pages, communication has to be simple after all

  • Log-free coding: no more mixture of logging and business logic. Harcon logs all messages exchanged.

  • Transparent: although harcon introduces lots of complex types and structures, your code and callbacks will be kept clean and pure, everything is (un)packed in the background in a transparent way

  • Smooth infiltration: your objects / functions will possess the necessary services via injection, no need to create complex structures and compounds

  • Advanced routing & listening: system fragmentation, qualified names, regular expressions, wildcards, etc.

!Note: Harcon's concept is to introduce a clean and high abstraction layer over messaging between entities. Like in case of every abstraction tool, for webapps which are simple as 1, it can be proven as a liability.

This library starts to shine in a highly structured and distributed environment.

Installation

$ npm install harcon

Quick setup

var Harcon = require('harcon')
var harcon = new Harcon( )

// define a listener function listening every message related to "greet" like "greet.goodmorning" or "greet.goodday"
harcon.addict( null, 'peter', 'greet.*', function (greetings1, greetings2, callback) {
	callback(null, 'Hi there!')
} )

// define an plain object serving as listener withing the context "greet" to messages "warm"
marie = {
	name: 'marie',
	context: 'greet',
	warm: function (greetings1, greetings2, callback) {
		callback( null, 'Bonjour!' )
	}
}
harcon.addicts( marie )

// sends a communication 'greet.everyone' with parameters and defines a callback to handle responses
// will receive back 2 answers: 'Hi there!' and 'Bonjour!'
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'greet.everyone', 'Whatsup?', 'How do you do?', function (err, res) {
	console.log( err, res )
} )

Workflows

In an enterprise-level system, one has to realize complex communication structure where lots of entities are following business logic and rules, involving subsystems and external resources, policies and other considerations, in short form: workflows. I take the liberty to define the workflow now as well defined routes and causality of messages. In a workflow, you are not dependent on the response timeframe, workflows manage distance in time and space. The recipient of a message can be on another server or city or planet. Recipient can answer right away or tomorrow or never.

In the JS world, one should mind the introduction of microservices to start with right in the beginning. Just take the advantage of better orchestration, simpler development and debugging, easier deployment, scaling and monitoring.

harcon is "just" a low-level library to leverage such concept. In a simple way, you define entities and the communications among them then publish them.

Entities

In harcon, the communication unit is simply called entity. One can define 2 type of entities:

  • simple function: when you associate a function with an event-pattern. Recommended to be used as observer, job-like, surveillance-, or interface-related asset.
// Qualified name - will answer to only this message
harcon.addict( null, 'hugh', 'allocate.ip', function (callback) {
	callback(null, 'Done.')
} )
// Wildcards - will answer anything within the context greet
harcon.addict( null, 'peter', 'greet.*', function (callback) {
	callback(null, 'Done.')
} )
// Regular expression - will answer anything where message name start with string 'job'
harcon.addict( null, 'john', /job.*/, function ( partner, callback) {
	callback(null, 'Done.')
} )
...
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'job.order', {name: 'Stephen', customerID:123}, function (err, res) {
	console.log( 'Finished.', err, res )
} )
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'john.job', {name: 'Stephen', customerID:123}, function (err, res) {
	console.log( 'Finished.', err, res )
} )
  • objects: plain object enclosing functions and a unique name. This is the recommended way to define entities.
var bookKeeper = {
	name: 'BookKeeper',
	...
	newOrder: function ( customer, callback ) {
		callback( null, 'Done.' )
	},
	ordersOfToday: function ( callback ) {
		callback( null, [] )
	}
}
...
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'BookKeeper.newOrder', {name: 'Stephen', customerID:123}, function (err, res) {
	console.log( 'Finished', err, res )
} )
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'BookKeeper.ordersOfToday', function (err, res) {
	console.log( 'Finished.', err, res )
} )

The simplest but not the only way to address is to quality entities with their names.

Responses

By default, harcon returns and array of response objects returned by the entities addressed by a message sent.

Let's have 2 simple entities:

harcon.addict( null, 'peter', 'greet.*', function (callback) {
	callback(null, 'Hi.')
} )
harcon.addict( null, 'camille', 'greet.*', function (callback) {
	callback(null, 'Hello.')
} )

harcon.simpleIgnite( 'greet.simple', function (err, res) {
	console.error( err, res )
} )

Returns with the following:

[ 'Hi.', 'Hello.' ]

(Note: for consistency reason, you got an array even if one entity has been addressed.)

In some cases, you might find useful to know which answer comes from which entity. If you add a single parameter to the harcon:

var harcon = new Harcon( { namedResponses: true } )

The returned object will look like this:

{ peter: 'Hi.', camille: 'Hello.' }
Error responses

Your callback might receive an error object in unwanted situations. The default transport channel of harcon will stop the message processing at the first error occurring as follows:

harcon.addict( null, 'peter', 'greet.*', function (callback) {
	callback( new Error('Stay away, please.') )
} )
harcon.addict( null, 'camille', 'greet.*', function (callback) {
	callback( new Error('Do not bother me.') )
} )

harcon.simpleIgnite( 'greet.simple', function (err, res) {
	console.error( err, res )
} )

will result the following on your console:

[Error: Stay away, please.] null

The default transport layer is designed for development purposes only. In an EE, environment, please mind the introduction of a message queue solution like: AMQP, MQTT or NSQ using official plugins: harcon-amqp, harcon-mqtt and harcon-nsq accordingly.

By using a real transport layer, all occurred error messages will be delegated. In such cases, harcon will retrieve an Error object encapsulating all error object received from entities.

Orchestration

You have seen how to call service functions using qualified names and regular expressions (function-based entity). If a much structured system must be orchestrated, a set of finer toolset is at you disposal: contexts and divisions, representing different abstraction levels.

Context: is a named set of object-based entities and contexts. a qualified name identifying the field/purpose the entity is operating. To refine the structure of your service. For example you can have multiple entities providing service like parse but in different context like: "xml" or "json". You can structure your entities like the following:

var parser = {
	name: 'JSONParser',
	context: 'transfer.json',
	parse: function ( document, callback ) {
		callback( null, 'Done.' )
	}
}
var observer = {
	name: 'XMLParser',
	context: 'transfer.xml',
	parse: function ( document, callback ) {
		callback( null, null )
	}
}

In this case, such messages can be sent:

harcon.simpleIgnite( 'transfer.json.parse', function (err, res) { ... } )
or
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'transfer.xml.parse', function (err, res) { ... } )
or
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'transfer.'+document.type+'.parse', function (err, res) { ... } )

addressing directly to one of those entities, depending the type of the document you want to parse. Let's define the following entity:

var observer = {
	name: 'Observer',
	context: 'transfer',
	parse: function ( document, callback ) {
		callback( null, null )
	}
}

Such entity will also receive those message and might do logging or measuring or perform preliminary actions. In short form: you can address multiple entities with a single message. The matching algorithm is simple: spliting the title by '.' matching with the context you specify and fails only if the compared strings are not equals. This means, that:

The title 'transfer.xml.parse' will target the XMLParser and Observer entities.

and

The title 'transfer.parse' will target the XMLParser, JSONParser and Observer entities.

Contexts are very good way to refine your structures and entities and express overlapping functional behaviors.

Division: divisions is a different angle on the plane of orchestration. A division is a closed "box" of entities, meaning that an entity can operate only within the division it is a member of. In fact, every entity belongs to a division defined explicitly or implicitly by the harcon. Divisions can be encapsulated, so a complete division-tree can be built-up in a harcon application. The reason why divisions are important, because it represents a responsibility and/or legal unit. Entities within it (in normal cases) cannot see outside and an entity published to a container division can answer to messages initiated by an entity somewhere lower in the tree. This gives you a control to define surveillance-like or control-like features and much higher complexity of communication-management.

Please find the Divisions chapter for details.

Note: contexts and divisions are not mandatory to be used. The complexity will tell you how to orchestrate your app. It might happen, that simple function-based named entities are fitting your need. Feel free to act on your own, there is no pattern to follow.

Chain messages

If you work with workflows, the sequence/order of your messages will get an importance. To chain messages, define the next point in the workflow you have to add another parameter to your service function:

var order = {
	name: 'Order',
	context: 'order',
	newVPN: function ( customer, ignite, callback ) {
		ignite( 'allocate.address', '127.0.0.1', function (err, res) {
			callback(err, res)
		} )
	}
}
...
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'order.newVPN', {name: 'Stephen', customerID:123}, function (err, res) {
	console.log( 'Finished', err, res )
} )

That will initiate a small workflow. harcon.simpleIgnite sends a message to entity Order who will send within the same workflow to the Allocator. When it answeres, then the message of the beginning will be answered. harcon will know if you initiate a message within the processing of another one and considers it as part of the ongoing workflow and tracks it. Mind the async execution to keep everything in track!

Call back or not?

You are not forced to always expect answer, in some cases a quite entity is desired. If you do not pass a callback when a communication is initiated, harcon will consider it as a one-ways message sending.

// Qualified name - will answer to only this message
harcon.addict( null, 'karl', 'reserve.address', function ( address, callback ) {
	// Do something...
	callback(null, 'Done.')
} )
...
harcon.simpleIgnite( 'reserve.address', '127.0.0.1' )

Harcon will know, that sender does not expect any answer at all. But, considering that harcon is designed for highly structured and fragmented context, receiver entities always MUST have a callback, to let harcon know about the termination of the given operation for operational prudence!

Entity initialization

The need to pass contextual parameters to entities might rise. The options object passed to the constructure of Harcon allows you to specify parameters for entities which will be passed while the init method defined in the entity is called.

harcon = new Harcon( { /* ... */ marie: {greetings: 'Hi!'} } )
var marie = {
	name: 'marie',
	context: 'test',
	init: function (options) {
		// {greetings: 'Hi!'} will be passed
	}
	// services ...
}
Distinguishing entities

There is an option for an object-based entity to enforce uniqueness:

module.exports = {
	name: 'Charlotte',
	distinguish: 'Unique',
	access: function ( callback ) {
		callback( null, 'D\'accord?')
	}
}

The attribute 'distinguish' can be a boolean or a string which will be added to its name as a postfix. In case of boolean value, a random value will be generated.

The entity can be called with 'Charlotte-Unique.access' or 'Charlotte-1231441123.access' where '1231441123' is the random string generated by the harcon.

This feature is useful in a largely scaled environment, where a given entity might appear in multiple instances and distinguishing them is a must-have behavior.

The entity will be still available with its own name: 'Charlotte'. You can consider it as a synonym or alternative name.

Logging

When you create the Harcon instance, you can pass a logger object which will be respected and used to do loggings. If not set, harcon will log everything to the console. So in production, setting up a logging facility ( like winston or bunyan ) is strongly adviced.

harcon = new Harcon( { logger: logger /* ... */ } )

That logger instance will be used as logging facility all over the system, including internal services and entities. Each entity receives a function: harconlog with the signature:

function( err, message, obj, level ) { ... }

That function can be used anything within your entity object:

var Marie = {
	name: 'Marie',
	context: 'greet',
	whiny: function (greetings, callback) {
		this.harconlog( null, 'Some logging', { data: greetings }, 'silly' )
		callback( null, 'Pas du tout!' )
	}
}

That function should be used for any logging activity you need during the flow of your app.

Important: Harcon logs all incoming and outgoing messages at the level 'igniteLevel' set in the configuration file making every-day logging activities unnecessary. You might want to change the default level of this behaviour in order to refine your logging strategy.

harcon = new Harcon( { igniteLevel: 'info' /* ... */ } )

An entity might exclude itself from the logging process by possessing the attribute "concealed":

var Marie = {
	name: 'Marie',
	concealed: true,
	...
}

That will turn off the logging of all messages sent or received by the entity 'Marie'.

Another option is to set the the list of entities unlogged.

harcon = new Harcon( { seals: [ 'Marie' ] /* ... */ } )

That will turn off the logging of all messages sent to Marie. So no answers received by other entities from Marie will be logged.

Unique messages

Every communication exchanged possesses the following properties (not exclusively):

  • unique ID
  • reference to the parent message if exists
  • uniqued ID of the workflow itself
  • external ID of the workflow started by an external communication involving a reference number to consider
  • timestamp

Any time you sends a message or receives an answer, such objects are bypassing through the harcon system which logs and tracks all of them.

By default, harcon uses 32 as length of the IDs which are unique over time and among computer nodes. You can override this default when initiating Harcon

harcon = new Harcon( { /* ... */ idLength: 32 } )

Message exchange

When you defined your components, the need to send and receive messages arises. In a workflow, your component might initiate a message, response one or while responding one sends other ones. The function-based components can perform only the latter 2 cases, cannot initiate anything by its own. This type of components are present to define services, listeners, definitely not serious business entities. As you saw above, the serices functions might possess a parameter before the callback: ignite

var order = {
	name: 'Order',
	context: 'order',
	newVPN: function ( customer, ignite, callback ) {
		ignite( 'allocate.address', '127.0.0.1', function (err, res) {
			callback(err, res)
		} )
	}
}

That ignite can be used to chain messages, which means to send messages during the processing of a received one. The tool to initiate sub-workflows.

Of course components are not just reacting entities, they might launch new workflows as well. Object-based components possesses an injected function: ignite and can be used as follows:

var timer = {
	name: 'Timer',
	scheduling: function ( ) {
		this.ignite( 'validate.accounts', function (err, res) {
		} )
	}
}

That ignite function is injected by the harcon when you publish the components.

The terms object

In a workflow, a contextual object is much desired to set the context where business entities are participating and share some environmental state or values. If you implement a financial transaction management system, currencies should be added to the terms object making the information accessible to all entities interoperating within the workflow.

Should you define your business functions as below, the terms will be passed and managed by harcon

module.exports = {
	name: 'Claire',
	init: function (options, callback) {
		callback()
	},
	simple: function (greetings1, greetings2, terms, ignite, callback) {
		callback( null, 'Pas du tout!' )
	}
}

Along the parameters you need for your business logic, and the ignite function and callback object introduced earlier, the terms can be added to the parameter list in the right order shown above.

module.exports = {
	name: 'Domina',
	force: function ( terms, ignite, callback ) {
		var self = this
		terms.tree = 'grow'
		ignite( 'Claire.simple', 'It is morning!', 'Time to wake up!', callback )
	}
}

The 'tree' attribute set by entity 'Domina' will be seen by the entity 'Claire' when it receives the message.

Divisions

When you orchastrate your system as a microservice architure over a clustered message bus for example, the individual microservicSystems can be orchastrated into divisions which is a tree structure actually. One can create divisions following the control-flow or responsibility-chain of the application. Every component you deploy will belong to a division. If not declared, then to the system division where all system-level components are put. Divisions is not just a logical grouping of components, but also an encapsulation-model. A component cannot send messages outside the own division but can send to the inner ones. This means, that system components can send to any component, but non-system components cannot reach the level of the main system or other branches of the division-tree.

Divisions give you a very easy-to-use structure to orchestrate your system. Of course, you can use the harcon without using divisions, the complexity of your system will show if you needed it or not.

Let's define components and add them to divisions:

// This will add John to the division 'workers'
harcon.addict( 'workers', 'john', /job.*/, function (callback) {
	callback(null, 'Done.')
} )
// This will add Claire to the division 'entrance'
var claire = {
	name: 'claire',
	division: 'entrance',
	context: 'greet',
	simple: function (greetings1, greetings2, callback) {
		callback(null, 'Enchanté, mon plaisir!')
	}
}

Components in a division can be called to:

harcon.ignite( null, 'entrance', 'greet.simple', 'Hi', 'Ca vas?', function (err, res) {
} )

Note: please keep in mind, that harcon.ignite can be and should be used only when you initiate a workflow from outside the harcon!

If you initiate a communication through the harcon instance, it means, that you wants to drop in a message "from outside" which could mean an integration with an external system or just kick off a workflow. There are 2 methods to be called:

ignite and simpleIgnite

The different between them is the parameter list. The later does not require to specify external messageId or division, the prior one does as you can see in the example just above.

External ID is very useful, when the workflow is initiated by some external event possessing an id which must be kept for further logging or tracking or just because a communication harmonization across the complete company.

By default, harcon presumes to have one division per node following the concept of microservices. That division name can be given via its config object or will be derived from its unique name. The created division will serve as the root for every divisions and entities defined.

harcon = new Harcon( { division: 'District 8', ... } )

Entity configuration

Entities can be configured easily. The init method of an entity if present, will be called at the end of its publishing process withing the harcon. The function can be used to set up DB connections or anything required for your entities.

module.exports = {
	name: 'Claire',
	context: 'greet',
	init: function (options, callback) {
		console.log('Init...', options)
		callback()
	}
}

The method receives a configuration object and a callback to be called when the init method finishes. That configuration object can be passed when an entity is published:

harcon.addicts( Claire, config )

or even before, when harcon is created.

harcon = new Harcon( { logger: logger, idLength: 32, Claire: {greetings: 'Hi!'} } )

An entity's configuration is an merged object made from the followings (in order):

  • the millieu object in the configuration of harcon
  • object in harcon configuration associated through the name of the entity
  • the direct configuration passed to the function addicts

Should you use none of them, and your entity shall be initiated with empty object.

Timeout management

harcon has an internal handler - which is off by default - to deal with messages not answered within a reasonable timeframe.

harcon = new Harcon( { ..., blower: { commTimeout: 2000 } } )

This configuration will tell your running harcon instance to check if the messages sent to some entities have been answered within 2000 millisecs. If not, an error will be sent to the sender with the message: 'Communication has not been received answer withing the given timeframe.'

The nature of your app might urge you to distinguish time management following some business logic. For example: operations involving third party APIs have to be performed with a wider or without time limitation. harcon supports such logic in many ways:

harcon = new Harcon( { ..., blower: { commTimeout: 2000, tolerates: [ 'Alizee.superFlegme' ] } } )

The field 'tolerates' defines the list of conditions turning off the global timeout management. It is an array with possible values of types: String, Regexp and Function.

  • Strings will be matched to the address of the message
  • Regexp will be matched to the address of the message
  • Function will be called by passing the ongoing communication object and the return value will determine if timeout management should be applied.

In harcon, event the attribute 'commTimeout' can be a function to define custom timeouts to different communication.

!Note: Please, keep it mind, that harcon is transport layer agnostic, so a preferred message broker can also provide some security over interaction.

Extension

harcon can be easily extended by using pure harcon components listening to system events:

var extension = {
	name: 'As you design it',
	context: harcon.name,
	castOf: function ( name, firestarter ) {
	},
	affiliate: function ( firestarter ) {
	},
	close: function () {
	}
}
harcon.addicts( extension )

In the current version, the harcon instance you are using will send to your components events about system closing, entity publishing and revoking. For a working example, please check harcon-radiation.

Promises

To think in terms of the current trends in the JS-world, the services of harcon might give you back a promise of no callback is provided as last parameter.

harcon.ignite( '0', 'Inflicter.click', 'greet.simple', 'Hi', 'Ca vas?' )
.then( function ( res ) {
})
.catch( function ( reason ) {
} )

Millieu

There is a "shared" environmental object added to all entities deployed within harcon:

harcon = new Harcon( { millieu: { workDir: '/temp' } } )

That object will be inserted into the initial configuration of all Entities published:

var Marie = {
	name: 'Marie',
	init: function (options) {
		// options = { workDir: '/temp' }
		self.options = options
	}
}

In any service of entity 'Marie', the 'self.options.workDir' will be a valid object.

State shifting

There is a reverse-directed-like feature in harcon, allowing an entity to shift "internal state" and let other entities to know about it. Let's say, entities of a system want to know when the DB component becomes "available", or when a third party connector entity becomes "connected".

To build such constellation between entities, is pretty straightforward:

module.exports = {
	name: 'Lina',
	...
	registerForShift: function () {
		self.ignite('Marie.notify', 'data', 'Lina.marieChanged', function (err) { if (err) { self.harconlog(err) } } )
	}, ...
	marieChanged: function ( payload, callback ) {
		console.log( '>>>>>>>>>>>', payload )
		callback( null, 'OK' )
	}
}

In function 'registerForShift' 'Lina' tells 'Marie' to notify her if the state 'data' is changing. The function to be called is 'marieChanged'. The new value of the given state should be passed. State is a string. It does not need to be represented as attribute or whatever, just a pure string - object pair.

How Marie can "shift" state:

module.exports = {
	name: 'Marie',
	simple: function (greetings1, greetings2, callback) {
		this.shifted( { data: 'content' } )
		callback(null, 'Bonjour!')
	}
}

Anytime Marie calls its internal 'shifted' function, it triggers the harcon's state changing service. You have to pass an object possessing all properties considered to be "states". So an object might shift multiple states at once if needed. The values of the attributes are the payload to send to the listener entities. That this.shifted( { data: 'content' } ) line will initiate an internal communication with the addressing 'Lina.marieChanged' as Lina specified. And the function 'marieChanged' of Lina will be called with the string 'content' passed as payload.

Interoperating with other harcon instances

By default harcon blocks acts like a blackbox allowing to exchange communication within the main division / name of the system deployed. If you pass an attribute 'connectedDivisions' to the config of harcon, it will accept communication from the enlisted divisions and allow you to connect to those ones.

Function erupt

On the line to ease the management of workflows, harcon introduces the erupt function appearing in the published entities and in the terms object passed to the services functions during ongoing communication. It represents a simple trick to call ignite by returning the following:

function (waterfall) {
	return waterfall ? function (_obj, cb) { ... } : function (cb) { ... }
}

In case, you are building up a complete chain of calls, you can use your favorite functional abstraction tool as the following example demonstrates through the popular async.js:

async.series([
	erupt()( 'Marie.greet', 'Hello' ),
	erupt()( 'Julie.greet', 'Hello' )
], function(err, res){ })
async.waterfall([
	erupt()( 'Marie.greet', 'Hello' ),
	erupt(true)( 'Julie.greet', 'Hello' )
], function(err, res){ })

No need to pass callback, the function returned by erupt call will possess an injected callback function as parameter used as THE callback of the communication. Pretty nasty, huh?

Fragmented in time

Some operations cannot be performed within a reasonable short timeframe. Let's say, a task is sent to another devision requesting for manual acknowledgement. This will make a gap between request and response for sure. Could be proven the measure of days as well...

The design you app should follow for such cases as follows: The entity receiving the request must send back 'Request accepted'-like message to the sender and store the externalID and flowID of the communication:

ignite( 'ManCanDo.sign', document, function () {
	console.log('Accepted.')
} )

...

let ManCanDo = {
	auditor: true,
	sign: function ( document, terms, ignite, callback ) {
		database.store( terms.sourceComm, document, callback )
	},
	_signed: function( document ) {
		let self = this
		database.readRequest( document, function(err, record){
			self.ignite( record.externalId, record.flowId, record.sourceDivision, record.source + '.signed', document )
		} )
	}
}

The param terms holds references about the incoming communication by the name of sourceComm. You can store the externalID if the communication has been initiated by an external party or just the flowID if continuity must be ensured.
