NuGet feeds

• Official releases: https://www.nuget.org/packages/EventFlow/

EventFlow is a basic CQRS+ES framework designed to be easy to use.

Have a look at our getting started guide, the do’s and don’ts and the FAQ.

Features

• Easy to use: Designed with sensible defaults and implementations that make it easy to create an example application
• Highly configurable and extendable: EventFlow uses interfaces for every part of its core, making it easy to replace or extend existing features with custom implementation
• No use of threads or background workers
• MIT licensed Easy to understand and use license for enterprise

Versions

Development of version 1.0 has started and is mainly braking changes regarding changes related to replacing EventFlow types with that of Microsoft extension abstractions, mainly IServiceProvider and ILogger<>.

The following list key characteristics of each version as well as its related branches (not properly configured yet).

• 1.x (under development, not all projects compile yet)

  Represents the next iteration of EventFlow that aligns EventFlow with the standard packages for .NET (Core). Releases here will only support .NET Standard, .NET Core and .NET versions going forward.

  Read the migration guide to view the full list of breaking changes as well as recommendations on how to migrate.

  NOTE: This version is under heavy development and NO stable version has yet been releases. It will take a few alpha/beta/rc releases to get this right. These will be released as soon as any significant changes have been made.

  Documentation (not complete)

  Version 1.x documentation has been pulled into this repository in order to have the code and documentation closer together and (hopefully) have the documentation updated in the same pull-requests as any code changes.

Examples

• Complete: Shows a complete example on how to use EventFlow with in-memory event store and read models in a relatively few lines of code
• Shipping: To get a more complete example of how EventFlow could be used, have a look at the shipping example found here in the code base. The example is based on the shipping example from the book "Domain-Driven Design - Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software" by Eric Evans. Its in-progress, but should provide inspiration on how to use EventFlow on a larger scale. If you have ideas and/or comments, create a pull request or an issue

External Examples

List of examples create by different community members. Note that many of these examples will be using EventFlow 0.x.

Create a pull request to get your exampled linked from here.

• Racetimes: Shows some features of EventFlow that are not covered in the complete example. It features entities, a read model for an entity, delete on read models, specifications and snapshots.

  • Racetimes for Azure Functions: Extends the above example to support the HTTP access via Azure Functions

  • Racetimes for Azure Functions and Event Grid: Further extends the Azure Functions Example to publish to Event Grid, following the RabbitMQ pattern

• .NET Core: A Web API running .NET Core 2.2 using the event flow. It uses the pre-defined command/entities/events from the complete example. There are endpoints to create a new example event, getting a data model and to replay all data models.

• ElasticSearch/.NET Core: It is configured with EventFlow, ElasticSearch, EventStore, and RabbitMq. See "withRabbitMq" branch for #384.

• Vehicle Tracking: A Microservice on .NET Core 2.2 with docker based, you can up the service with docker-compose, this project using various tools to up the services aka. Linux Docker based on .NET Core, RabbitMq, EntityFramework with SQL Server and using EventFlow following CQRS-ES architecture and all microservice can access through ApiGateway which using Ocelot

• RestAirline: A classic DDD with CQRS-ES, Hypermedia API project based on EventFlow. It's targeted to ASP.NET Core 2.2 and can be deployed to docker and k8s.

• Full Example: A console application on .NET Core 2.2. You can up the services using docker-compose file. Docker-compose file include EventStore, RabbitMq, MongoDb, and PostgreSQL. It include following EventFlow concepts:

  • Aggregates
  • Command bus and commands
  • Synchronous subscriber
  • Event store (GES)
  • In-memory read model.
  • Snapshots (MongoDb)
  • Sagas
  • Event publising (In-memory, RabbitMq)
  • Metadata
  • Command bus decorator, custom value object, custom execution result, ...

Overview

Here is a list of the EventFlow concepts. Use the links to navigate to the documentation.

• Aggregates: Domains object that guarantees the consistency of changes being made within each aggregate
• Command bus and commands: Entry point for all command/operation execution.
• Event store: Storage of the event stream for aggregates. Currently there is support for these storage types.
  • In-memory - only for test
  • Files - only for test
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Entity Framework Core
  • SQLite
  • PostgreSQL
  • EventStore - home page
• Subscribers: Listeners that act on specific domain events. Useful if an specific action needs to be triggered after a domain event has been committed.
• Read models: Denormalized representation of aggregate events optimized for reading fast. Currently there is support for these read model storage types. For the SQL storage types the queries are being generated automatically with quoted columns and table names.
  • Elasticsearch
  • In-memory - only for test
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Entity Framework Core
  • SQLite
  • PostgreSQL
• Snapshots: Instead of reading the entire event stream every single time, a snapshot can be created every so often that contains the aggregate state. EventFlow supports upgrading existing snapshots, which is useful for long-lived aggregates. Snapshots in EventFlow are opt-in and EventFlow has support for
  • In-memory - only for test
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Entity Framework Core
  • SQLite
  • PostgreSQL
• Sagas: Also known as process managers, coordinates and routes messages between bounded contexts and aggregates
• Queries: Value objects that represent a query without specifying how its executed, that is let to a query handler
• Jobs: Perform scheduled tasks at a later time, e.g. publish a command. EventFlow provides support for these job schedulers
  • Hangfire - home page
• Event upgrade: As events committed to the event store is never changed, EventFlow uses the concept of event upgraders to deprecate events and replace them with new during aggregate load.
• Event publishing: Sometimes you want other applications or services to consume and act on domains. For this EventFlow supports event publishing.
  • RabbitMQ
• Metadata: Additional information for each aggregate event, e.g. the IP of the user behind the event being emitted. EventFlow ships with several providers ready to use used.
• Value objects: Data containing classes used to validate and hold domain data, e.g. a username or e-mail.
• Customize: Almost every single part of EventFlow can be swapped with a custom implementation through the embedded IoC container.

Complete example

Here's a complete example on how to use the default in-memory event store along with an in-memory read model.

The example consists of the following classes, each shown below

• ExampleAggregate: The aggregate root
• ExampleId: Value object representing the identity of the aggregate root
• ExampleEvent: Event emitted by the aggregate root
• ExampleCommand: Value object defining a command that can be published to the aggregate root
• ExampleCommandHandler: Command handler which EventFlow resolves using its IoC container and defines how the command specific is applied to the aggregate root
• ExampleReadModel: In-memory read model providing easy access to the current state

Note: This example is part of the EventFlow test suite, so checkout the code and give it a go.

[Test]
public async Task Example()
{
  // We wire up EventFlow with all of our classes. Instead of adding events,
  // commands, etc. explicitly, we could have used the the simpler
  // AddDefaults(Assembly) instead.
  var serviceCollection = new ServiceCollection()
    .AddLogging()
    .AddEventFlow(o => o
      .AddEvents(typeof(ExampleEvent))
      .AddCommands(typeof(ExampleCommand))
      .AddCommandHandlers(typeof(ExampleCommandHandler))
      .UseInMemoryReadStoreFor<ExampleReadModel>());

  using (var serviceProvider = serviceCollection.BuildServiceProvider())
  {
    // Create a new identity for our aggregate root
    var exampleId = ExampleId.New;

    // Resolve the command bus and use it to publish a command
    var commandBus = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ICommandBus>();
    await commandBus.PublishAsync(
      new ExampleCommand(exampleId, 42), CancellationToken.None);

    // Resolve the query handler and use the built-in query for fetching
    // read models by identity to get our read model representing the
    // state of our aggregate root
    var queryProcessor = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IQueryProcessor>();
    var exampleReadModel = await queryProcessor.ProcessAsync(
      new ReadModelByIdQuery<ExampleReadModel>(exampleId), CancellationToken.None);

    // Verify that the read model has the expected magic number
    exampleReadModel.MagicNumber.Should().Be(42);
  }
}

// The aggregate root
public class ExampleAggregate : AggregateRoot<ExampleAggregate, ExampleId>,
  IEmit<ExampleEvent>
{
  private int? _magicNumber;

  public ExampleAggregate(ExampleId id) : base(id) { }

  // Method invoked by our command
  public void SetMagicNumber(int magicNumber)
  {
    if (_magicNumber.HasValue)
      throw DomainError.With("Magic number already set");

    Emit(new ExampleEvent(magicNumber));
  }

  // We apply the event as part of the event sourcing system. EventFlow
  // provides several different methods for doing this, e.g. state objects,
  // the Apply method is merely the simplest
  public void Apply(ExampleEvent aggregateEvent)
  {
    _magicNumber = aggregateEvent.MagicNumber;
  }
}

// Represents the aggregate identity (ID)
public class ExampleId : Identity<ExampleId>
{
  public ExampleId(string value) : base(value) { }
}

// A basic event containing some information
public class ExampleEvent : AggregateEvent<ExampleAggregate, ExampleId>
{
  public ExampleEvent(int magicNumber)
  {
      MagicNumber = magicNumber;
  }

  public int MagicNumber { get; }
}

// Command for update magic number
public class ExampleCommand : Command<ExampleAggregate, ExampleId>
{
  public ExampleCommand(
    ExampleId aggregateId,
    int magicNumber)
    : base(aggregateId)
  {
    MagicNumber = magicNumber;
  }

  public int MagicNumber { get; }
}

// Command handler for our command
public class ExampleCommandHandler
  : CommandHandler<ExampleAggregate, ExampleId, ExampleCommand>
{
  public override Task ExecuteAsync(
    ExampleAggregate aggregate,
    ExampleCommand command,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
  {
    aggregate.SetMagicNumber(command.MagicNumber);
    return Task.CompletedTask;;
  }
}

// Read model for our aggregate
public class ExampleReadModel : IReadModel,
  IAmReadModelFor<ExampleAggregate, ExampleId, ExampleEvent>
{
  public int MagicNumber { get; private set; }

  public Task ApplyAsync(
    IReadModelContext context,
    IDomainEvent<ExampleAggregate, ExampleId, ExampleEvent> domainEvent,
    CancellationToken _cancellationToken
  {
    MagicNumber = domainEvent.AggregateEvent.MagicNumber;
    return Task.CompletedTask;
  }
}

State of EventFlow

EventFlow is still under development, especially the parts regarding how read models are re-populated.

EventFlow is currently used in production environments and performs very well, but it needs to mature before key APIs are stable.

EventFlow is greatly opinionated, but it's possible to create new implementations for almost every part of EventFlow by registering a different implementation of an interface.
