Laravel EventStore

This package integrates Greg Young's eventstore into Laravel's event system. By simply implementing ShouldBeStored on your events, they will be sent to eventstore. In the same fashion you can also setup listeners that can respond to events that are received from the eventstore.

Example implementation: https://github.com/digitalrisks/laravel-eventstore-example

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require digitalrisks/laravel-eventstore

Add the base service provider for the package.

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\EventStore;
use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\ServiceProvider as EventStoreApplicationServiceProvider;

class EventStoreServiceProvider extends EventStoreApplicationServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap the application services.
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
    }

    /**
     * Set the eventToClass method.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function eventClasses()
    {
        // This will set your events to be the following '\\App\Events\\' . $event->getType();.
        EventStore::eventToClass();

        // You can customise this by doing the following.
        EventStore::eventToClass(function ($event) {
            return 'App\Events\\' . Str::studly($event->getType());
        });
    }

    /**
     * Handle logging when event is triggered.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function logger()
    {
        // This will setup the logger for when an event happens.
        EventStore::logger();

        // You can customise this by doing the following.
        EventStore::logger(function ($event, $type) {
            Log::info($event->getType());
        });
    }

    /**
     * Register the application services.
     */
    public function register()
    {
        parent::register();
    }
}

In your config/app.php file, add the following to the providers array.

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Autoloaded Service Providers
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The service providers listed here will be automatically loaded on the
    | request to your application. Feel free to add your own services to
    | this array to grant expanded functionality to your applications.
    |
    */

    'providers' => [
        ...
        App\Providers\EventStoreServiceProvider::class,
    ],

Example Event

use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Contracts\CouldBeReceived;
use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Contracts\ShouldBeStored;
use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Traits\ReceivedFromEventStore;
use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Traits\SendsToEventStore;

class QuoteStarted implements ShouldBeStored, CouldBeReceived
{
    use SendsToEventStore, ReceivedFromEventStore;

    public $email;

    /**
     * Create a new event instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($email = null)
    {
        $this->email = $email;
    }
}

Usage - Sending Events

The package will automatically send events dispatched in Laravel that implement the ShouldBeStored interface.

interface ShouldBeStored
{
    public function getEventStream(): string;

    public function getEventType(): string;

    public function getEventId(): string;

    public function getData(): array;

    public function getMetadata(): array;
}

To assist in implementing the interface, the package comes with a SendsToEventStore trait which meets the requirements of the interface in a basic fashion:

Event Type: the event's class name
Event ID: A UUID v4 will be generated
Data: all of the events public properties are automatically serialized
Metadata: data from all of the methods marked with @metadata will be collected and serialized

use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Contracts\CouldBeReceived;
use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Contracts\ShouldBeStored;
use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Traits\SendsToEventStore;

class AccountCreated implements ShouldBeStored, CouldBeReceived
{
    use SendsToEventStore;
    
    public function getEventStream(): string
    {
        return 'accounts';
    }
}

Then raising an event is done in the normal Laravel way:

event(new AccountCreated('[email protected]'));

Metadata

Metadata can help trace events around your system. You can include any of the following traits on your event to attach metadata automatically

AddsHerokuMetadata
AddsLaravelMetadata
AddsUserMetaData

Or you can define your own methods to collect metadata. Any method with the @metadata annotation will be called:

class AccountCreated implements ShouldBeStored
{
    use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Traits\AddsLaravelMetadata;
    
    /** @metadata */
    public function collectIpMetadata()
    {
        return [
            'ip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],
        ];
    }
}

Testing

If you would like to test that your events are being fired correctly, you can use the Laravel Event::mock method, or the package comes with helpers that interact with an eventstore to confirm they have been stored correctly.

class AccountCreatedTest extends TestCase
{
    use DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Tests\Traits\InteractsWithEventStore;

    public function test_it_creates_an_event_when_an_account_is_created()
    {
        // Act.
        $this->json('POST', '/api/accounts', ['email' => '[email protected]']);

        // Assert.
        $this->assertEventStoreEventRaised('AccountCreated', 'accounts', ['email' => '[email protected]']);
    }
}

Usage - Receiving Events

You must first run the worker which will listen for events.

None of the options are required. By default it will run the persistance subscription with a timeout of 10 seconds and 1 parallel event at a time.

$ php artisan eventstore:worker {--parallel= : How many events to run in parallel.} {--timeout= : How long the event should time out for.}

$ php artisan eventstore:worker --parallel=10 --timeout=5

When an event is received, it will be mapped to the Laravel event and the original EventRecord can be accessed via getEventRecord().

You can react to these events in the normal Laravel fashion.

class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    protected $listen = [
        AccountCreated::class => [SendAccountCreatedEmail::class],
    ];
}

class SendAccountCreatedEmail
{
    public function handle(AccountCreated $event)
    {
        Mail::to($event->email)->send('Here is your account');
    }
}

If you are listening to the same stream where you are firing events, your events WILL BE fired twice - once by Laravel and once received from the event store. You may choose react synchronously if $event->getEventRecord() is false and asynchronously if $event->getEventRecord() returns the eventstore record.

class SendAccountCreatedEmail
{
    public function handle(AccountCreated $event)
    {
        // Side effect, let's only send an email when we've triggered this event and not when replaying events
        if (! $event->getEventRecord()) return;

        Mail::to($event->email)->send('Here is your account');
    }
}

class SaveAccountToDatabase
{
    public function handle(AccountCreated $event)
    {
        // State change, let's ensure we update our database with this event.
        if ($event->getEventRecord()) return;

        Account::create(['email' => $event->email]);
    }
}

In addition, if you would like to test that are events are created AND how the application reacts to those events you may set eventstore.connection to sync. This will trick the event listeners into thinking that the event has been received from the eventstore.

Testing

If you would like to test your listeners, the package comes with several helper methods to mimic events being received from the worker.

class QuoteStartedTest extends TestCase
{
    use \DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\Tests\MakesEventRecords;

    public function test_it_sends_an_email_when_an_account_is_created()
    {
        // Arrange.
        $event = $this->makeEventRecord('AccountCreated', ['email' => '[email protected]');

        // Act.
        event($event->getType(), $event);

        // Assert.
        Mail::assertSentTo('[email protected]');
    }
}

In addition you may set set eventstore.connection to sync, which will trick your listeners

Usage - Replaying Events

You can replay events by using the replay command

php artisan eventstore:replay <stream> <event>

<event> can be a single event number or a range like 390-396

Configuration

The defaults are set in config/eventstore.php. Copy this file to your own config directory to modify the values:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="DigitalRisks\LaravelEventStore\ServiceProvider"

return [
    'tcp_url' => 'tls://admin:changeit@localhost:1113',
    'http_url' => 'http://admin:changeit@localhost:2113',
    'group' => 'account-email-subscription',
    'volatile_streams' => ['quotes', 'accounts'],
    'subscription_streams' => ['quotes', 'accounts'],
];
