CRUD

CQRS

Command

Commands are value objects

Commands do not return anything

final class ChangeUserName {
    private $userId;
    private $userName;

    public function __construct($userId, $userName) {
        $this->userId = $userId;
        $this->userName = $userName;
    }

    public function userId() { return $this->userId; }
    public function userName() { return $this->userName; }
}

How are commandsexecuted?

Command-Bus

use Prooph\ServiceBus\CommandBus;
use Prooph\ServiceBus\Plugin\Router\CommandRouter;

$commandBus = new CommandBus();
$router = new CommandRouter();

$router->route(ChangeUserName::class)
    ->to(ChangeUserNameHandler::class);

$commandBus->utilize($router);

$command = new ChangeUsername($userId, $userName);

$commandBus->dispatch($command);

final class ChangeUserNameHandler {

    public function __invoke(ChangeUserName $command) {
        $user = $this->find($command->userId());
        $user->changeUserName($command->userName());
    }

    private function find($userId) {
        // code
    }
}

Pros

Code with intent

Scale reads and writes independent from each other

Code with intent

Cons

More boilerplate

Adds complexity

Event-Sourcing

Store all changes ofapplication state asa series of events.

Example: Todo

TodoWasPosted

DeadlineWasAddedToTodo

TodoWasMarkedAsDone

TodoWasReopened

TodoWasMarkedAsDone

Aggregates

• Isolated domain models running businesslogic through events

final class Todo extends AggregateRoot {
    // properties

    public static function post(
        $text,
        UserId $assigneeId,
        TodoId $todoId
    ) {
        $self = new self();
        $self->assertText($text);
        $self->recordThat(TodoWasPosted::byUser(
            $assigneeId,
            $text,
            $todoId,
            TodoStatus::open()
        ));
        return $self;
    }

    // more methods
}

final class Todo extends AggregateRoot {
    // ...

    public function reopenTodo() {
        if (!$this->status->isDone()) {
            throw Exception\CannotReopenTodo::notMarkedDone($this);
        }
        $this->recordThat(TodoWasReopened::withStatus(
            $this->todoId,
            TodoStatus::fromString(TodoStatus::OPEN)
        ));
    }
}

final class Todo extends AggregateRoot {
    // ...

    protected function whenTodoWasPosted(TodoWasPosted $event)
    {
        $this->todoId = $event->todoId();
        $this->assigneeId = $event->assigneeId();
        $this->text = $event->text();
        $this->status = $event->todoStatus();
    }
}

final class Todo extends AggregateRoot {
    // ...

    protected function whenTodoWasMarkedAsDone(
        TodoWasMarkedAsDone $event
    ) {
        $this->status = $event->newStatus();
    }
}

abstract class AggregateRoot {
    protected $version = 0;
    protected $recordedEvents = [];

    protected function recordThat(AggregateChanged $event) {
        $this->version += 1;
        $this->recordedEvents[] = $event->withVersion($this->version);
        $this->apply($event);
    }

    // more code
}

abstract class AggregateRoot {
    // ...

    protected function apply(AggregateChanged $e) {
        $handler = $this->determineEventHandlerMethodFor($e);
        if (! method_exists($this, $handler)) {
            throw new \RuntimeException(sprintf(
                "Missing event handler method %s for aggregate root %s",
                $handler,
                get_class($this)
            ));
        }
        $this->{$handler}($e);
    }

    // more code
}

Aggregates

• Isolated domain models running businesslogic through events
• Reconstitute by re-applying a stream of events

abstract class AggregateRoot {
    // ...

    protected static function reconstituteFromHistory(
        \Iterator $historyEvents
    ) {
        $instance = new static();
        $instance->replay($historyEvents);
        return $instance;
    }

    // more code

Event-Store

$streamName = new StreamName('todo');

$events = new ArrayIterator([
    $todoWasPosted,
    $deadlineWasAddedToTodo,
    $todoWasMarkedAsDone
]);

$eventStore->beginTransaction();
$eventStore->create(new Stream($streamName, $events));
$eventStore->commit();

Projection

final class TodoProjector {
    // ...

    public function onTodoWasPosted(TodoWasPosted $event) {
        $this->connection->insert(Table::TODO, [
            'id' => $event->todoId()->toString(),
            'assignee_id' => $event->assigneeId()->toString(),
            'text' => $event->text(),
            'status' => $event->todoStatus()->toString()
        ]);
    }

    // more methods
}

final class TodoProjector {
    // ...

    public function onTodoWasMarkedAsDone(TodoWasMarkedAsDone $event) {
        $this->connection->update(Table::TODO,
            [
                'status' => $event->newStatus()->toString()
            ],
            [
                'id' => $event->todoId()->toString()
            ]
        );
    }
}

Event-Sourcing Pros

Append only (very fast)

Immutable

No joins

Complete history

Event-Sourcing Cons

Not really

Overkill for simple CRUD apps

Wrapping up

• Use commands
• Handle with command bus
• Separate read model from write model
• Domain triggers events
• Projectors receive events and update read model
