type-clean

A simple (& lightly opinionated) clean architecture framework.

Description

type-clean provides a simple and clean way of running commands / "use-cases" and acting (subscribers) upon them.

Installation

yarn add type-clean

or

npm install type-clean

Usage

import { CommandRunner, Command, On } from 'type-clean';


// ./models/User.ts
class User {
  email: string;
}

// ./commands/CreateUser.ts
class CreateUser implements Command {
  async handle(fields: Partial<User>): Promise<User> {
    return Object.assign(new User(), { ...fields });
  }
}

// ./commands/UserSubscribe.ts
class UserSubscribe implements Command {
  async handle(email: string): Promise<string> {
    // subscribe user to 3rd party email system
  }
}

// ./commands/SendEmail.ts
class SendEmail implements Command {
  async handle(email: string): Promise<string> {
    // send some email
  }
}

// ./workflows/CreateUserWorkflow.ts
class CreateUserWorkflow {
  @On(CreateUser)
  async onCreateUser(user: User, runner: CommandRunner): Promise<void> {
    await runner.run(UserSubscribe, user.email);
    await runner.run(SendEmail, user.email);
  }
}

// ./app.ts
import { route } from 'some-framework';

const runner = new CommandRunner();

route.post('/user', async (body: Partial<User>): Promise<User> => {
  return await runner.run(CreateUser, body);
});

In this example, we are awaiting 3rd party user subscribes and sending email. In a real-world app, you'd want to use true CQRS, but sometimes that's too much. It might be best to simply use this module and emit events to SQS / SNS and handle the subscription asynchronously.

Using alternative DI. (i.e. inversify)

import { Container, injectable, inject } from 'inversify';
import { CommandRunner } from 'type-clean';
import { UserRepository } from './UserRepository';

@injectable()
class CreateUser implements Command {
  constructor(@inject(UserRepository) private repo: UserRepository) {}

  async handle(fields: Partial<User>): Promise<User> {
    return this.repo.create(fields);
  }
}

const container = new Container();
container.bind(UserRepository).toSelf().inSingletonScope();
container.bind(CreateUser).toSelf().inSingletonScope();

const runner = new CommandRunner({ container });

// ...

Events

There are a few ways of executing other logic before or after events are ran.

1. @Use(): acts as a middleware.
2. @BeforeCommand(Command): Gets called after @Use & before the command is handled.
3. @AfterCommand(Command): Gets called after the command is handled with the handler result.

import { Use, BeforeCommand, AfterCommand, Middleware } from 'type-clean';
import { validate } from 'class-validator';

class ValidateCommand implements Middleware {
  async use(input: CreateUserInput): Promise<User> {
    await validate(input);
  }
}

class CreateUserCommand implements Command {
  @Use(ValidateCommand)
  async handle(input: CreateUserInput): Promise<User> {
    // ...
  }
}

class CreateUserSubscriber {
  @BeforeCommand(CreateUserCommand)
  async beforeCreateUser(input: CreateUserInput) {
    console.log(`Creating user ${input.name}`);
  }

  @AfterCommand(CreateUserCommand)
  async afterCreateUser(_input: CreateUserInput, user: User) {
    console.log(`Created user ${user.id}`);
  }
}

Examples

You can run examples by installing ts-node globally and running ts-node examples/type-graphql.
