Crucial CQRS

A WebAPI, Entity Framework, AngularJS (and soon now SignalR) sample project to demonstrate CQRS and Event Sourcing.

Inspiration and adapation of code from:

Components

Points of Interest

  • Query database is recreated from Event Store on every application load (see .API/global.asax.cs for details)
  • UI is notified of events via SignalR, not directly via UI interactions (try experimenting with multiple browser windows)
  • Snapshots (Mementos) are generated and stored in the Event Store so replaying from last snapshot is faster than from entire history

##Architecture CQRS Diagram

Getting started

Update connection strings in ./API/web.config

Databases will be created automatically as long as the connection string database server and credentials are correct

Run

Pressing play in Visual Studio should start the Web http://localhost:6307 project and the API project http://localhost:41194

Grunt (Optional)

You can also optionally run the web project from the Web folder if you install grunt:

  • npm install -g grunt-cli
  • npm install grunt
  • npm install grunt-contrib-connect --save-dev You can then run grunt connect to view http://localhost:8000

Roadmap

  • Diagrams explaining architecture
  • Make all calls to WebAPI async and write to Event Bus asynchronously
  • Implement Asynchronous Entity Framework repositories
  • Implement Hangfire to pick up items from Event Bus
  • Restore query database form latest snapshot instead of replay entire event history
  • More test coverage (using Seleno)
  • More complex examples of aggregates
  • Remove dependency for UI to keep track of versions
  • Gracefully handle version clashes (Concurrency exceptions)
