# node-eventstore-client
A port of the EventStore .Net ClientAPI to Node.js
## Status
### Missing features:
- Ssl connection
- Set system settings
### Areas to improve
- Errors
- Use codes or types to differentiate between errors
- Performance
- Performance hasn't been tested yet
- Tests
- Can always do with more tests
## Getting started
Install using `npm install node-eventstore-client`
### Dependencies
- Node.js >= 0.12
- Modules: [long](https://www.npmjs.org/package/long), [protobufjs](https://www.npmjs.org/package/protobufjs), [uuid](https://www.npmjs.org/package/uuid) (installed via `npm install`)
### API Documentation
#### Offline
The offline documentation can be found in the module folder `./node_modules/node-eventstore-client/docs`.
#### Online
The online documentation can be found at [https://dev.nicdex.com/node-eventstore-client/docs/](https://dev.nicdex.com/node-eventstore-client/docs/)
### Install & run an Eventstore on localhost
See http://docs.geteventstore.com/introduction/3.9.0/ .
### Example: Storing an event
Save to ```app.js:```
```javascript
var esClient = require('node-eventstore-client');
var uuid = require('uuid');
var streamName = "testStream";
/*
Connecting to a single node using "tcp://localhost:1113"
- to connect to a cluster via dns discovery use "discover://my.host:2113"
- to connect to a cluster via gossip seeds use
[
new esClient.GossipSeed({host: '192.168.1.10', port: 2113}),
new esClient.GossipSeed({host: '192.168.1.11', port: 2113}),
new esClient.GossipSeed({host: '192.168.1.12', port: 2113})
]
*/
var connSettings = {}; // Use defaults
var esConnection = esClient.createConnection(connSettings, "tcp://localhost:1113");
esConnection.connect();
esConnection.once('connected', function (tcpEndPoint) {
console.log('Connected to eventstore at ' + tcpEndPoint.host + ":" + tcpEndPoint.port);
});
var eventId = uuid.v4();
var eventData = {
a : Math.random(),
b: uuid.v4()
};
var event = esClient.createJsonEventData(eventId, eventData, null, 'testEvent');
console.log("Appending...");
esConnection.appendToStream(streamName, esClient.expectedVersion.any, event)
.then(function(result) {
console.log("Stored event:", eventId);
console.log("Look for it at: http://localhost:2113/web/index.html#/streams/testStream");
esConnection.close();
})
.catch(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
```
Run:
```json
npm install uuid
npm install node-eventstore-client
node app.js
```
### Example: Subscribing to events
```cd samples```
To subscribe to all events from now on (includes example of a filter which ignores events which we aren't interested in):
```node subscribe-all-events.js```
To catch up on all events ever and subscribe to all new ones from now on:
```node subscribe-catchup-all-events.js```
To generate a test event, open a separate console and run:
```node store-event.js```
## Running the tests
To run the tests it is recommended that you use an in-memory instance of the eventstore so you don't pollute your dev instance.
EventStore.ClusterNode.exe --memdb
To execute the tests suites simply run
npm test
## Porting .Net Task to Node.js
Any async commands returns a [Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise) object in replacement of .Net Task.
