# bellboy  [](https://codecov.io/gh/Claviz/bellboy) 
Highly performant JavaScript data stream ETL engine.
## How it works?
Bellboy streams input data row by row. Every row, in turn, goes through user-defined function where it can be transformed. When enough data is collected in batch, it is being loaded to destination.
## Installation
Before install, make sure you are using [latest](https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/) version of Node.js.
```
npm install bellboy
```
If you will be using `bellboy` with the native [msnodesqlv8][msnodesqlv8-url] driver, add it as a dependency.
```
npm install msnodesqlv8
```
## Example
This example shows how `bellboy` can extract rows from the [Excel file](#excel-processor), modify it on the fly, load to the [Postgres database](#postgres-destination), move processed file to the other folder and process remaining files.
Just in five simple steps.
```javascript
const bellboy = require("bellboy");
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
(async () => {
const srcPath = `C:/source`;
// 1. create a processor which will process
// Excel files in the folder one by one
const processor = new bellboy.ExcelProcessor({
path: srcPath,
hasHeader: true,
});
// 2. create a destination which will add a new 'status'
// field to each row and load processed data into a Postgres database
const destination = new bellboy.PostgresDestination({
connection: {
user: "user",
password: "password",
host: "localhost",
database: "bellboy",
},
table: "stats",
recordGenerator: async function* (record) {
yield {
...record.raw.obj,
status: "done",
};
},
});
// 3. create a job which will glue the processor and the destination together
const job = new bellboy.Job(processor, [destination]);
// 4. tell bellboy to move the file away as soon as it was processed
job.on("endProcessingStream", async (file) => {
const filePath = path.join(srcPath, file);
const newFilePath = path.join(`./destination`, file);
await fs.renameSync(filePath, newFilePath);
});
// 5. Log all error events
job.onAny(async (eventName, ...args) => {
if (eventName.includes("Error")) {
console.log(args);
}
});
// 6. run your job
await job.run();
})();
```
## Jobs
A job in `bellboy` is a relationship link between [processor](#processors) and [destinations](#destinations). When the job is run, data processing and loading mechanism will be started.
#### Initialization
To initialize a Job instance, pass [processor](#processors) and some [destination(s)](#destinations).
```javascript
const job = new bellboy.Job(
processor_instance,
[destination_instance],
(job_options = {})
);
```
#### Options
- **reporters** `Reporter[]`\
Array of [reporters](#reporters).
- **jobName** `string`\
Optional user-defined name of the job. Can become handy if used in combination with [extended events](#extended-event) to distinguish events from different jobs.
#### Instance methods
- **run** `async function()`\
Starts processing data.
- **on** `function(event, async function listener)`\
Add specific [event listener](#events).
- **onAny** `function(async function listener)`\
Add [any event listener](#any-event).
- **stop** `function(errorMessage?)`\
Stops job execution. If `errorMessage` is passed, job will throw an error with this message.
#### Events and event listeners
Event listeners, which can be registered with `job.on` or `job.onAny` methods, allow you to listen to specific events in the job lifecycle and to interact with them.
- When multiple listeners are registered for the same event, those added using `.on` will always be executed first, regardless of the order in which they were added compared to `.onAny`. This ensures that specific event listeners have priority over generic ones.
- When multiple listeners are registered for a single event, those added by [reporters](#reporters) will be executed first, followed by the order of registration for the remaining listeners.
- Job always waits for the code inside a listener to complete.
- Any error thrown inside a listener will be ignored and warning message will be printed out.
- `job.stop()` method can be used inside a listener to stop job execution and throw an error if needed.
```ts
job.on(
"startProcessing",
async (processor: IProcessor, destinations: IDestination[]) => {
// Job has started execution.
}
);
```
```ts
job.on("startProcessingStream", async (...args: any) => {
// Stream processing has been started.
// Passed parameters may vary based on specific processor.
});
```
```ts
job.on("startProcessingRow", async (row: any) => {
// Row has been received and is about to be processed inside `recordGenerator` method.
});
```
```ts
job.on("rowGenerated", async (destinationIndex: number, generatedRow: any) => {
// Row has been generated using `recordGenerator` method.
});
```
```ts
job.on(
"rowGenerationError",
async (destinationIndex: number, row: any, error: any) => {
// Record generation (`recordGenerator` method) has thrown an error.
}
);
```
```ts
job.on('endProcessingRow', async ()) => {
// Row has been processed.
});
```
```ts
job.on("transformingBatch", async (destinationIndex: number, rows: any[]) => {
// Batch is about to be transformed inside `batchTransformer` method.
});
```
```ts
job.on(
"transformedBatch",
async (destinationIndex: number, transformedRows: any) => {
// Batch has been transformed using`batchTransformer` method.
}
);
```
```ts
job.on(
"transformingBatchError",
async (destinationIndex: number, rows: any[], error: any) => {
// Batch transformation (`batchTransformer` method) has thrown an error.
}
);
```
```ts
job.on("endTransformingBatch", async (destinationIndex: number) => {
// Batch has been transformed.
});
```
```ts
job.on("loadingBatch", async (destinationIndex: number, data: any[]) => {
// Batch is about to be loaded into destination.
});
```
```ts
job.on("loadedBatch", async (destinationIndex: number, data: any[]) => {
// Batch has been loaded into destination.
});
```
```ts
job.on(
"loadingBatchError",
async (destinationIndex: number, data: any[], error: any) => {
// Batch load has failed.
}
);
```
```ts
job.on("endLoadingBatch", async (destinationIndex: number) => {
// Batch load has finished .
});
```
```ts
job.on("endProcessingStream", async (...args: any) => {
// Stream processing has finished.
// Passed parameters may vary based on specific processor.
});
```
```ts
job.on("processingError", async (error: any) => {
// Unexpected error has occured.
});
```
```ts
job.on("endProcessing", async () => {
// Job has finished execution.
});
```
##### Listening for any event
Special listener can be registered using `job.onAny` method which will listen for any previously mentioned event.
```ts
job.onAny(async (eventName: string, ...args: any) => {
// An event has been fired.
});
```
##### Extended information from event
Sometimes more information about event is needed, especially if you are building custom [reporter](#reporters) to log or trace fired events.
This information can be obtained by registering an async function as a third parameter with `job.on` method or as a second parameter with `job.onAny` method.
For example,
```ts
job.on("rowGenerated", undefined, async (event: IBellboyEvent) => {
// Row has been generated using `recordGenerator` method.
console.log(
`${event.jobName} has generated row for #${event.eventArguments.destinationIndex} destination`
);
});
```
or
```ts
job.onAny(undefined, async (event: IBellboyEvent) => {
console.log(`${event.jobName} has fired ${event.jobEvent}`);
});
```
#### Extended event (IBellboyEvent) fields
- **eventName** `string`\
Name of the event.
- **eventArguments** `any`\
Arguments of the event.
- **jobName** `string?`\
User-defined name of the job.
- **jobId** `string`\

- **eventId** `string`\
Unique ID of the event.
- **timestamp** `number`\
High resolution timestamp of the event.
- **jobStopped** `boolean`\
Whether the job is stopped or not.

- **url** `string` `required`
- **topics** `string[]` `required`
### HttpProcessor
[Usage examples](tests/http-source.spec.ts)
Processes data received from a HTTP call. Can process `json`, `xml` as well as `delimited` data. Can handle pagination by using `nextRequest` function.
For delimited data produces rows described [here](#delimited-produced-row).
#### Options

- **prefix**\
Custom prefix to apply to the token.
- **nextRequest** `async function(header)`\
Function which must return `connection` for the next request or `null` if the next request is not needed.
```javascript
const processor = new bellboy.HttpProcessor({
nextRequest: async function () {
if (currentPage < pageCount) {
return {
...connection,
url: `${url}¤t_page=${currentPage + 1}`,
};
}
return null;
},
// ...
});
```
### Directory processors
Used for streaming text data from files in directory. There are currently four types of directory processors - `ExcelProcessor`, `JsonProcessor`, `DelimitedProcessor` and `TailProcessor`. Such processors search for the files in the source directory and process them one by one.
File name (`file`) and full file path (`filePath`) parameters will be passed to `startProcessingStream` event.
#### Options
- [Processor options](#processor-options)
- **path** `string`\
Path to the directory where files are located. Current directory by default.
- **filePattern** `RegExp`\
Regex pattern for the files to be processed. If not specified, all files in the directory will be matched.
- **files** `string[]`\
Array of file names. If not specified, all files in the directory will be matched against `filePattern` regex and processed in alphabetical order.
### ExcelProcessor
[Usage examples](tests/excel-source.spec.ts)
Processes `XLSX` files in the directory.
#### Options
- [Directory processor options](#directory-processor-options)
- **hasHeader** `boolean` | `number`\
Whether the worksheet has a header or not, `false` by default. 0-based row location can be passed to this option if header is not located on the first row.
- **fillMergedCells** `boolean`\
If `true`, merged cells wil have the same value (by default, only the first cell of merged cells is filled with value). \
**Warning!** Enabling this feature may increase streaming time because file must be processed to detect merged cells before actual stream. `false` by default.
- **ignoreEmpty** `boolean`\
Whether to ignore empty rows or not, `true` by default.
- **sheets** `(string | number)[] | async function(sheets)`\
Array of sheet names and/or sheet indexes or async function, which accepts array of all sheets and must return another array of sheet names that needs to be processed. If not specified, first sheet will be processed.
- **encoding** `string`\
XLSX file encoding.
```javascript
const processor = new bellboy.ExcelProcessor({
// process last sheet
sheets: async (sheets) => {
const sheet = sheets[sheets.length - 1];
return [sheet.name];
},
// ...
});
```
#### Produced row
To see how processed row will look like, proceed to [xlstream](https://github.com/Claviz/xlstream) library documentation which is used for Excel processing.
### JsonProcessor
Processes `JSON` files in the directory.
#### Options
- [Directory processor options](#directory-processor-options)
- **jsonPath** `RegExp | string`\
Path to the array to be streamed. Internally when JSON is streamed, current path is joined together using `.` as separator and then tested against provided regular expression. If not specified, a root array will be streamed. As an example, if you have this JSON object:\
`{ "animals": { "dogs": [ "pug", "bulldog", "poodle" ] } }`\
And want to stream `dogs` array, path you will need to use is `/animals.dogs.(\d+)/` if using RegExp as `jsonPath` and `animals.dogs.(\\d+)` if a string is used.\
`(\d+)` is used here because each index of the array is a number.
### DelimitedProcessor
[Usage examples](tests/delimited-source.spec.ts)
Processes files with delimited data in the directory.
#### Options
- [Directory processor options](#directory-processor-options)
- **rowSeparator** `string` `required`
- **delimiter** `string`\
A symbol separating fields of the row.
- **hasHeader** `boolean`\
If `true`, first row will be processed as a header.
- **qualifier** `string` \
Symbol placed around a field to signify that it is the same field.
- **encoding** `string` `only for delimited`
#### Produced row
- **header** `string[]`\
If `hasHeader` is `true`, first row will appear here.
- **arr** `string`\
Row split by `delimiter` and `qualifier`.
- **obj** `string`\
If `hasHeader` is `true`, object with header elements as keys will appear here.
- **row** `string`\
Received raw row.
### TailProcessor
[Usage examples](tests/tail-source.spec.ts)
Watches for file changes and outputs last part of file as soon as new lines are added to the file.

[More usage examples](tests/mssql-destination.spec.ts)
## Extendability
New [processors](#processors) and [destinations](#destinations) can be made by extending existing ones. Feel free to make a pull request if you create something interesting.
### Creating a new processor
[Processor class examples](src/processors)
To create a new processor, you must extend `Processor` class and implement async `process` function. This function accepts one parameter:
- **processStream** `async function(readStream, ...args)` `required`\
Callback function which accepts [Readable stream](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_readable). After calling this function, `job` instance will handle passed stream internally. Passed parameters (`args`) will be emitted with `startProcessingStream` event during job execution.
```javascript
class CustomProcessor extends bellboy.Processor {
async process(processStream) {
// await processStream(readStream, 'hello', 'world');
}
}
```
### Creating a new destination
[Destination class examples](src/destinations)
To create a new destination, you must extend `Destination` class and implement async `loadBatch` function. This function accepts one parameter:
- **data** `any[]` `required`\
Array of some processed data that needs to be loaded.
```javascript
class CustomDestination extends bellboy.Destination {
async loadBatch(data) {
console.log(data);
}
}
```
### Creating a new reporter
[Official stdout reporter](https://github.com/claviz/bellboy-stdout-reporter)
Reporter is a job wrapper which can operate with [job instance](#job) (for example, listen to events using job `on` method). To create a new reporter, you must extend `Reporter` class and implement `report` function, which will be executed during job instance initialization.
Reporter event listeners (`on`, `onAny`) are added before any other user-defined listeners.
This function accepts one parameter:
- **job** `Job` `required`\
[Job](#job) instance
```javascript
class CustomReporter extends bellboy.Reporter {
report(job) {
job.on("startProcessing", undefined, async ({ jobName }) => {
console.log(`Job ${jobName} has been started.`);
});
}
}
```
## Testing
Tests can be run by using `docker-compose up --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from test --build test` command.
