# ELM CQRS

A [CQRS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Query_Responsibility_Segregation) library to support separation of commands and queries on the type level.

## Installation

```sh
elm install jamesrweb/elm-cqrs
```

## Usage

You interact with this library via the `Cqrs.Command` or `Cqrs.Query` module.

It is important that your API responds in the following pseudocode format for both commands and queries:

```elm
type alias ApiSuccess a =
{ data : a
}

type alias ApiError e =
{ error : e
}
```

1. If an `error` is present, the failure variant for `Cqrs.Command.Response` or `Cqrs.Query.Response` will be decoded.
2. If the `data` key is present, the success variant for the given `Cqrs.Query.Response` will be decoded.
3. If the `data` key is present in a `Cqrs.Command.Response`, it will be discarded since commands, by definition, do not return data.

Please see the tests for more examples of how the decoders handle the different cases.

### Commands

A command is an instruction which returns no value in response. It is simply successful or not.

To send a command, you can do the following:

```elm
import Cqrs.Command as Command exposing (CommandResponse)
import User exposing (User) -- An example module
import Api.Error as Error exposing (Error) -- An example module

type alias UserCommandResponse =
CommandResponse Error

type Msg =
UserCommandExecuted UserCommandResponse

addUserCommand : User -> Cmd Msg
addUserCommand user =
let
body : Json.Encode.Value
body =
User.encode user
in
Command.request {
url = "/api/v1/user"
, body = body
, toMsg = UserCommandExecuted
, toError = Error.decoder
, defaultError = Error.Unknown
}

addUserCommandTask : User -> Task () UserCommandResponse
addUserCommandTask user =
let
body : Json.Encode.Value
body =
User.encode user
in
Command.requestTask {
url = "/api/v1/user"
, body = body
, toError = Error.decoder
, defaultError = Error.Unknown
}
```

### Queries

A query is a request to look up a value or series of values in response. It will either return the desired values, or an appropriate error.

To execute a query, you can do the following:

```elm
import Cqrs.Query as Query exposing (QueryResponse)
import UUID exposing (UUID) -- elm install TSFoster/elm-uuid (for example)
import Models.User exposing (User) -- An example module
import Api.Error as Error exposing (Error) -- An example module

type alias UserQueryResponse =
QueryResponse Error User

type Msg =
UserQueryExecuted UserQueryResponse

findUserQuery : Uuid -> Cmd Msg
findUserQuery id =
let
path : String
path = "/api/v1/user/" ++ Uuid.toString id
in
Query.request {
url = path
, toMsg = UserQueryExecuted
, toData = User.decoder
, toError = Error.decoder
, defaultError = Error.Unknown
}

findUserQueryTask : Uuid -> Task () UserQueryResponse
findUserQueryTask id =
let
path : String
path = "/api/v1/user/" ++ Uuid.toString id
in
Query.requestTask {
url = path
, toData = User.decoder
, toError = Error.decoder
, defaultError = Error.Unknown
}
```
