Lesson 4: Metadata and Method Invocation
PHP Metadata and Method Invocation
Not having code for Lesson 4?
git checkout lesson-4Message can contain headers. Headers may contain anything e.g.
currentUser, timestamp, contentType, messageId. Headers are helpful, to give extra insights about the message and how it should be handled.
In Ecotone headers and metadata means the same. Those terms will be used interchangeably.We just got new requirement for our Products in Shopping System.:
User who registered the product, should be able to change it price. Let's start by adding
ChangePriceCommand.namespace App\Domain\Product;
class ChangePriceCommand
{
private int $productId;
private Cost $cost;
public function getProductId() : int
{
return $this->productId;
}
public function getCost() : Cost
{
return $this->cost;
}
}
We will handle this
Command in a minute. Let's first add user information for registering the product.
We will do it, using Meta Data. Let's get back to our Testing Class EcotoneQuickstart and add 4th argument to our CommandBus call.public function run() : void
{
$this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
"product.register",
\json_encode(["productId" => 1, "cost" => 100]),
"application/json",
[
"userId" => 1
]
);
echo $this->queryBus->sendWithRouting("product.getCost", \json_encode(["productId" => 1]), "application/json");
}
We call
sendWithRouting, it accepts 4th argument, which is associative array. Whatever we will place in here, will be available during message handling for us.
So it's good place, to enrich the message with extra information, which we will want to use or store, but are is not part of the command/query/event.
Now we can change our Product aggregate: #[Aggregate]
class Product
{
use WithAggregateEvents;
#[AggregateIdentifier]
private int $productId;
private Cost $cost;
private int $userId;
private function __construct(int $productId, Cost $cost, int $userId)
{
$this->productId = $productId;
$this->cost = $cost;
$this->userId = $userId;
$this->recordThat(new ProductWasRegisteredEvent($productId));
}
#[CommandHandler("product.register")]
public static function register(RegisterProductCommand $command, array $metadata) : self
{
return new self($command->getProductId(), $command->getCost(), $metadata["userId"]);
}
We have added second parameter
$metadata to our @CommandHandler. Ecotone read parameters and evaluated what should be injected. We will see soon, how can we take control of this process.
We can add changePrice method now.#[CommandHandler("product.changePrice")]
public function changePrice(ChangePriceCommand $command, array $metadata) : void
{
if ($metadata["userId"] !== $this->userId) {
throw new \InvalidArgumentException("You are not allowed to change the cost of this product");
}
$this->cost = $command->getCost();
}
And let's call it with incorrect
userId and see, if we get the exception.public function run() : void
{
$this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
"product.register",
\json_encode(["productId" => 1, "cost" => 100]),
"application/json",
[
"userId" => 5
]
);
$this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
"product.changePrice",
\json_encode(["productId" => 1, "cost" => 110]),
"application/json",
[
"userId" => 3
]
);
Let's run our testing command:
bin/console ecotone:quickstart
Running example...
Product with id 1 was registered!
InvalidArgumentException
You are not allowed to change the cost of this product
We have been just informed, that customers are registering new products in our system.
Only administrator should be allowed to register new productLet's create simple
UserService which will tell us, if specific user is administrator.
In our testing scenario we will suppose, that only user with id of 1 is administrator. namespace App\Domain\Product;
class UserService
{
public function isAdmin(int $userId) : bool
{
return $userId === 1;
}
}
Now we need to think where we should call our
UserService.
The good place for it, would not allow for any invocation of product.register command without being administrator, otherwise our constraint may be bypassed.
Ecotone does allow for auto-wire like injection for endpoints. All services registered in Depedency Container are available.#[CommandHandler("product.register")]
public static function register(RegisterProductCommand $command, array $metadata, UserService $userService) : self
{
$userId = $metadata["userId"];
if (!$userService->isAdmin($userId)) {
throw new \InvalidArgumentException("You need to be administrator in order to register new product");
}
return new self($command->getProductId(), $command->getCost(), $userId);
}
Great, there is no way to bypass the constraint now. The
isAdmin constraint must be satisfied in order to register new product.
Let's correct our testing class. public function run() : void
{
$this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
"product.register",
\json_encode(["productId" => 1, "cost" => 100]),
"application/json",
[
"userId" => 1
]
);
$this->commandBus->sendWithRouting(
"product.changePrice",
\json_encode(["productId" => 1, "cost" => 110]),
"application/json",
[
"userId" => 1
]
);
echo $this->queryBus->sendWithRouting("product.getCost", \json_encode(["productId" => 1]), "application/json");
}
Let's run our testing command:
bin/console ecotone:quickstart
Running example...
Product with id 1 was registered!
110
Good job, scenario ran with success!
Ecotone inject arguments based on Parameter Converters.
Parameter converters , tells Ecotone how to resolve specific parameter and what kind of argument it is expecting. The one used for injecting services like UserService is Reference parameter converter.
Let's see how could we use it in our product.register command handler. Let's suppose UserService is registered under
user-service in Dependency Container. Then we would need to set up the CommandHandlerlike below.#[CommandHandler("product.register")]
public static function register(
RegisterProductCommand $command,
array $metadata,
#[Reference("user-service")] UserService $userService
) : self
Reference- Does inject service from Dependency Container. If referenceName, which is name of the service in the container is not given, then it will take the class name as default.Headers - Does inject all headers as array.Header - Does inject single header from the message.
There is more to be said about this, but at this very moment, it will be enough for us to know that such possibility exists in order to continue.
You may read more detailed description in Method Invocation section.
Ecotone, if parameter converters are not passed provides default converters.
First parameter is always @Payload.
The second parameter, if is array then @Headers converter is taken, otherwise if class type hint is provided for parameter, then @Reference converter is picked.
If we would want to manually configure parameters for product.register Command Handler, then it would look like this:#[CommandHandler("product.register")]
public static function register(
#[Payload] RegisterProductCommand $command,
#[Headers] array $metadata,
#[Reference] UserService $userService
) : self
{
$userId = $metadata["userId"];
if (!$userService->isAdmin($userId)) {
throw new \InvalidArgumentException("You need to be administrator in order to register new product");
}
return new self($command->getProductId(), $command->getCost(), $metadata["userId"]);
}
Great, we have just finished Lesson 4!
In this Lesson we learned about using Meta Data to provide extra information to our Message.
Besides we took a look on how arguments are injected into endpoint and how we can make use of it.
Now we will learn about powerful Interceptors, which can be describes as Middlewares on steroids.
