Fixes from spatie fork: - don't allow concurrent updates to event stream for same aggregate root UUID - Fix concurrent reading - (locking reads (fixes pkey "gaps")) - Fix concurrent writing - (make aggregateVersion per event rather than per persist) Other changes: - Removed short fn () syntax (php 7.3) - Removed member variable types (php 7.3) - AggregateRoot uuid is protected instead of private - static make() like retrieve but w/o db lookup Locking and Transactions ======================== [](#locking-and-transactions) Mysql's `SELECT ... LOCK IN SHARE MODE` behaves 2 different ways depending on if it is done inside a transaction or outside (with autocommit=1). Using a locking read will try to obtain a a gap lock or next-key lock because we are scanning a non-unique index of 'aggregate\_uuid' (but I believe this also happens even with a compound unique key of 'aggregate\_uuid' and 'aggregate\_version'). Trying to obtain the lock with autocommit=1 and outside of a `BEGIN` or `START TRANSACTION` statement will have the effect of waiting for other inserts which obtained a next-key lock to complete and flush the output. This means that selecting ranges of pkeys will not result in "gaps". Using a locking read inside a transaction will try to obtain the same locks on any rows scanned plus obtain a lock on the next item to be inserted into any index scanned. So, using a locking read inside a transaction will block all inserts into `stored_events` table because the lock is on the next highest value of 'aggregate\_uuid', effectively blocking all inserts. We are not using a locking read inside a transaction when finding the highest aggregate\_version right before inserting new events, but this idea was attempted so some function comments might be referring to this old method. All this assumes the ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED (which is the mysql default). For all `retrieve()` calls whose purpose is to reconstitute an Aggregate, we use locking reads to ensure we see a consistent view of any in-flight write transactions. For any pre-insert reads which try to ensure the fencing parameter 'aggregate\_version' is up-to-date with the in-memory aggregate, we do not use locking reads and rely on the unique index of 'aggregate\_uuid' + 'aggregate\_version' to prevent stale writes.o Any call to `persist()` could throw a `CouldNotPersistAggregate` exception. Static Make ----------- [](#static-make) When you subclass AggregateRoot, you always must do a `retrieve($uuid)` call to set the UUID. It's not possible to set the UUID and skip any event loading. ``` //spatie way $order = OrderAggregate::retrieve($uuid); //my way $order = OrderAggregate::make($uuid); ``` Original README follows ----------------------- [](#original-readme-follows) This package aims to be the entry point to get started with event sourcing in Laravel. It can help you with setting up aggregates, projectors, and reactors. If you've never worked with event sourcing, or are uncertain about what aggregates, projectors and reactors are head over to the getting familiar with event sourcing section [in our docs](https://docs.spatie.be/laravel-event-sourcing/v1/getting-familiar-with-event-sourcing/introduction). Event sourcing might be a good choice for your project if: - your app needs to make decisions based on the past - your app has auditing requirements: the reason why your app is in a certain state is equally as important as the state itself - you foresee that there will be a reporting need in the future, but you don't know yet which data you need to collect for those reports If you want to skip to reading code immediately, here are some example apps. In each of them, you can create accounts and deposit or withdraw money. - [Larabank built traditionally without event sourcing](https://github.com/spatie/larabank-traditional) - [Larabank built with projectors](https://github.com/spatie/larabank-event-projector) - [Larabank built with aggregates and projectors](https://github.com/spatie/larabank-event-projector-aggregates) Support us ---------- [](#support-us) We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source).
