PHP Code Generator for Event Engine powered by Cody.

If you not familiar with PHP code generation by Cody please take a look at the PHP Cody tutorial.

Preparation

Please make sure you have installed Docker and Docker Compose.

Usage with Event Engine Skeleton

The following tutorial shows how to connect and use the Cody bot with the Event Engine Skeleton to generate PHP code from InspectIO event map.

It's important to follow each setup step. It requires a specific folder structure to function correctly!

Create a new folder (f.e. in your home directory) that will contain the Event Engine Skeleton as well as the coding bot.

mkdir cody-tutorial
cd cody-tutorial

Install Event Engine Skeleton via Composer

docker run --rm -it \
    -v $(pwd):/app \
    -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
    prooph/composer:7.4 create-project -v \
        --stability dev \
        --remove-vcs \
        event-engine/php-engine-skeleton \
        php-engine-tutorial-demo

Setup Event Engine Skeleton

cd php-engine-tutorial-demo
sudo chown $(id -u -n):$(id -g -n) . -R
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose run php php scripts/create_event_stream.php

Head over to https://localhost to check if the containers are up and running. Accept the self-signed certificate and you should see a "It works" message.

Setup coding bot

# Change back to root directory cody-tutorial
cd ..

# Install Cody Server using composer
docker run --rm -it \
    -v $(pwd):/app \
    -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
    prooph/composer:7.4 create-project -v \
        --stability dev \
        --remove-vcs \
        event-engine/php-code-generator-cody \
        /app/cody-bot

# Change into bot directory and prepare first start
cd cody-bot
cp .env.dist .env # Adjust UID in .env if needed
cp docker-compose.yml.dist docker-compose.yml
cp codyconfig.php.dist codyconfig.php

Mount Event Engine Skeleton to Cody Bot

The Cody Server (coding bot) runs in a docker container. To be able to generate source code it needs access to a code repository. In our case this is the php-engine-tutorial-demo directory. We can mount the directory to the server by modifying docker-compose.yml located in the server directory cody-bot. The file should look like this.

version: '2'

services:

  # The actual client application
  iio-cody:
    image: prooph/php:7.4-cli
    volumes:
      - .:/app
      # mount your business application folder to /service
      - ../php-engine-tutorial-demo:/service
    user: ${UID}
    ports:
      - 3311:8080
    command: vendor/bin/php-watcher public/index.php

Prepare codyconfig

Cody is a proxy to your own code generation logic. A central codyconfig.php file tells Cody what to do when it receives tasks from InspectIO. As a first step we change to Context config to fit the Event Engine Skeleton configuration. Open cody-bot/codyconfig.php and replace $context line with this:

$context = new Context(
    'MyService',
    'CodyTutorial',
    '/service/src'
);

Start Cody

Finally let's start Cody:

./dev.sh

Please Note: When adding or changing something in the Cody Bot source code a file watcher takes care of restarting the server.

InspectIO

InspectIO is a modeling tool specifically designed for remote Event Storming. It ships with realtime collaboration features for teams (only available in paid version). The free version is a standalone variant without any backend connection. Your work is stored in local storage and can be exported. It is hosted on Github Pages and has the same code generation capabilities as the SaaS version.

You can use InspectIO free version and model the building tutorial on the event map (no login required).

Create a new board called "Cody Tutorial". You'll be redirected to the fresh board. Choose "Cody" from top menu to open the Cody Console. Just hit ENTER in the console to connect to the default Cody server that we've setup and started in the previous step.

Finally type "/help" in the console to let Cody explain the basic functionality.

Cody will generate the following boilerplate for you:

Event Engine API description for commands, aggregates and domain events
Command, aggregate and domain event classes with corresponding value objects based on metadata (JSON schema)
Glue code between command, corresponding aggregate and corresponding domain events

Cockpit

Cockpit is an admin UI for Event Engine. You can access it on port 4444: https://localhost:4444. The Event Engine skeleton is preconfigured with the cockpit-php-backend handler.

Note: To avoid CORS issues the Nginx configuration of the Cockpit server is modified to also act as a reverse proxy for requests from Cockpit to the backend.

You can execute the built-in HealthCheck query to very that Cockpit can access the Event Engine backend.
