Commanded.Commands.Handler behaviour (Commanded v1.3.1) View Source

Defines the behaviour a command handler module must implement to support command dispatch.

Example

An open account handler that delegates to a bank account aggregate:

defmodule OpenAccountHandler do
  @behaviour Commanded.Commands.Handler

  def handle(%BankAccount{} = aggregate, %OpenAccount{} = command) do
    %OpenAccount{account_number: account_number, initial_balance: initial_balance} = command

    BankAccount.open_account(aggregate, account_number, initial_balance)
  end
end
