  3. i.e. individual Transactions for Bank Account

  2. Hides underlying Entities from direct modification
  3. i.e. Bank Account and it's Transactions

Applying Event

BankAccount::Created.call
BankAccount::Approved.call
BankAccount::Blocked.call
BankAccount::Destroyed.call

BankAccount::TransactionsImported.call
BankAccount::WithdrawalSuccessful.call

def create_bank_account

end

def approve_bank_account

end

def import_transactions
  # [...]
  BankAccount::Updated.call bank_account_id: id
end

def destroy_bank_account
  # [...]
  BankAccount::Updated.call bank_account_id: id
end
def create_bank_account
  # [...]
  BankAccount::Created.call bank_account_id: id, organization_id: id, [...]
end

def approve_bank_account
  # [...]
  BankAccount::Approved.call bank_account_id: id
end

def import_transactions
  # [...]
  BankAccount::TransactionsReplaced.call bank_account_id: id,
                                         transactions: [...]
end

def destroy_bank_account
  # [...]
  BankAccount::Destroyed.call bank_account_id: id
end

Rule of

Reversible Event 

class BankAccount
  class Created
    def self.call(bank_account_id: id, organization_id: id, [...])
      # [...]
    end
  end

  class Approved
    def self.call(bank_account_id: id)
      # [...]
    end
  end

  class TransactionsReplaced
    def self.call(bank_account_id: id, transactions: [...])
      # [...]
    end
  end

  class Destroyed
    def self.call(bank_account_id: id)
      # [...]
    end
  end
end

Enriching Events

a.k.a. "but someone need this in payload"

BankAccount::Approved.call bank_account_id: id, transactions: [...]
BankAccount::Approved.call bank_account_id: id

class BankAccount::ApprovedHandler

  def call(bank_account_id:)
    transactions = TransactionsQuery.for_bank_account bank_account_id

    Enriched::BankAccount::Approved.call bank_account_id: bank_account_id,
                                         transactions: transactions
  end

end
