Real-World Event Sourcing: Command Tense (page 6)

In v2 of the calculator, does it make sens for the command tenses to be present?

defmodule EventSourcedCalculator.V2 do                                              
  def handle_command(%{value: _val}, %{cmd: :add, value: v}) do                     
    %{event_type: :value_added, value: v}                                           
  end                                                                               
                                                                                    
  def handle_command(%{value: _val}, %{cmd: :sub, value: v}) do                     
    %{event_type: :value_subtracted, value: v}                                      
  end                                                                               
                                                                                    
  def handle_command(%{value: _val}, %{cmd: :mul, value: v}) do                     
    %{event_type: :value_multiplied, value: v}                                      
  end                                                                               
                                                                                    
  def handle_command(%{value: _val}, %{cmd: :div, value: v}) do                     
    %{event_type: :value_divided, value: v}                                         
  end                                                                               
                                                                                    
  def handle_event(%{value: val},                                                   
                   %{event_type: :value_added, value: v}) do                        
    %{value: val + v}                                                               
  end                                                                               
                                                                                    
  def handle_event(%{value: val},                                                   
                   %{event_type: :value_subtracted, value: v}) do                   
    %{value: val - v}                                                               
  end                                                                               
                                                                                    
  def handle_event(%{value: val},                                                   
                   %{event_type: :value_multiplied, value: v}) do                   
    %{value: val * v}                                                               
  end                                                                               
                                                                                    
  def handle_event(%{value: val},                                                   
                   %{event_type: :value_divided, value: v}) do                      
    %{value: val / v}                                                               
  end                                                                               
end 

For instance the command to add a value is value_added, however, making it add_value does 2 things. Communicates that the value has not been added yet and also allows consumers to more naturally respond to a command to add a value. It makes sense for handlers upon adding the numbers to emit value_added as an event.

Am I misunderstanding something?

I wonder if a better example would have been to model the actions from a calculator.

commands = [
  %{action: "press button", value: 1},
  %{action: "press button", value: :plus},
  %{action: "press button", value: 1},
  %{action: "press button", value: :equal},
]

When you run through these commands, the event handler for a button press with the value of equal would attempt to run the calculation. All other events would build a buffer.

This isn’t perfect either though since you’d need to introduce taking input into the example with complicates things in addition to holding state.

Where Next?
