Part 2: Getting Started

This comprehensive tutorial walks you through building a complete task management system with EventCore. You’ll learn event modeling, domain design, command implementation, projections, and testing.

What We’ll Build

A task management system with:

  • Creating and managing tasks
  • Assigning tasks to users
  • Comments and activity tracking
  • Real-time task lists and dashboards
  • Complete audit trail

Chapters in This Part

  1. Setting Up Your Project - Create a new Rust project with EventCore
  2. Modeling the Domain - Design events and commands using event modeling
  3. Implementing Commands - Build commands with the macro system
  4. Working with Projections - Create read models for queries
  5. Testing Your Application - Write comprehensive tests

Prerequisites

  • Rust 1.70+ installed
  • Basic Rust knowledge (ownership, traits, async)
  • PostgreSQL 12+ (or use in-memory store for learning)
  • 30-60 minutes to complete

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand:

  • How to model domains with events
  • Using EventCore’s macro system
  • Building multi-stream commands
  • Creating and updating projections
  • Testing event-sourced systems
