@classytic/primitives

Framework-agnostic TypeScript primitives shared across Classytic packages. Zero runtime dependencies. ESM only. Node 22+.

These are the building blocks every Classytic package speaks in common: Money, DomainEvent, OperationContext, polymorphic references. When a package duplicates one of these shapes, it drifts — this package exists so it doesn't.

Canonical-contract relocations in 0.3.0. Three modules moved out to @classytic/repo-core so kits and arc see one source of truth instead of two:

• Pagination (OffsetPaginationResult, KeysetPaginationResult, AggregatePaginationResult, PaginationResult, toCanonicalList()) → @classytic/repo-core/pagination.
• Tenant config (TenantConfig, TenantStrategy, TenantFieldType, resolveTenantConfig, DEFAULT_TENANT_CONFIG, ResolvedTenantConfig) → @classytic/repo-core/tenant. Mongokit and sqlitekit's MultiTenantOptions extends Pick<TenantConfig, ...>.
• Error contracts (HttpError throwable, ErrorContract wire shape, ErrorDetail, ErrorCode, ERROR_CODES, toErrorContract(), statusToErrorCode()) → @classytic/repo-core/errors. ArcError implements HttpError.

Events stay here. @classytic/primitives/events remains the canonical source for EventMeta, DomainEvent, EventHandler, EventLogger, EventTransport, DeadLetteredEvent, PublishManyResult, createEvent, createChildEvent, matchEventPattern. Arc 2.12 re-exports only the runtime MemoryEventTransport.

Install

npm install @classytic/primitives

Use

Prefer subpath imports — each concern is its own entry point, types erase at compile time, runtime helpers are tiny.

import { addMoney, fromMajor, type Money } from '@classytic/primitives/money';
import { createEvent, type DomainEvent, type EventTransport } from '@classytic/primitives/events';
import type { OperationContext } from '@classytic/primitives/context';
import { allocate, type SplitResult } from '@classytic/primitives/split-allocation';
// Tenant config, error contracts, and pagination now live in repo-core:
import { resolveTenantConfig, type TenantConfig } from '@classytic/repo-core/tenant';
import type { HttpError, ErrorContract } from '@classytic/repo-core/errors';
import type {
  OffsetPaginationResult, KeysetPaginationResult, AggregatePaginationResult,
} from '@classytic/repo-core/pagination';

There is intentionally no root barrel — a barrel forces the Node ESM loader and TypeScript compiler to walk every module on a single convenience import, which slows CI and pulls unused code into the consumer's graph. Use subpath imports only.

Design

Money — integer minor units, always

import { fromMajor, addMoney, toMajor } from '@classytic/primitives/money';

const subtotal = fromMajor(19.99, 'USD');     // { amount: 1999, currency: 'USD' }
const shipping = fromMajor(5.00,  'USD');     // { amount: 500,  currency: 'USD' }
const total    = addMoney(subtotal, shipping); // { amount: 2499, currency: 'USD' }
toMajor(total);                                // 24.99

Money.amount is always an integer in the currency's minor unit — 1 = one cent for USD, one yen for JPY, one fils for KWD. Mixing currencies throws CurrencyMismatchError. This eliminates the float-rounding drift that happens when every package rolls its own { amount: number, currency: string }.

DomainEvent — structurally identical to Arc

import { createEvent, type EventTransport } from '@classytic/primitives/events';

const event = createEvent('order:placed', { orderId: 'ord_123' }, {
  organizationId: ctx.organizationId,
  userId: ctx.actorId,
  correlationId: ctx.correlationId,
});

await transport.publish(event);

Shape matches @classytic/arc's DomainEvent exactly — any Arc transport (memory, Redis pub/sub, Redis Streams, Kafka) plugs into a package expecting this interface without adapters. See PACKAGE_RULES.md §11.

TenantConfig — moved to @classytic/repo-core/tenant

import { resolveTenantConfig } from '@classytic/repo-core/tenant';

const tenant = resolveTenantConfig(config.tenant);
// { enabled: true, tenantField: 'organizationId', fieldType: 'objectId',
//   ref: 'organization', contextKey: 'organizationId', required: true }

Mongokit's MultiTenantOptions and sqlitekit's equivalent both extends Pick<TenantConfig, ...> from repo-core — pass the resolved config straight into multiTenantPlugin(resolved).

ExternalRef — polymorphic, framework-free

interface ExternalRef {
  sourceId: string;
  sourceModel: string;
}

For references that cross trust boundaries (another package, another service, Stripe, Postgres) — paired with a host-implemented SourceBridge. Works for ObjectId, UUID, Stripe ID, anything. See PACKAGE_RULES.md §7.

What's not here (on purpose)

• Mongoose types — use ObjectIdLike from /reference. Any Mongoose Types.ObjectId satisfies it structurally.
• Transaction / Order / Cart shapes — those are domain types, not primitives. They live in their respective packages.
• Error subclasses — throw plain Errors; hosts serialize them into ErrorContract (from @classytic/repo-core/errors) at the HTTP boundary via toErrorContract(err).
• Runtime currency database — ship a whitelist at the app layer if you need one. MINOR_UNIT_FACTOR covers common cases.
