-## Tau Architecture
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Tau using Model–view software architecture. All the operations, main data structures,
|
|
|
-and handling messages from network protocol, happen in the Model side.
|
|
|
-While keeping the View independent of the Model and focusing on getting update
|
|
|
-from it continuously, and preserve and apply rules to received data.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-### Model
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The Model consist of chains(EventNodes) structured as a tree, each chain has Event-based
|
|
|
-list. To maintain strict order each event dependent on the hash of the previous event
|
|
|
-in the chain's events. All the chains will shared a root event to preserve the tree
|
|
|
-structure. <em> check the diagram bellow </em>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-On receiving new event from the network protocol, the event will be added to the
|
|
|
-orphans list, then a process of reorganizing the events in orphans list will
|
|
|
-start, if the Model doesn't have the ancestor event it will ask the network
|
|
|
-for the missing events, otherwise the event will be added to a chain in the
|
|
|
-model according to its ancestor. For example, in the diagram below,
|
|
|
-if new event (Event-A2) received, it will be added to the first chain.

-### View
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The view's responsibility is to checking the chains in the Model and asking for
|
|
|
-new events, while keeping a list of event ids which have been imported
|
|
|
-previously to prevent importing the same event twice, then order these events
|
|
|
-according to the timestamp attached to each event, the last step is
|
|
|
-dispatching these events to the clients.

-## Structures
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-### EventId
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Hash of all the metadata in the event
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- type EventId = [u8; 32];
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-### EventAction
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The event could have many actions according to the underlying data.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- enum EventAction { ... };
