Value Objects

Value objects live in src/domain/value-objects/. They wrap a primitive (or a backing library) behind a small, validated, immutable type. Each one uses a private constructor plus a static factory (of, generate, or domain-specific builders), so an instance can only exist in a valid state. None of them expose setters; operations return new instances or plain results.

Money

src/domain/value-objects/money.ts. The most important value object in the domain.

Purpose and the no-floats rule

Money represents an exact monetary amount in minor units (cents for a 2-decimal currency, whole units for a 0-decimal currency like JPY). It never stores a float of major units. Construction enforces this:

Money.of(1099, 'USD'); // $10.99
Money.of(1000, 'JPY'); // ¥1,000

Money.of(10.99, 'USD'); // throws TypeError: amount must be an integer in minor units

expect(Money.of(1099, 'USD').amount()).toBe(1099);
expect(Money.of(1000, 'JPY').amount()).toBe(1000);
expect(() => Money.of(10.99, 'USD')).toThrow(TypeError);

The amount must be an integer (Number.isInteger); a non-integer throws TypeError. All arithmetic stays in integer minor units, so there is no floating-point drift.

Construction and backing

• Money.of(minorAmount: number, currency: CurrencyCode): Money - the only constructor (the real constructor is private).
• The currency code is resolved through CurrencyManager.resolve, which normalizes it (see Currency below) and validates it against the dinero.js currency registry. The stored currency code is the canonical uppercase form:

expect(Money.of(1099, 'eur').currency()).toBe('EUR');

Internally Money wraps a Dinero<number> value (dinero.js) plus the normalized CurrencyCode. dinero.js performs the integer arithmetic; Money is the validated, domain-facing wrapper.

Immutability

Every operation returns a new Money; the receiver is never mutated. The two internal fields (value, code) are private readonly.

Accessors

• amount(): number - the minor-unit integer.
• currency(): CurrencyCode - the normalized currency code.
• toJSON(): { amount, currency } - serializes to the stored shape:

expect(Money.of(1099, 'EUR').toJSON()).toEqual({ amount: 1099, currency: 'EUR' });

Arithmetic

expect(Money.of(1099, 'EUR').add(Money.of(100, 'EUR')).amount()).toBe(1199);
expect(Money.of(1099, 'EUR').subtract(Money.of(99, 'EUR')).amount()).toBe(1000);
expect(Money.of(1099, 'EUR').multiply(3).amount()).toBe(3297);

// division: half-up rounding, sign-aware, no floating point
expect(Money.of(1000, 'USD').divide(3).amount()).toBe(333);
expect(Money.of(1001, 'USD').divide(2).amount()).toBe(501);
expect(Money.of(-1001, 'USD').divide(2).amount()).toBe(-501);

expect(() => Money.of(100, 'USD').add(Money.of(100, 'EUR'))).toThrow('Currency mismatch');
expect(() => Money.of(100, 'USD').divide(0)).toThrow(RangeError);

divide rounds the remainder with the rule remainder * 2 >= d ? quotient + 1 : quotient, applied to the absolute value and then re-signed, so -1001 / 2 rounds to -501 (away from zero on the .5 boundary).

allocate

allocate(ratios: number[]): Money[] splits an amount across weighted shares without losing a single minor unit. It floors each share, then distributes the leftover remainder one unit at a time across the shares so the parts always sum back to the original.

// equal three-way split of 100 cents
const shares = Money.of(100, 'USD').allocate([1, 1, 1]);
expect(shares.map((s) => s.amount())).toEqual([34, 33, 33]);
expect(shares.reduce((sum, s) => sum + s.amount(), 0)).toBe(100);

// weighted split 1:3 of 1000 cents
expect(Money.of(1000, 'USD').allocate([1, 3]).map((s) => s.amount())).toEqual([250, 750]);

Edge cases (all throw RangeError):

Money.of(100, 'USD').allocate([]);      // requires at least one ratio
Money.of(100, 'USD').allocate([0, 0]);  // ratios must sum to a positive value
Money.of(100, 'USD').allocate([1, -1]); // ratios cannot be negative

Comparison and predicates

const a = Money.of(200, 'USD');
const b = Money.of(100, 'USD');
expect(a.isGreaterThan(b)).toBe(true);
expect(b.isLessThan(a)).toBe(true);
expect(a.equals(Money.of(200, 'USD'))).toBe(true);
expect(a.equals(b)).toBe(false);
expect(Money.of(0, 'USD').isZero()).toBe(true);
expect(Money.of(-1, 'USD').isNegative()).toBe(true);

equals compares the currency code directly (so it is safe across currencies and returns false), whereas the ordering predicates assert the same currency first and throw TypeError on a mismatch.

format

format(locale = 'en-US'): string renders the amount with the currency symbol and the currency’s own precision, using Intl.NumberFormat:

expect(Money.of(1099, 'USD').format()).toBe('$10.99');
expect(Money.of(1000, 'JPY').format()).toBe('¥1,000');

JPY has 0 decimal places, so 1000 minor units format as ¥1,000; USD has 2, so 1099 formats as $10.99.

Currency

src/domain/value-objects/currency.ts. Not a class - a small stateless helper module (CurrencyManager) plus the CurrencyCode and DineroCurrency types.

• CurrencyCode = string - an ISO-style currency code.
• DineroCurrency - { code, base, exponent }, the shape exposed by dinero.js/currencies.

CurrencyManager reads from the dinero.js currency registry (case-insensitively, by uppercasing the input):

expect(CurrencyManager.precision('USD')).toBe(2);
expect(CurrencyManager.precision('JPY')).toBe(0);

expect(CurrencyManager.supports('usd')).toBe(true);
expect(CurrencyManager.supports('ZZZ')).toBe(false);

expect(CurrencyManager.normalize('eur')).toBe('EUR');
expect(() => CurrencyManager.resolve('ZZZ')).toThrow(RangeError);

Money.of calls CurrencyManager.resolve for both validation (unknown codes are rejected) and normalization (lowercase input becomes the canonical code).

IdempotencyKey

src/domain/value-objects/idempotency-key.ts. A validated, deterministic string key for safely retrying operations.

• IdempotencyKey.of(value) - trims the input; throws TypeError on an empty/blank value.
• toString() and equals(other) for use and comparison.

Domain builders produce deterministic, collision-resistant keys from typed parts. Each part is URL-encoded (encodeURIComponent) before being joined with :, so a value containing the separator cannot forge a different key.

IdempotencyKey.forCharge({
  provider: 'stripe', billableType: 'User', billableId: '1',
  reference: 'invoice_123', amount: 9900, currency: 'USD',
}).toString();
// => 'charge:stripe:User:1:invoice_123:9900:USD'

IdempotencyKey.forWebhook({ provider: 'stripe', providerEventId: 'evt_1' }).toString();
// => 'webhook:stripe:evt_1'

expect(() => IdempotencyKey.of('  ')).toThrow(TypeError);

The encoding prevents separator collisions - a reference of a:100 and an amount of 100 do not produce the same key as a reference of a and amount 100:

const a = IdempotencyKey.forCharge({ ...base, reference: 'a:100', amount: 5 }).toString();
const b = IdempotencyKey.forCharge({ ...base, reference: 'a', amount: 100 }).toString();
expect(a).not.toBe(b);
expect(a).toContain('a%3A100'); // the ':' is encoded

CorrelationId

src/domain/value-objects/correlation-id.ts. A trace identifier carried through requests, webhook events, and audit logs.

• CorrelationId.of(value) - trims; throws TypeError if empty.
• CorrelationId.generate() - a fresh UUID via globalThis.crypto.randomUUID().
• toString(), equals(other).

expect(CorrelationId.generate().toString()).not.toBe(CorrelationId.generate().toString());
expect(CorrelationId.of('corr_1').toString()).toBe('corr_1');

TenantId

src/domain/value-objects/tenant-id.ts. A non-empty tenant identifier for multi-tenant scoping.

• TenantId.of(value) - trims; throws TypeError if empty.
• toString(), equals(other).

expect(() => TenantId.of('')).toThrow(TypeError);

ProviderName

src/domain/value-objects/provider-name.ts. A normalized billing-provider identifier.

• ProviderName.of(name) - trims and lowercases, then validates against /^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$/ (must start with a letter; may contain lowercase letters, digits, _, -). Invalid input throws TypeError.
• toString(), equals(other).

expect(ProviderName.of('Stripe').toString()).toBe('stripe');
expect(() => ProviderName.of('1bad')).toThrow(TypeError); // cannot start with a digit

Status value objects

Each status is a string-literal union backed by a const array, with a runtime type guard and one or more domain predicates. These are the allowed values used by the corresponding entities and state machines.

Invoice status

src/domain/value-objects/invoice-status.ts. INVOICE_STATUSES:

draft · open · paid · uncollectible · void

• isInvoiceStatus(value): value is InvoiceStatus - runtime guard.
• isPaidInvoice(status) - status === 'paid'.

Payment status

src/domain/value-objects/payment-status.ts. PAYMENT_STATUSES:

pending · processing · succeeded · failed · canceled · refunded · partially_refunded

• isPaymentStatus(value): value is PaymentStatus - runtime guard.
• isSuccessfulPayment(status) - status === 'succeeded'.

Refund status

src/domain/value-objects/refund-status.ts. REFUND_STATUSES:

pending · succeeded · failed · canceled

• isRefundStatus(value): value is RefundStatus - runtime guard.
• isSuccessfulRefund(status) - status === 'succeeded'.

Subscription status

src/domain/value-objects/subscription-status.ts. SUBSCRIPTION_STATUSES:

incomplete · incomplete_expired · trialing · active · past_due · canceled · unpaid · paused

• isSubscriptionStatus(value): value is SubscriptionStatus - runtime guard.
• isActiveSubscription(status) - status === 'active' || status === 'trialing'.
• isCanceledSubscription(status) - status === 'canceled'.

The legal transitions between these status values are defined by the state machines.
