Aggregate (eventsourced-aggregates 0.8.6 API)

Type Parameters:

ID - the aggregate id (or stream-id) type

All Known Subinterfaces:

StatefulAggregate<ID,EVENT_TYPE,AGGREGATE_TYPE>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AggregateRoot, AggregateRoot, AggregateRootWithState, FlexAggregate
```
public interface Aggregate<ID,AGGREGATE_TYPE extends Aggregate<ID,AGGREGATE_TYPE>>
```
Common interface that all concrete (classical) Aggregate's must implement. Most concrete implementations choose to extend the AggregateRoot class.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`ID`	`aggregateId()`	The id of the aggregate (aka.
`EventOrder`	`eventOrderOfLastRehydratedEvent()`	Get the eventOrder of the last event during aggregate hydration (using the `rehydrate(AggregateEventStream)` method)
`boolean`	`hasBeenRehydrated()`	Has the aggregate been initialized using previously recorded/persisted events (aka.
`AGGREGATE_TYPE`	`rehydrate(AggregateEventStream<ID> persistedEvents)`	Effectively performs a leftFold over all the previously persisted events related to this aggregate instance

- Method Detail
  - aggregateId
```
ID aggregateId()
```
    The id of the aggregate (aka. the stream-id)
  - hasBeenRehydrated
```
boolean hasBeenRehydrated()
```
    Has the aggregate been initialized using previously recorded/persisted events (aka. historic events) using the rehydrate(AggregateEventStream) method
  - rehydrate
```
AGGREGATE_TYPE rehydrate(AggregateEventStream<ID> persistedEvents)
```
    Effectively performs a leftFold over all the previously persisted events related to this aggregate instance
    
    Parameters:
    
    persistedEvents - the previous persisted events related to this aggregate instance, aka. the aggregates history
    
    Returns:
    
    the same aggregate instance (self)
  - eventOrderOfLastRehydratedEvent
```
EventOrder eventOrderOfLastRehydratedEvent()
```
    Get the eventOrder of the last event during aggregate hydration (using the rehydrate(AggregateEventStream) method)
    
    Returns:
    
    the event order of the last applied Event or EventOrder.NO_EVENTS_PERSISTED in case no events has ever been applied to the aggregate
