repositoryBuilder

Takes a reducer and an adapter and returns a repository. A repository is the layer of our Onion Architecture (see Introduction) which handles data persistence.

The write-model repository has a single method called getById. When invoked, it uses the adapter to load all events for given ID and runs them through the reducer to calculate the current state. It returns an object that contains state and also a save method, which is used to append new events.
