MediatRTest

Sample of using MediatR to organize REST API endpoints into features.

Using the MediatR library to implement an in-process Medidiator patter at the Application level. MediatR (60 M downloads from nuget.org) is from the same authors of AutoMapper (250 M downloads from nuget.org).

Not a substitution for Clean Architecture. Just a pattern to better organize the Application-level code.

Advantages

  • Cleaner code: each Feature totally contained in a single file with identical structure and components:
    • Query/Command
    • Handler
    • Result
    • QueryValidator
  • Easy to work in a multi-developer environment with each developer working in his feature file.
  • Easy unit testing, only the Handlers and the Query/Command Validators must be tested (the Mappings are tested as part of the Handler).
