FluentBuilderDemo-BlazorServer

A demo project showing how to implement the Fluent Builder Pattern in C# with validation, result handling, and a Blazor Server + MudBlazor front-end.

This sample extends the classic builder approach by:

  • ✅ Using a Result type instead of exceptions to collect errors
  • ✅ Integrating FluentValidation for declarative rules
  • ✅ Adding Blazor Server UI with MudBlazor for a clean form experience
  • ✅ Supporting DTO → Builder mapping (Mapster/Mapperly example included)
  • ✅ Guarding against invalid state (e.g. negative amounts, past delivery dates, inconsistent currencies)

🔧 Technologies & Patterns Used

  • .NET 9 (Blazor Server)
  • MudBlazor (UI components)
  • Result Pattern (collect errors instead of throwing exceptions)
  • Mapster (DTO ↔ domain mapping, with builder integration)
