Simple mediator implementation in .NET

In-process messaging with no dependencies.

Supports request/response, commands, queries, notifications and events, synchronous and async with intelligent dispatching via C# generic variance.

Examples in the wiki.

Installing MediatR

You should install MediatR with NuGet:

Install-Package MediatR

Or via the .NET Core command line interface:

dotnet add package MediatR

Either commands, from Package Manager Console or .NET Core CLI, will download and install MediatR and all required dependencies.

Using Contracts-Only Package

To reference only the contracts for MediatR, which includes:

• IRequest (including generic variants)
• INotification
• IStreamRequest

Add a package reference to MediatR.Contracts

This package is useful in scenarios where your MediatR contracts are in a separate assembly/project from handlers. Example scenarios include:

• API contracts
• GRPC contracts
• Blazor

Registering with IServiceCollection

MediatR supports Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.Abstractions directly. To register various MediatR services and handlers:

services.AddMediatR(cfg => cfg.RegisterServicesFromAssemblyContaining<Startup>());

or with an assembly:

services.AddMediatR(cfg => cfg.RegisterServicesFromAssembly(typeof(Startup).Assembly));

This registers:

• IMediator as transient
• ISender as transient
• IPublisher as transient
• IRequestHandler<,> concrete implementations as transient
• IRequestHandler<> concrete implementations as transient
• INotificationHandler<> concrete implementations as transient
• IStreamRequestHandler<> concrete implementations as transient
• IRequestExceptionHandler<,,> concrete implementations as transient
• IRequestExceptionAction<,>) concrete implementations as transient

This also registers open generic implementations for:

• INotificationHandler<>
• IRequestExceptionHandler<,,>
• IRequestExceptionAction<,>

To register behaviors, stream behaviors, pre/post processors:

services.AddMediatR(cfg => {
    cfg.RegisterServicesFromAssembly(typeof(Startup).Assembly);
    cfg.AddBehavior<PingPongBehavior>();
    cfg.AddStreamBehavior<PingPongStreamBehavior>();
    cfg.AddRequestPreProcessor<PingPreProcessor>();
    cfg.AddRequestPostProcessor<PingPongPostProcessor>();
    cfg.AddOpenBehavior(typeof(GenericBehavior<,>));
    });

With additional methods for open generics and overloads for explicit service types.

Setting the license key

You can set the license key when registering MediatR:

services.AddMediatR(cfg => 
{
    cfg.LicenseKey = "<license key here>";
})

Or if not using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection:

Mediator.LicenseKey = "<license key here>";

The license key does not need to be set on client applications (such as Blazor WASM). Turn off the license warning by configuring logging in your logging start configuration:builder.Logging.AddFilter("LuckyPennySoftware.MediatR.License", LogLevel.None);

You can register for your license key at MediatR.io
