Add a generic handler for Send and Publish methods of the MediatR library in asp .net core

Add a generic handler for Send and Publish methods of the MediatR library in asp .net core

To add a generic handler for Send and Publish methods of the MediatR library in ASP.NET Core, you can create a custom pipeline behavior that handles all requests and responses. Here's how you can implement this:

  • Create a new class that implements the IPipelineBehavior interface. This interface has two generic type parameters, TRequest and TResponse. In this class, you can add logic to handle all requests and responses of any type.
public class GenericPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse> : IPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse>
{
    public async Task<TResponse> Handle(TRequest request, CancellationToken cancellationToken, RequestHandlerDelegate<TResponse> next)
    {
        // Logic to handle all requests and responses
        var response = await next();
        // More logic to handle all requests and responses
        return response;
    }
}
  • Register this pipeline behavior in the ASP.NET Core dependency injection container in the ConfigureServices method of your Startup.cs file. The AddTransient method is used to register the pipeline behavior as a transient service.
services.AddTransient(typeof(IPipelineBehavior<,>), typeof(GenericPipelineBehavior<,>));

With these two steps, the GenericPipelineBehavior class will be invoked for all requests and responses made with MediatR's Send and Publish methods.

Note that you can add specific logic to handle certain types of requests and responses by checking their types within the Handle method of the GenericPipelineBehavior class.

Examples

  1. Creating a Generic Pipeline Behavior:

    • "MediatR generic pipeline behavior example"
    • Code:
      public class GenericPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse> : IPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse>
{
    public async Task<TResponse> Handle(TRequest request, CancellationToken cancellationToken, RequestHandlerDelegate<TResponse> next)
    {
        // Before handling the request
        var result = await next();
        // After handling the request
        return result;
    }
}
    • Description: Implement a generic pipeline behavior for handling both Send and Publish methods.

  2. Registering Generic Pipeline Behavior in Dependency Injection Container:

    • "MediatR register generic pipeline behavior ASP.NET Core"
    • Code (in Startup.cs):
      services.AddTransient(typeof(IPipelineBehavior<,>), typeof(GenericPipelineBehavior<,>));
    • Description: Register the generic pipeline behavior in the ASP.NET Core DI container.

  3. Handling Send Method Requests in Generic Pipeline Behavior:

    • "MediatR handle Send method in generic pipeline behavior"
    • Code:
      public class GenericPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse> : IPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse>
{
    public async Task<TResponse> Handle(TRequest request, CancellationToken cancellationToken, RequestHandlerDelegate<TResponse> next)
    {
        // Before handling the request
        var result = await next();
        // After handling the request

        // Custom logic for Send method
        if (request is ISendRequest sendRequest)
        {
            // Handle Send method-specific logic
        }

        return result;
    }
}
    • Description: Add specific logic for handling the Send method in the generic pipeline behavior.

  4. Handling Publish Method Requests in Generic Pipeline Behavior:

    • "MediatR handle Publish method in generic pipeline behavior"
    • Code:
      public class GenericPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse> : IPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse>
{
    public async Task<TResponse> Handle(TRequest request, CancellationToken cancellationToken, RequestHandlerDelegate<TResponse> next)
    {
        // Before handling the request
        var result = await next();
        // After handling the request

        // Custom logic for Publish method
        if (request is IPublishRequest publishRequest)
        {
            // Handle Publish method-specific logic
        }

        return result;
    }
}
    • Description: Add specific logic for handling the Publish method in the generic pipeline behavior.

  5. Handling Exceptions in Generic Pipeline Behavior:

    • "MediatR handle exceptions in generic pipeline behavior"
    • Code:
      public class GenericPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse> : IPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse>
{
    public async Task<TResponse> Handle(TRequest request, CancellationToken cancellationToken, RequestHandlerDelegate<TResponse> next)
    {
        try
        {
            // Before handling the request
            var result = await next();
            // After handling the request

            // Custom logic for exception handling

            return result;
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            // Handle exceptions
            throw;
        }
    }
}
    • Description: Implement logic to handle exceptions within the generic pipeline behavior.
