Stratara.Validation
Derived. The behaviour described here is specified under
openspec/specs/. Those specifications are the source; this page explains and illustrates them.
License: MIT.
Vendor-neutral request validation for Stratara's CQRS pipeline. A mediator pipeline behavior
runs your IValidator<T> implementations before the handler and throws an aggregated
StrataraValidationException when validation fails — no third-party validation dependency in
the default path.
Quick start
// 1. Register the behavior (outermost) + discover validators.
builder.Services
.AddStrataraValidation()
.AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining<IAppMarker>();
// 2. Write a validator (the contracts live in Stratara.Abstractions.Validation).
public sealed class CreateOrderValidator : IValidator<CreateOrder>
{
public ValueTask<ValidationResult> ValidateAsync(CreateOrder cmd, CancellationToken ct = default)
=> ValueTask.FromResult(string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(cmd.CustomerId)
? new ValidationResult([new ValidationFailure(nameof(cmd.CustomerId), "Customer is required.")])
: ValidationResult.Success);
}
// 3. Catch the failure in your global handler and map it to your error model.
catch (StrataraValidationException ex)
{
// ex.Failures -> RFC-7807 ProblemDetails 400, your error codes, etc.
}
How it works
AddStrataraValidation()registersIPipelineBehaviorfor both request shapes (IRequestandIRequest<TResult>). Register it before other behaviors so validation runs outermost — before authorization, auditing, and the handler.- All validators for a request run; their failures are aggregated.
- Severity policy: only
ValidationSeverity.Errorblocks (throwsStrataraValidationException).WarningandInfofailures pass through and are logged.
Contracts
The validation contracts (IValidator<T>, ValidationResult, ValidationFailure,
ValidationSeverity, StrataraValidationException) live in Stratara.Abstractions
(namespace Stratara.Abstractions.Validation) so consumers can implement validators and catch
the exception without referencing this behavior package.
The contract shape is FluentValidation-compatible; an optional
Stratara.Validation.FluentValidation adapter can be shipped to plug FluentValidation
validators into the same pipeline.

Three fixes to the same complaint: a host composed exactly as the documentation describes did not
start. Each one was a registration the composites assumed somebody else had made — a tracer, a unit
of work, a Redis connection — and each is now made by the registration that needs it. Nothing that
already worked changes: every fix defers to a registration the host makes itself, in either order,
so the lines a working host added to get past these gaps can simply be deleted. Additive on every
published surface.
### Fixed
- **A host without Redis starts and dispatches.** Every composite that carries a dispatcher
registered the projection-replay state, and its only implementation took a Redis connection that
no composite registers, so a host composed as documented failed at its first dispatch unless it
also ran Redis and called `AddCaching()`. `AddProjectionReplayState()` now chooses at first
resolution: with a registered `IConnectionMultiplexer` the Redis-backed state as before, without
one an in-process state with the same lease semantics — and a warning, once at start-up
(`104_012`), that replay coordination is confined to that process, so a replay requested there
suppresses publication there only. A deployment whose replay must reach several hosts registers
the shared connection, in either order. Redis-backed hosts observe no change.
- **Registering a store context now registers its unit of work.**
`AddNpgsqlWriteDbContextFactory<T>()` registered the context factory, the context and the default
connection resolver but not the `IWriteUnitOfWork` that the event source, the outbox dispatcher and
the command worker take from the container — and nothing else in the published packages did, so a
host composed exactly as documented failed at its first command with a dependency-injection error.
The write registration now try-adds a scoped `IWriteUnitOfWork` over its context, and
`AddNpgsqlReadDbContextFactory<T>()` try-adds `IProjectionsUnitOfWork` and `IReadUnitOfWork`
likewise. A unit of work the host registers itself, before or after, is still the one used; a
hand-written registration can simply be deleted.
- **`AddMediator()` no longer requires the host to register an OpenTelemetry `Tracer`.** The
mediator traces every dispatch and obtained its tracer from the host, but nothing registered one,
so a host that called `AddMediator()` and nothing else failed at the first resolve of `IMediator`.
`AddMediator()` now registers a fallback that emits the dispatch spans from the framework's
`Stratara.Application` activity source — a host that subscribes to framework telemetry sees them,
a host that subscribes to nothing pays for nothing. A `Tracer` the host registers, before or after
`AddMediator()`, is still the one used, so no existing host changes behaviour; the registration
line can simply be deleted. The samples, the README and the package README no longer carry it.
