Verbytes.PassR 1.2.1

PassR 🧭

A lightweight, flexible mediator library for .NET applications — designed with Clean Architecture in mind.

✨ Overview

PassR is a minimal, fast, and extensible .NET library that enables clean separation of concerns using the Mediator pattern.
Inspired by MediatR, PassR adds support for:

• ✅ Request/response handling (IRequest, IRequestHandler)
• ✅ Fire-and-forget notifications (INotification, INotificationHandler)
• ✅ Middleware pipeline behaviors (IPipelineBehavior)
• ✅ Clean and testable architecture, built on top of dependency injection
• ✅ Command & Query separation via ICommand, IQuery abstractions

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Verbytes.PassR

🛠 Setup

Register PassR and presentation services in your Program.cs:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddPresentation();
builder.Services.AddPassR(options =>
{
    options.RegisterServicesFromAssembly(typeof(CreateUserCommandHandler).Assembly);
    options.AddOpenBehavior(typeof(LoggingBehavior<,>));
});
builder.Services.AddEndpoints(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

🛣️ API Pipeline Bootstrapping

You can set up the full API versioning + exception handler + Swagger pipeline with a single method:

var app = builder.Build();
 
app.UsePassRPresentation(endpointAssembly: typeof(IEndpoint).Assembly);

This configures:

• API versioning using route segments (/api/v1/...)
• Swagger UI with support for multiple versions
• Automatic endpoint discovery via IEndpoint implementations
• Custom exception middleware with problem response output

📐 Basic Usage

1. Define a Request

public record GetUserQuery(Guid UserId) : IQuery<UserDto>;

2. Create a Handler

public class GetUserQueryHandler : IQueryHandler<GetUserQuery, UserDto>
{
    public async ValueTask<Result<UserDto>> HandleAsync(GetUserQuery request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // simulate user retrieval
        return Result.Success(new UserDto(request.UserId, "burak@example.com"));
    }
}

3. Send the Request

var result = await mediator.SendAsync(new GetUserQuery(Guid.NewGuid()));

🔁 Notification Handling

public record UserCreated(Guid UserId) : INotification;

public class SendWelcomeEmailHandler : INotificationHandler<UserCreated>
{
    public ValueTask HandleAsync(UserCreated notification, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Sending email to user: {notification.UserId}");
        return ValueTask.CompletedTask;
    }
}

Publish with:

await mediator.PublishAsync(new UserCreated(userId));

🧩 Pipeline Behaviors

public class LoggingBehavior<TRequest, TResponse> : IPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResponse>
    where TRequest : IRequest<TResponse>
{
    public async ValueTask<TResponse> HandleAsync(
        TRequest request,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken,
        RequestHandlerDelegate<TResponse> next)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"[START] {typeof(TRequest).Name}");
        var response = await next();
        Console.WriteLine($"[END] {typeof(TRequest).Name}");
        return response;
    }
}

🔀 Built-in Minimal API Versioning with Swagger UI

PassR now supports automatic API versioning for Minimal APIs with seamless Swagger integration.

✅ Features

• Annotate your endpoint class with [ApiVersion(x)] (e.g. [ApiVersion(2)])
• PassR dynamically detects all versions (v1, v2, v3...) without hardcoding
• Endpoints are grouped under /api/v{version} automatically
• Swagger UI displays version tabs for each registered version

🚀 Example

[ApiVersion(2)]
public class PostTestV2 : IEndpoint
{
    public void MapEndpoint(IEndpointRouteBuilder app)
    {
        app.MapPost("PostTest", ...)
            .WithTags("Tests")
    }
}

No need to configure versions manually. Just use:

var app = builder.Build();

app.UsePassRPresentation(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

Enjoy fully dynamic, scalable API versioning with clean Swagger support.
