MinimalCleanArch.Validation

Validation components for MinimalCleanArch.

Version

  • Current stable: 0.1.19-preview (net9.0, net10.0).

Why Use It

  • register FluentValidation validators with short, MCA-oriented extension methods
  • plug validators into the MCA Minimal API pipeline without repeating setup code across hosts
  • keep validator discovery and registration consistent between generated apps and hand-built applications

When to Use It

  • use it when your API project relies on FluentValidation and MCA endpoint validation
  • keep it at the API/host or composition-root boundary where validators are registered
  • skip it if you are not using FluentValidation or you are not using the MCA HTTP pipeline

Dependency Direction

  • Depends on: MinimalCleanArch, MinimalCleanArch.Extensions
  • Typically referenced by: API/host projects or composition roots
  • Do not reference from: domain projects; infrastructure projects generally do not need it
  • Note: this package exists to support host-side validator registration, not domain modeling

Overview

  • FluentValidation registration helpers.
  • Integration with MinimalCleanArch.Extensions endpoint validation.
  • Short registration methods for application validators.

Usage

dotnet add package MinimalCleanArch.Validation --version 0.1.19-preview

Recommended registration:

builder.Services.AddValidationFromAssemblyContaining<CreateTodoCommandValidator>();
builder.Services.AddMinimalCleanArchExtensions();

If you use the higher-level API bootstrap from MinimalCleanArch.Extensions, you can register validators there instead:

builder.Services.AddMinimalCleanArchApi(options =>
{
    options.AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining<CreateTodoCommandValidator>();
});

Recommended methods:

  • AddValidation(...) registers validators from one or more assemblies.
  • AddValidationFromAssemblyContaining<T>() registers validators from the assembly containing T.
  • AddMinimalCleanArchValidation(...) and AddMinimalCleanArchValidationFromAssemblyContaining<T>() remain available as compatibility aliases.
