Dispatch

Core messaging framework providing message dispatching, middleware pipeline, and DI integration for .NET applications.

Installation

dotnet add package Excalibur.Dispatch

Purpose

Dispatch is a lightweight, extensible messaging framework for building distributed systems. Use it as a MediatR alternative with built-in support for middleware pipelines, pluggable serialization, validation, and cloud-native messaging patterns.

Key Types

  • IDispatchBuilder - Fluent configuration builder
  • DispatchBuilder - DI service registration
  • AddDispatch() - Service collection extension
  • IDispatchMiddleware - Pipeline middleware base
  • MessageResult - Standard result type

Quick Start

// Register Dispatch services
services.AddDispatch(options =>
{
    options.AddHandlersFromAssembly(typeof(Program).Assembly);
});

// Define a command
public record CreateOrder(string CustomerId, decimal Amount) : IDispatchAction;

// Create a handler
public class CreateOrderHandler : IDispatchHandler<CreateOrder>
{
    public Task<IMessageResult> HandleAsync(
        CreateOrder command,
        IMessageContext context,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // Implementation
        return Task.FromResult(MessageResult.Success());
    }
}

// Dispatch a command
await dispatcher.DispatchAsync(new CreateOrder("cust-1", 99.99m), cancellationToken);

Features

  • Message Handling: Strongly-typed action, document, and event handlers
  • Middleware Pipeline: Extensible pipeline for cross-cutting concerns
  • Pluggable Serialization: MemoryPack (default), System.Text.Json, MessagePack
  • Validation: DataAnnotations (built-in) or FluentValidation (optional)
  • Rate Limiting: Built-in rate limiting capabilities
  • Health Checks: Health check endpoints for monitoring
  • Excalibur.Dispatch.Abstractions - Core interfaces and types
  • Excalibur.Dispatch.Validation.FluentValidation - FluentValidation integration
  • Excalibur.Dispatch.Transport.* - Message transport implementations
  • Excalibur.Dispatch.Hosting.* - Hosting integrations
