CleanArch.DevKit.Messaging

In-process publish/subscribe messenger with sync + async dispatch. Subscriptions return IDisposable tokens (no manual Unsubscribe). Includes an opt-in WeakMessenger for MVVM scenarios where subscribers forget to dispose. Standalone — no mediator dependency.

Part of the CleanArch.DevKit toolkit.

Install

dotnet add package CleanArch.DevKit.Messaging

When to use

Use this When
IMessenger (this package) Runtime subscribe/unsubscribe — UI, ViewModels, plug-in modules
INotification (Mediator) Design-time DI-registered handlers — domain events, application events

The two complement each other.

Quick start

services.AddMessenger();

// in a ViewModel
public sealed class HeaderViewModel : IDisposable
{
    private readonly IDisposable _subscription;

    public HeaderViewModel(IMessenger messenger)
    {
        _subscription = messenger.Subscribe<UserSignedIn>(OnUserSignedIn);
    }

    private void OnUserSignedIn(UserSignedIn evt)
        => Console.WriteLine($"Welcome {evt.Email}");

    public void Dispose() => _subscription.Dispose();
}

// publish
var messenger = provider.GetRequiredService<IMessenger>();
messenger.Send(new UserSignedIn("alice@example.com"));

Async handlers

var subscription = messenger.SubscribeAsync<UserSignedIn>(async (evt, ct) =>
{
    await SendWelcomeEmail(evt.Email, ct);
});

await messenger.SendAsync(new UserSignedIn(...));

SendAsync invokes sync handlers first, then async handlers sequentially. Send only invokes sync handlers — async handlers are silently skipped.

WeakMessenger

For MVVM apps where you don't want to remember to call Dispose:

services.AddWeakMessenger(); // instead of AddMessenger

Stores instance handlers as WeakReference<object> + MethodInfo. When the subscriber is garbage-collected, the entry is evicted on the next dispatch. Static methods and no-capture lambdas remain strongly referenced.

Footgun: lambdas with captured locals create a compiler-generated closure whose only owner is the messenger — the GC can collect it and the handler silently stops firing. Either use an instance method, or keep a strong reference to the subscription token.

Exception model

Subscriber exceptions propagate — no swallowing. Wrap your own try/catch if you need isolation.
