General.Contracts.Shared

Shared contracts and data models used by the Generic Backend and Generic API Client packages.

This package contains contracts only: generic interfaces, request/response models, pagination, and dynamic-filter definitions. It contains no database, HTTP, MVC, or UI implementations.

Package Responsibilities

General.Contracts.Shared
    └── Defines what implementations must provide

Generic.Backend
    └── Implements server-side contracts

Generic.APIClient
    └── Implements client-side HTTP contracts

Contracts should remain independent of EF Core, ASP.NET Core MVC, Blazor, Razor, Scalar, and other infrastructure.

NuGet Consumption

The package may be consumed transitively through Generic.Backend or Generic.APIClient.

A Front application normally installs only the API Client package:

Front UI
   ↓
Generic.APIClient
   ↓
General.Contracts.Shared

A backend application normally installs only the Backend package:

Web API
   ↓
Generic.Backend
   ↓
General.Contracts.Shared

Direct installation of Contracts is appropriate when an application explicitly needs its public contracts.

Design Principles

  • Single source of truth for shared API contracts.
  • Dependency inversion through interfaces.
  • No infrastructure implementations.
  • Framework-light and safe for Blazor WebAssembly.
  • Clear separation between contracts and implementations.
  • Backward-compatible contract evolution where possible.
