NetEvolve.Pulse.AspNetCore 0.17.3

NetEvolve.Pulse.AspNetCore

NetEvolve.Pulse.AspNetCore provides IEndpointRouteBuilder extension methods that map Pulse mediator commands and queries directly to ASP.NET Core Minimal API HTTP endpoints. Eliminate the boilerplate of endpoint lambdas that only forward to IMediator.

Features

• MapCommand<TCommand, TResponse>: Maps a command to an HTTP endpoint returning 200 OK with the response. Defaults to POST when no method is specified; accepts any CommandHttpMethod value.
• MapCommand<TCommand>: Maps a void command to an HTTP endpoint returning 204 No Content. Defaults to POST when no method is specified; accepts any CommandHttpMethod value.
• MapQuery<TQuery, TResponse>: Maps a query to a GET endpoint returning 200 OK with the result.
• CommandHttpMethod enum: Strongly-typed HTTP method selection — Post, Put, Patch, Delete. GET is excluded by design since commands are state-changing operations.
• CancellationToken propagation: Automatically propagates the HTTP request cancellation token.
• OpenAPI compatible: Returns typed results (TypedResults) so WithOpenApi() produces correct response schemas.
• DI-based: IMediator is resolved from the request scope at runtime — no compile-time dependency on NetEvolve.Pulse.

Installation

NuGet Package Manager

PackageReference

<PackageReference Include="NetEvolve.Pulse.AspNetCore" Version="x.x.x" />

Quick Start

using NetEvolve.Pulse;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Register Pulse and handlers
builder.Services.AddPulse();
builder.Services.AddScoped<ICommandHandler<CreateOrderCommand, OrderResult>, CreateOrderHandler>();
builder.Services.AddScoped<ICommandHandler<UpdateOrderCommand, OrderResult>, UpdateOrderHandler>();
builder.Services.AddScoped<ICommandHandler<DeleteOrderCommand, Void>, DeleteOrderHandler>();
builder.Services.AddScoped<IQueryHandler<GetOrderQuery, OrderDto>, GetOrderHandler>();

var app = builder.Build();

// Map commands and queries — no boilerplate lambdas needed
app.MapCommand<CreateOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/orders");                                    // POST  /orders
app.MapCommand<UpdateOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/orders/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Put);        // PUT   /orders/{id}
app.MapCommand<DeleteOrderCommand>("/orders/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Delete);                  // DELETE /orders/{id}
app.MapQuery<GetOrderQuery, OrderDto>("/orders/{id}");                                         // GET   /orders/{id}

app.Run();

Without this package you would write:

app.MapPost("/orders", async (CreateOrderCommand cmd, IMediator mediator, CancellationToken ct) =>
    Results.Ok(await mediator.SendAsync<CreateOrderCommand, OrderResult>(cmd, ct)));

app.MapPut("/orders/{id}", async (UpdateOrderCommand cmd, IMediator mediator, CancellationToken ct) =>
    Results.Ok(await mediator.SendAsync<UpdateOrderCommand, OrderResult>(cmd, ct)));

app.MapDelete("/orders/{id}", async ([FromBody] DeleteOrderCommand cmd, IMediator mediator, CancellationToken ct) =>
{
    await mediator.SendAsync<DeleteOrderCommand>(cmd, ct);
    return Results.NoContent();
});

app.MapGet("/orders/{id}", async ([AsParameters] GetOrderQuery query, IMediator mediator, CancellationToken ct) =>
    Results.Ok(await mediator.QueryAsync<GetOrderQuery, OrderDto>(query, ct)));

Usage

Commands with a Response

MapCommand<TCommand, TResponse> binds the request body to TCommand, sends it via IMediator.SendAsync, and returns 200 OK with the result. The default HTTP method is POST; use the CommandHttpMethod parameter to choose a different method:

// POST /orders  (default)
app.MapCommand<CreateOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/orders");

// PUT /orders/{id}
app.MapCommand<UpdateOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/orders/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Put);

// PATCH /orders/{id}
app.MapCommand<PatchOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/orders/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Patch);

public record CreateOrderCommand(string Sku, int Quantity) : ICommand<OrderResult>;
public record UpdateOrderCommand(Guid Id, string Sku, int Quantity) : ICommand<OrderResult>;
public record OrderResult(Guid OrderId, string Status);

Void Commands

MapCommand<TCommand> binds the request body to TCommand, sends it via IMediator.SendAsync, and returns 204 No Content. The default HTTP method is POST:

// POST /orders/cancel  (default)
app.MapCommand<CancelOrderCommand>("/orders/cancel");

// DELETE /orders/{id}
app.MapCommand<DeleteOrderCommand>("/orders/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Delete);

public record CancelOrderCommand(Guid Id) : ICommand;
public record DeleteOrderCommand(Guid Id) : ICommand;

Queries

MapQuery<TQuery, TResponse> registers a GET endpoint that binds route parameters and query string to TQuery using [AsParameters], executes the query via IMediator.QueryAsync, and returns 200 OK with the result:

app.MapQuery<GetOrderQuery, OrderDto>("/orders/{id}");

public record GetOrderQuery(Guid Id) : IQuery<OrderDto>;
public record OrderDto(Guid Id, string Sku, string Status);

CommandHttpMethod Enum

The CommandHttpMethod enum controls the HTTP method registered for command endpoints. GET is intentionally excluded because commands are state-changing operations — use MapQuery for read-only operations instead:

Chaining Endpoint Configuration

All methods return RouteHandlerBuilder, so you can chain Minimal API metadata:

app.MapCommand<CreateOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/orders")
   .WithName("CreateOrder")
   .WithTags("Orders")
   .WithOpenApi()
   .RequireAuthorization();

app.MapCommand<DeleteOrderCommand>("/orders/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Delete)
   .WithName("DeleteOrder")
   .WithTags("Orders")
   .WithOpenApi()
   .RequireAuthorization();

app.MapQuery<GetOrderQuery, OrderDto>("/orders/{id}")
   .WithName("GetOrder")
   .WithTags("Orders")
   .WithOpenApi()
   .RequireAuthorization("ReadOrders");

Grouping Endpoints

Combine with MapGroup for shared prefixes and metadata:

var orders = app.MapGroup("/orders")
    .WithTags("Orders")
    .RequireAuthorization();

orders.MapCommand<CreateOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/");
orders.MapCommand<UpdateOrderCommand, OrderResult>("/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Put);
orders.MapCommand<DeleteOrderCommand>("/{id}", CommandHttpMethod.Delete);
orders.MapQuery<GetOrderQuery, OrderDto>("/{id}");
