ZenithArch.Cli 1.0.0

Zenith Arch

Compile-time architecture automation for .NET with Roslyn incremental source generation.

Installation

dotnet add package ZenithArch.Abstractions
dotnet add package ZenithArch.Generator

For source generator usage, configure analyzer-style reference:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="ZenithArch.Abstractions" Version="1.0.8" />
  <PackageReference Include="ZenithArch.Generator" Version="1.0.8" OutputItemType="Analyzer" ReferenceOutputAssembly="false" />
</ItemGroup>

Optional CLI installation:

dotnet tool install --global ZenithArch.Cli --version 1.0.8

Quickstart

using ZenithArch.Abstractions.Attributes;
using ZenithArch.Abstractions.Enums;

[assembly: Architecture(
    Profile = ArchitectureProfile.CqrsQuickStart,
    Pattern = ArchitecturePattern.Cqrs,
    GenerateDependencyInjection = true,
    DbContextType = typeof(AppDbContext)
)]

namespace Demo.Domain;

[Entity]
public partial class Trip
{
    public Guid Id { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [MinLength(3)]
    [MaxLength(120)]
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

Build once:

dotnet build

Then register generated DI extensions:

builder.Services.AddZenithArchDependencies();

Full API Reference

ZenithArch.Abstractions.Attributes

• ArchitectureAttribute: Assembly-level generation contract (pattern, profile, feature flags).
  • Example: [assembly: Architecture(Pattern = ArchitecturePattern.Cqrs, GenerateDependencyInjection = true)]
• EntityAttribute: Marks a class as a generation candidate entity.
  • Example: [Entity] public partial class Trip { }
• AggregateRootAttribute: Marks an entity as an aggregate root for domain-event-enabled generation.
  • Example: [Entity, AggregateRoot] public partial class Order : EntityBase { }
• MapToAttribute: Declares DTO/view model mapping targets.
  • Example: [MapTo(typeof(TripDto))] public partial class Trip : EntityBase { }
• QueryFilterAttribute: Marks properties as generated filter criteria.
  • Example: [QueryFilter] public string? Name { get; set; }
• RequiredAttribute: Marks a property as required for generated validators.
  • Example: [Required] public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
• MinLengthAttribute: Declares minimum length validation.
  • Example: [MinLength(3)] public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
• MaxLengthAttribute: Declares maximum length validation.
  • Example: [MaxLength(120)] public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
• EmailAttribute: Marks a property for email-format validation.
  • Example: [Email] public string ContactEmail { get; set; } = string.Empty;

ZenithArch.Abstractions.Enums

• ArchitecturePattern: Selects CQRS, Repository, or FullStack generation topology.
  • Example: Pattern = ArchitecturePattern.FullStack
• ArchitectureProfile: Applies starter flag presets.
  • Example: Profile = ArchitectureProfile.RepositoryQuickStart
• CqrsSaveMode: Controls write persistence timing.
  • Example: CqrsSaveMode = CqrsSaveMode.PerRequestTransaction

ZenithArch.Abstractions.Interfaces

• IAggregateRoot: Aggregate marker with domain-event buffer contract.
  • Example: public partial class Order : EntityBase, IAggregateRoot { }
• IDomainEvent: Domain event contract with occurrence timestamp.
  • Example: public sealed record TripCreated(Guid TripId) : DomainEvent;
• IAuditable: Audit metadata contract.
  • Example: public DateTime CreatedAt { get; set; }
• ISoftDelete: Soft-delete contract.
  • Example: public bool IsDeleted { get; set; }
• ISpecification<T>: Query specification contract.
  • Example: public Expression<Func<Trip, bool>>? Criteria { get; }
• ISecurityContext: User/tenant context abstraction.
  • Example: public string? UserId => _http.User.Identity?.Name;
• IZenithArchExecutionObserver: Runtime observer hooks for telemetry.
  • Example: public void OnValidationFailed(string requestName, int failureCount) { ... }

ZenithArch.Abstractions.Base

• EntityBase: Aggregate base type with Id, domain event buffering, and clear operations.
  • Example: public partial class Trip : EntityBase { }
• DomainEvent: Base immutable domain event record.
  • Example: public sealed record TripUpdated(Guid TripId) : DomainEvent;
