Dispatch

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

Installation

dotnet add package 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
IMessageMiddleware - 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<IDispatchResult> HandleAsync(
        CreateOrder command,
        IMessageContext context,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // Implementation
        return Task.FromResult<IDispatchResult>(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
