MediatRItemExtension - Visual Studio(2019,2022) extension made by developer for developers

This Visual Studio extension is designed to streamline the development process when working with the MediatR and FluentValidation NuGet packages.

FluentValidation is a .NET library for building strongly typed, expressive and reusable validation rules for objects, particularly model classes.

MediatR is a lightweight, in-process messaging library for .NET that implements the Mediator design pattern. It decouples the communication between objects, enabling a clean, maintainable, and scalable architecture by reducing direct dependencies between components.

This extension automates the creation of essential classes, such as Request (Command/Query object), Handler, and Validator, ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort. By eliminating the repetitive task of setting up these boilerplate components, the extension enhances productivity, allowing developers to allocate more time to higher-priority tasks from the backlog or active sprint.

From the box, are available functionalities are:

• Save all classes in one file;
• Create a file for each class;
• Add import references (for MediatR and FluentValidation);
• Select how the request will be executed Sync or Async;
• Select which type of operation you want to create;
• Specify the name of the folder/file;
• Use one name for the folder/file where information will be stored;
• Select an option if you want to add IStringLocalizer(Microsoft.Extensions.Localization) to Validator or/and to the Handler;
• Specify any base class that will be added to the operation class (Query, Command, Notification);
• Declare the operation inheritance class;
• Declare the handler inheritance class.

You can install extensions from the VS marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/RzR).

After installing the VS extension MediatRItemExtension.V2K19 or MediatRItemExtension.V2K22 (depending on which Visual Studio version you have installed).
