I'm using ASP.Net Core 2.2 and MediatR framework/library for query objects. When I run the program i face to this exception:
InvalidOperationException: Handler was not found for request of type MediatR.IRequestHandler
2[Store.Core.Queries.GetProductTypesQuery,System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable
1[Store.Core.DomainModels.ProductType]]. Register your handlers with the container.
I added these packaged to my Store project (main project)
1- MediatR 7.0.0
2- MediatR.Extensions.Microsoft.DependencyInjection
This is my Startup.cs
services.AddMediatR(typeof(Startup));
So this is my Query (located in a project called "Store.Core")
namespace Store.Core.Queries.Products
{
public class GetProductTypesQuery : IRequest<IEnumerable<ProductType>> { }
}
This is my QueryHandler (located in another project called "Store.Data")
namespace Data.Queries.Products
{
public class GetProductTypesQueryHandler : IRequestHandler<GetProductTypesQuery, IEnumerable<ProductType>>
{
private ApplicationDbContext _context;
public GetProductTypesQueryHandler(ApplicationDbContext context)
{
_context = context;
}
public async Task<IEnumerable<ProductType>> Handle(GetProductTypesQuery request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
return await _context.ProductType.OrderBy(p => p.ProductTypeID).ToListAsync();
}
}
}
This is the Controller I used the MediatR
namespace Store.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
private readonly IMapper _mapper;
private readonly IMediator _mediator;
public HomeController(IMapper mapper, IMediator mediator)
{
_mapper = mapper;
_mediator = mediator;
}
public IActionResult Home() => View();
[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> Dishes(GetProductTypesQuery query) {
var productTypes = await _mediator.Send(query);
var productTypesViewModel = _mapper.Map<IEnumerable<ProductTypeVM>>(productTypes);
return View(productTypesViewModel);
}
}
}
my ProductType model (I Think it's not necessary but i added it in order to provide full info)
namespace Store.Core.DomainModels
{
public class ProductType
{
public int ProductID { get; set; }
public string ProductName { get; set; }
}
}
The only part which is fishy for me is StartUp.cs (because I have queries and queries handlers in diffrent projects) but I don't know what i'm missing.
As I guessed, the problem was the Startup.cs where u add the MediatR service. Since my Handlers were in separate assembly so we should mention that assembly name. I changed this in Startup.cs
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
services.AddMediatR(typeof(Startup));
}
To this:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services){
var assembly = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load("Data");
services.AddMediatR(assembly);
}
Here "Data" is the name of my assembly where all Handlers are stored there.
