Methods

AddTrellisFluentValidation(IServiceCollection)

Registers FluentValidationMessageValidatorAdapter<TMessage> as the open-generic IMessageValidator<TMessage> implementation. Every FluentValidation.IValidator<T> registered for the message in DI will then run inside the existing ValidationBehavior<TMessage, TResponse> and contribute its failures to the aggregated Error.UnprocessableContent response.

public static IServiceCollection AddTrellisFluentValidation(this IServiceCollection services)

Parameters

services IServiceCollection

The service collection.

Returns

IServiceCollection

The service collection for chaining.

Examples

services.AddTrellisBehaviors();
services.AddTrellisFluentValidation();
services.AddScoped<IValidator<CreateOrderCommand>, CreateOrderCommandValidator>();
services.AddTrellisUnitOfWork<AppDbContext>();

Remarks

This overload is AOT-friendly: it relies on .NET's open-generic DI registration to construct closed adapter types at runtime, with no reflection over assemblies. Validators must be registered explicitly (e.g., services.AddScoped<IValidator<CreateOrderCommand>, CreateOrderCommandValidator>()).

FluentValidation does not introduce an additional pipeline behavior; it extends the existing ValidationBehavior<TMessage, TResponse> via the IMessageValidator<TMessage> abstraction.

AddTrellisFluentValidation(IServiceCollection, params Assembly[])

Registers the FluentValidation adapter and scans the supplied assemblies for concrete FluentValidation.IValidator<T> implementations, registering each one as a scoped service.

[RequiresUnreferencedCode("Assembly scanning requires unreferenced types. Use the parameterless overload with explicit registration for AOT/trimming scenarios.")]
[RequiresDynamicCode("Constructs closed generic IValidator<T> service types at runtime. Use the parameterless overload for AOT scenarios.")]
public static IServiceCollection AddTrellisFluentValidation(this IServiceCollection services, params Assembly[] assemblies)

Parameters

services IServiceCollection

The service collection.

assemblies Assembly[]

The assemblies to scan for validator implementations.

Returns

IServiceCollection

The service collection for chaining.

Examples

services.AddTrellisFluentValidation(typeof(CreateOrderCommandValidator).Assembly);

Remarks

Uses reflection over GetTypes() and constructs closed FluentValidation.IValidator<T> service types at runtime, so this overload is not AOT or trimming compatible. For AOT scenarios, call the parameterless overload and register validators explicitly.
