Validation layer #61
Description
It would be nice if this whole process could be like a pluggable pipeline (kind of like middleware) where I can just slot in additional functionality. So initial example would just be to add a fluent validator based on each db model and use attributes like [Required] or [MaxLength(500)] to hint to the validation rules that will apply for that object.
public class MyClass { [Required] public string Name { get; set; } [MaxLength(500)] public string Description { get; set; } } public class MyClassValidator : AbstractValidator<MyClass> { public MyClassValidator() { RuleFor(request => request.Name) .Must(x => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x)) .WithMessage(x => "Name is required!"); RuleFor(request => request.Description) .MaximumLength(500) .WithMessage(x => "Description must be less than 500 characters!"); } }
