Class GenerateDispatcherAttribute

Namespace
PatternKit.Generators.Messaging
Assembly
PatternKit.Generators.Abstractions.dll

Marks an assembly for source-generated Mediator pattern implementation.

The Mediator pattern reduces coupling between components by centralizing communication through a mediator object. This source generator produces a standalone mediator with zero PatternKit runtime dependencies.

The generated mediator supports:

  • Commands (request → response)
  • Notifications (fan-out to multiple handlers)
  • Streams (async enumerable results)
  • Pipelines (pre/post hooks for cross-cutting concerns)
