Using MediatR in a console application

Question

Does anyone know how to implement MediatR in a console application, to call a handler function using the _mediatr.Send(obj) syntax. I'm using the .Net 6 framework. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

First, you must install these packages:

1. Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
2. MediatR
3. MediatR.Extensions.Microsoft.DependencyInjection

Then you can get IMediator from DI and use it.

using MediatR;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using System.Reflection;

var serviceCollection = new ServiceCollection()
    .AddMediatR(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly())
    .BuildServiceProvider();

var mediator = serviceCollection.GetRequiredService<IMediator>();

//mediator.Send(new Command());
