SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines input validation in .NET applications by providing a fluent and declarative way to define and enforce validation rules, reducing boilerplate code and improving maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fluent API: Define complex validation rules using a readable, chainable syntax.
  • Separation of Concerns: Keep validation logic separate from business logic in dedicated validator classes.
  • Integration: Seamlessly integrates with ASP.NET Core and MediatR for robust request validation.
  • Use Case: Ensure that user registration data (e.g., email format, password strength, required fields) is validated comprehensively before being processed by the application.

Quick Start

Add FluentValidation packages to your .NET project using the dotnet add package command.
