Intent.Application.Wolverine.FluentValidation

Extends the Wolverine CQRS module with FluentValidation support, generating one AbstractValidator per Command and Query element in the Application designer.

What This Module Generates

  • CommandValidator — AbstractValidator<TCommand> for each Command element; follows the DtoValidatorTemplateBase infrastructure.
  • QueryValidator — AbstractValidator<TQuery> for each Query element; follows the DtoValidatorTemplateBase infrastructure.

Generated Validators

Each Command and Query element produces a dedicated validator class. The modelParameterName is set to "command" or "query" respectively, so validation rule references read naturally.

// Generated command validator
[IntentManaged(Mode.Merge)]
public class CreateOrderCommandValidator : AbstractValidator<CreateOrderCommand>
{
    [IntentManaged(Mode.Merge)]
    public CreateOrderCommandValidator(IOrderRepository orderRepository)
    {
        ConfigureValidationRules();
    }

    [IntentManaged(Mode.Fully)]
    private void ConfigureValidationRules()
    {
        RuleFor(command => command.CustomerId)
            .NotEmpty();

        RuleFor(command => command.Items)
            .NotEmpty();
    }
}

// Generated query validator
[IntentManaged(Mode.Merge)]
public class GetOrderByIdQueryValidator : AbstractValidator<GetOrderByIdQuery>
{
    [IntentManaged(Mode.Merge)]
    public GetOrderByIdQueryValidator()
    {
        ConfigureValidationRules();
    }

    [IntentManaged(Mode.Fully)]
    private void ConfigureValidationRules()
    {
        RuleFor(query => query.Id)
            .NotEmpty();
    }
}

Repository Injection and Unique Constraint Validation

When the application settings enable unique constraint validation, the validator constructor receives the relevant repository and generates async uniqueness rules:

public CreateProductCommandValidator(IProductRepository productRepository)
{
    ConfigureValidationRules();
    _productRepository = productRepository;
}

private void ConfigureValidationRules()
{
    RuleFor(command => command.Sku)
        .NotEmpty()
        .MustAsync(async (sku, cancellationToken) =>
            !await _productRepository.AnyAsync(p => p.Sku == sku, cancellationToken))
        .WithMessage("A product with this SKU already exists.");
}

AI Agent Skill File

This module depends on Intent.Application.FluentValidation, which generates an AI agent skill file at .agents/skills/fluent-validation-custom-validation/SKILL.md. It describes how to implement or revise a validator's custom async validation method — updating the method body, adding private helper methods, and extending Application/Domain abstractions such as repositories, while keeping infrastructure dependencies out of the validator. The same skill file is shared with Intent.Application.MediatR.FluentValidation apps; it is not duplicated per transport.
