ShortBus

ShortBus is a synchronous mediator with low-friction API

Command

public class DoSomething : ICommand { }
public class DoesSomething : ICommandHandler<DoSomething> {
public void Handle(DoSomething command) {
// does something
}
}
_mediator.Send(new DoSomething());

Query

public class AskAQuestion : IQuery<Answer> { }
public class Answerer : IQueryHandler<AskAQuestion, Answer> {
public Answer Handle(AskAQuestion query) { return answer;
}
}
var answer = _mediator.Request(new AskAQuestion());

StructureMap

ShortBus depends on StructureMap and it requires that you register handlers:

ObjectFactory.Initialize(i => i.Scan(s =>
{
s.AssemblyContainingType<IMediator>();
s.TheCallingAssembly();
s.WithDefaultConventions();
s.AddAllTypesOf(typeof (IQueryHandler<,>));
s.AddAllTypesOf(typeof (ICommandHandler<>));
})); 

Synchronous

ShortBus is synchronous.

Low-friction API

No type parameter noise.

What for?

• Query objects
• Enables subcutaneous testing
• Business concepts as first class citizens

In Production

ShortBus is in production powering the server API for a major ecommerce mobile application.
