This repository demonstrates the implementation of a simple blogging platform using ASP.NET Core with a focus on CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) and MediatR patterns. The application includes basic CRUD operations for posts and categories, adhering to a clean architecture approach.

The CQRS pattern is employed to separate read and write operations, enhancing the scalability and maintainability of the application. Queries are used to handle read operations, while commands handle write operations.

MediatR is used to decouple the application layers by implementing the mediator pattern. This ensures that requests and notifications are processed through a central mediator, promoting loose coupling and adherence to the single responsibility principle.

Entity Framework Core is utilized as the ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) for database operations. The context is configured to use SQL Server with options to include related entities when needed.

AutoMapper is integrated to handle object-object mapping, simplifying the transformation between domain models and view models.

Contains the core entities and interfaces, including:

• Entities: Post, Category
• Interfaces: IAsyncRepository, IPostRepository

Contains the business logic, including:

• Commands: Handle create, update, and delete operations.
  • Example: CreatePostCommand - Defines the data and logic required to create a new post.
• Queries: Handle read operations.
  • Example: GetPostsListQuery - Defines the data and logic required to retrieve a list of posts.
• Handlers: Implementations of MediatR handlers for commands and queries.
• View Models: Data transfer objects used by queries to return data.

Contains the implementation of the repository pattern using Entity Framework Core, including:

• DbContext: The EF Core database context for PostDb.
• Repositories: Concrete implementations of IAsyncRepository and IPostRepository.
• PersistenceContainer: Extension method for setting up dependency injection for the persistence layer.

The entry point of the application, containing controllers and the main program setup. It configures services, middleware, and routing.

FluentValidation is used to ensure data integrity and validation logic for commands.
