This repository shows, how to implement CQRS architecture approach, using Autofac and MediatR libraries.

The main purpose is to create a simple app with clear CQRS requests processing behavior.

This repository demonstrates how to:

• Set up the MediatR
• Create custom Commands / Queries and its handlers
• Add decorators for all types of request handlers
• Add decorators only for Command or Query handlers
• Use pipelines (MediatR Behaviours like request Pre Processors and Post Processors)

The sample app output:
