Dealing with generic commands/ handlers

[thiagomajesk]

Hi! I'm trying to do something along the lines of:

Generic commands:

public class CreateCommand<T> : IRequest<bool> where T : Entity, new() 
{
  
}

public class DeleteCommand<T> : IRequest<bool> where T : Entity, new() 
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
}

Generic handler

public class CreateCommandHandler<T> : IRequestHandler<CreateCommand<T>, bool> where T: Entity, new()
{
    public Task<bool> Handle(CreateCommand<T> request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        /* Works with T and produces return value */
    }
}

Specific command:

public class CreateFooCommand : CreateCommand<Foo>
{
    public string Name { get; set;}
}

Today I'm getting:

InvalidOperationException: Handler was not found for request of type. Register your handlers with the container. See the samples in GitHub for examples.

Basically what I want is to have basic operations to work using only one generic handler for each type (CRUD). That way I could just describe the commands for each entity instead of writing a handler too.

PS.: I'm using AutoFac and I'm aware it could be a limitation, although I have searched and found this solution (Related: #96; #69).

Update: I finally had more time to dig into it and I came with the following solution:

Generic Handlers/ Commands + AutoFac configuration:

PS.: I'm doing all the AutoFac registration manually since it's just easier to be explicit for each custom configuration than implement a custom scanner for generic cases as seen here (for StructureMap).
