# Angular Mediator

An Angular library that implements the mediator pattern, providing a centralized way to handle requests with optional
validation and execution pipelines.

## Overview

The Angular Flow Mediator library allows you to streamline request handling in your Angular applications by:

- Centralizing request processing logic.
- Separating validation and execution concerns.
- Simplifying the addition of new request types.

By using decorators, you can easily register validators and execution handlers for specific request types, promoting
clean code organization and modularity.

## Installation

Install the library via npm:

```bash
  npm install @foblex/mediator
```
## Usage

### 1. Define a Request Type

Create a class representing your request:

```typescript
export class MyRequest {
  constructor(public payload: any) {}
}
```

### 2. Create a Validator (Optional)

Implement a validator by extending IValidator and using the FValidatorRegister decorator:

```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { IValidator, FValidatorRegister } from 'angular-flow-mediator';
import { MyRequest } from './my-request';

@Injectable()
@FValidatorRegister(MyRequest)
export class MyRequestValidator implements IValidator<MyRequest> {
  handle(request: MyRequest): boolean {
    // Implement validation logic
    return request.payload !== null; // Return true if valid, false otherwise
  }
}
```

### 3. Create an Execution Handler

Implement an execution handler by extending IExecution and using the FExecutionRegister decorator:

```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { IExecution, FExecutionRegister } from 'angular-flow-mediator';
import { MyRequest } from './my-request';

@Injectable()
@FExecutionRegister(MyRequest)
export class MyRequestHandler implements IExecution<MyRequest, any> {
  handle(request: MyRequest): any {
    // Implement execution logic
    return `Processed payload: ${request.payload}`;
  }
}
```

### 4. Provide Handlers in Module

Ensure that you provide your handlers in your Angular module:

```typescript
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { FMediator } from '@foblex/mediator';
import { MyRequestValidator } from './my-request.validator';
import { MyRequestHandler } from './my-request.handler';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule],
  providers: [
    FMediator,
    MyRequestValidator,
    MyRequestHandler
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
```

### 5. Use the Mediator
Inject FMediator into your component or service, and send requests:

```typescript
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FMediator } from '@foblex/mediator';
import { MyRequest } from './my-request';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<h1>Angular Mediator Example</h1>`
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private mediator: FMediator) {
    const response = this.mediator.send(new MyRequest('Sample Data'));
    console.log(response);
  }
}
```
