FluentValidation: How to inject all registered validators?

I'm using FluentValidation.AspNetCore library (Version="10.3.3") for a .Net Core project.

To register validators i use this: services.AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining<TestValidator>();

For example i have class called Test and i can inject validator for this class like this:

    public class Service : IService
    {
        private readonly IValidator<Test> _testValidator;

        public Service(IValidator<Test> testValidator)
        {
            _testValidator = testValidator;
        }
   }

But i dont know how to inject all registered validators into my Service constructor as IEnumerable instance. So what is the correct way to do it?

FluentValidation's AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining registers all validators implementing IValidator<T> from assembly as generic interface and self so you can resolve them only by concrete type or constructed generic (i.e. IValidator<Test>) i.e. it is not possible to resolve all of them as a single collection.

If you really want you can try leveraging that IValidator<T> inherits IValidator and use next little bit hacky solution:

services.AddValidatorsFromAssemblyContaining(typeof(Val1));

// Only after all validators registrations
var serviceDescriptors = services
    .Where(descriptor => typeof(IValidator) != descriptor.ServiceType
           && typeof(IValidator).IsAssignableFrom(descriptor.ServiceType)
           && descriptor.ServiceType.IsInterface)
    .ToList();

foreach (var descriptor in serviceDescriptors)
{
    services.Add(new ServiceDescriptor(
        typeof(IValidator),
        p => p.GetRequiredService(descriptor.ServiceType),
        descriptor.Lifetime));
}

After that you will be able to resolve IEnumerable<IValidator>. Though not sure that this will be much help for you.
