Automapify

This dotnet library facilitates object mappings without the need for service setup or configuration.

Basic Usage

There are two methods for utilizing this tool: Attributes and Configuration

Attributes

• Specify the property name from the source in the destination object using the MapProperty attribute

       public int Id { get; set; }
  
       public string Name { get; set; }
  
       public int Age { get; set; }
  
       [MapProperty("DateOfBirth")]
       public DateTime DOB { get; set; }
  
       public bool IsDeleted { get; set; }
  
       public Classroom Room {get; set; }

Map to a new object

    var studentDto = student1.Map<Student,StudentDto>();

Map to an existing object

  studentDto.Map<Student,StudentDto>(student1);

Configuration

• Establish a configuration to illustrate the mapping of values.

     public static class MappingService
   {
       public static MapifyConfiguration<Student,StudentDtos> StudentConfig()
       {
           return new MapifyConfigurationBuilder<Student, StudentDto>()
               .Map(d => d.Name, s => $"{s.FirstName} {s.LastName}")
               .Map(d => d.Age, s => s.DateOfBirth.ToAge())
               .Map(d=>d.DOB, s => s.DateOfBirth)
               .Map(d=>d.IsDeleted, s => false)
               .Map(d=>d.Classroom, s=> s.Room)
               .CreateConfig();
       }
   }

Map to a new object

  var studentDto = student.Map<Student,StudentDto>(MappingService.StudentConfig());

Map to an existing object

   studentDto.Map<Student,StudentDto>(student1,MappingService.StudentConfig());

Many to one/many mapping

Automapify now supports many to many and many to one object mapping. You can utilize that by either using the conifguration or attributes.

Using MapProperty attribute

• Specify the property name from the source in the destination object using the MapProperty attribute

       public int Id { get; set; }
  
       public string Name { get; set; }
  
       public int Age { get; set; }
  
       [MapProperty("DateOfBirth")]
       public DateTime DOB { get; set; }
  
       public bool IsDeleted { get; set; }
  
       public Classroom Room {get; set; }

Map from objects to objects (Many-to-many mapping)

• Map to a new object

  var studentDtos = student.Map<List<Student>, List<StudentDto>>();

• Map to an existing object

  studentDtos.Map(students); 

Map from object to objects (One-to-many mapping)

• Map to a new object

  var studentDtos = student.Map<Student, List<StudentDto>>();

• Map to an existing object

  studentDtos.Map(student); 

Using Configuration

• Establish a configuration to illustrate the mapping of values.

     public static class MappingService
   {
       public static MapifyConfiguration<Student,StudentDtos> StudentConfig()
       {
           return new MapifyConfigurationBuilder<Student, StudentDto>()
               .Map(d => d.Name, s => $"{s.FirstName} {s.LastName}")
               .Map(d => d.Age, s => s.DateOfBirth.ToAge())
               .Map(d=>d.DOB, s => s.DateOfBirth)
               .Map(d=>d.IsDeleted, s => false)
               .Map(d=>d.Classroom, s=> s.Room)
               .CreateConfig();
       }
   }

Map from objects to objects (Many-to-many mapping)

• Map to a new object

  var studentDtos = student.Map<List<Student>, List<StudentDto>>(MappingService.StudentConfig());

• Map to an existing object

  studentDtos.Map(students,MappingService.StudentConfig()); 

Map from object to objects (One-to-many mapping)

• Map to a new object

  var studentDtos = student.Map<Student, List<StudentDto>>(MappingService.StudentConfig());

• Map to an existing object

  studentDtos.Map(student,MappingService.StudentConfig());
