IBeam.Services.AutoMapper

IBeam.Services.AutoMapper bridges IBeam's IModelMapper<TEntity,TModel> abstraction to AutoMapper.

dotnet add package IBeam.Services.AutoMapper

When To Use This

You use IBeam.Services base services and want AutoMapper for entity/model mapping.
You already maintain AutoMapper profiles in your application.
You want services to depend on IModelMapper<TEntity,TModel> instead of AutoMapper directly.

What This Package Contains

Area	Type(s)	Purpose
Mapper adapter	`AutoMapperModelMapper<TEntity,TModel>`	Implements IBeam model mapping through AutoMapper.
DI	`AddIBeamAutoMapper(params Assembly[] profileAssemblies)`	Registers AutoMapper and the IBeam mapper abstraction.

Architecture Fit

API <-- DTO/model object --> Service <-- Entity --> Repository

Mapping supports the service boundary. Entities should represent persistence shape. Models/DTOs can represent the API or service-facing shape. Business rules should not be hidden in AutoMapper profiles.

Quick Start

using IBeam.Services.AutoMapper;

builder.Services.AddIBeamAutoMapper(typeof(ProductMappingProfile).Assembly);

Example profile:

public sealed class ProductMappingProfile : Profile
{
    public ProductMappingProfile()
    {
        CreateMap<ProductEntity, ProductDto>().ReverseMap();
    }
}

Example service registration:

builder.Services.AddScoped<ProductsService>();

The base service can then receive IModelMapper<ProductEntity, ProductDto>.

Data Storage

This package does not create tables or repositories. It only maps objects.

Service Operations, Auditing, And Permissions

Mapping is not an operation boundary. Service methods should still be tagged with [IBeamOperation] and should pass database-shaped before/after data into audit calls when needed.

Extended Docs And Agent Guidance

AI prompt: .agent/prompt.md
Root implementation guide: ../.agent/implementation-guide.md
Service logging and audit: ../docs/service-logging-and-audit.md
Service operation permissions: ../docs/service-operation-permissions.md

Agents should keep mapping straightforward and put validation/rules in services.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
Mapper fails at runtime	Profile assembly was not registered	Pass the profile assembly to `AddIBeamAutoMapper`.
Business behavior is hard to debug	Rules live in mapping profiles	Move rules into the service layer.
Audit data looks like API output	DTO was audited instead of entity	Audit entity-shaped before/after data.
