eQuantic.Mapper.Generator 1.1.4

eQuantic.Mapper Library

The eQuantic Mapper provides all the implementation needed to use the Mapper Pattern

To install eQuantic.Mapper, run the following command in the Package Manager Console

Install-Package eQuantic.Mapper

If you choose to use generated mappers, install the Generator package below

Install-Package eQuantic.Mapper.Generator

Example of implementation

The models

public class ExampleA
{
    public string Id { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public string Date { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

public class ExampleB
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; } = string.Empty;
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    
    [MapFrom(typeof(ExampleA), nameof(ExampleA.Id))]
    public string Code { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

The mapper

public class ExampleMapper : IMapper<ExampleA, ExampleB>
{
    public ExampleB? Map(ExampleA? source)
    {
        return Map(source, new ExampleB());
    }

    public ExampleB? Map(ExampleA? source, ExampleB? destination)
    {
        if (source == null)
        {
            return null;
        }

        if (destination == null)
        {
            return Map(source);
        }
        
        destination.Id = source.Id;
        destination.Name = source.Name;
        destination.Date = source.Date;
        
        return destination;
    }
}

The mapper with context

public class ExampleContext
{
    public string Code { get; set; }
}

public class ExampleMapper : IMapper<ExampleA, ExampleB, ExampleContext>
{
    public ExampleContext Context { get; set; }
    
    public ExampleB? Map(ExampleA? source)
    {
        return Map(source, new ExampleB());
    }

    public ExampleB? Map(ExampleA? source, ExampleB? destination)
    {
        if (source == null)
        {
            return null;
        }

        if (destination == null)
        {
            return Map(source);
        }
        
        destination.Id = source.Id;
        destination.Name = source.Name;
        destination.Date = source.Date;
        
        if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Context.Code))
        {
            destination.Code = Context.Code;
        }
        return destination;
    }
}

Auto-Generated Code

If you want that the mapper to be auto-generated, you need to use the MapperAttribute and partial definition into the class mapper

[Mapper(typeof(ExampleA), typeof(ExampleB))]
public partial class ExampleMapper : IMapper
{
}

The application

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddMappers();
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/", (IMapperFactory mapperFactory) =>
{
    var mapper = mapperFactory.GetMapper<ExampleA, ExampleB>()!;
    var exampleA = new ExampleA
    {
        Id = "1",
        Name = "Test",
        Date = "2023-01-01"
    };
    var exampleB = mapper.Map(exampleA);
    return exampleB;
});

app.Run();

Manual customization

If you need customize the auto-generated mapper, just override Before or/and After methods:

[Mapper(typeof(ExampleA), typeof(ExampleB))]
public partial class ExampleMapper : IMapper
{
    partial void AfterMap(ExampleA source, ExampleB destination)
    {
        if(source.Name == "Test")
        {
            destination.Name = "Empty";
        }
    }
}

Debugging

Inside MapperGenerator on Initialize method use:

#if DEBUG
    SpinWait.SpinUntil(() => Debugger.IsAttached);
#endif
