Generate complete mapper
⭐ Generate complete mapper
MappingGenerator provides code actions for generating complete mapper class with desired mapping methods. There are two code actions for that purpose:
Generate mapper for- Available from the context action on type. Automatically use the selected type as a one of mapping sides. The second type should be selected via config window.Generate complete mapper- Available inside the namespace context, no need to have access to any type source code. Both mapping sides should be selected via config window.
Generate Mapper config window allows us to add the following kinds of method to mapper type:
- Map A to B - pure mapping method that converts type
Ato typeB. Method signature:B Map(A source) - Map B to A - pure mapping method that converts type
Bto typeA. Method signature:A Map(B source) - Update A with B - mapping method that updates arguments of type
Awith values from argument of typeB. Method signature:void Update(B source, A target) - Update B with A - mapping method that updates arguments of type
Bwith values from argument of typeA. Method signature:void Update(A source, B target) - Project A to B - Linq projection from type
Ato typeB. Method signature:IQueryable<B> ProjectTo(IQueryable<A> source) - Project B to A - Linq projection from type
Bto typeA. Method signature:IQueryable<A> ProjectTo(IQueryable<B> source)
Each method can be generated as:
- Mapper static member
- Mapper instance member
- Mapper instance member + declared as a part of mapping interface
- Extension method for mapped types
Example usage of Generate complete mapper can look as follows:
