Mapper is a simple property mapper for c# Converter classes. We started with AutoMapper but decided it required configuration that turned into black magic.
Here we present a simple mapper that copies values from properties in type A to type B if the names and property types match. We will add to this project as our needs grow.
User source = new User();
Customer destination = source.MapTo<Customer>();
User source = new User();
Customer destination = new Customer();
destination.MapFrom(source);
User source = new User();
Customer destination = new Customer();
new SimpleMapper().Map(source, destination);
const int age = 26;
const string name = "James";
var user = new User { Name = name, Age = age };
var customer = _someConverter.Convert(user);
var expectedCustomer = new Customer { Name = name, Age = age };
var tester = new MappingTester<Customer>();
var result = tester.Verify(customer, expectedCustomer)
result.IsValid.ShouldBeTrue();
The build script requires Ruby with rake installed.
- Run
InstallGems.batto get the ruby dependencies (only needs to be run once per computer) - open a command prompt to the root folder and type
raketo execute rakefile.rb
If you do not have ruby:
- open src\MvbaMapper.sln with Visual Studio and build the solution
