I am trying to map a string to a complex type. A string that represents an account number. The complex type will have a a formatted acc no as provide below.

"account": {
            "id": null,
            "accountNumberFormatted": null
        },

the boundry will eventually become json as above.

I have tried adding a map for string -> account complex type... nothing.

I'm I missing something? With Automapper I'd create a resolver or converter.. I am trying to see if this mapping framework will be good for our project moving forward.

Help.

If your source/target type can be JObject instead of string, you can use Json plugin.

Or if you have specific destination type, then you can use MapWith

TypeAdapterConfig<string, ComplexType>.NewConfig()
            .MapWith(str => JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ComplexType>(str));

But if you would like to map string from/to generic complex type, you might need to create custom adapter. Pls see JsonAdapter as an example.
