GiG.Core.ObjectMapping.AutoMapper

This Library provides an API to register an object mapper in your application using AutoMapper.

Basic Usage

The below code needs to be added to the Startup.cs. This will register an the Object Mapper, together with AutoMapper and any assemblies containing Profiles.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddObjectMapper(typeof(ProfileTypeFromAssembly1), typeof(ProfileTypeFromAssembly2));
}

Now you can inject AutoMapper at runtime into your services/controllers:

public class EmployeesController
{
    private readonly IObjectMapper _mapper;

    public EmployeesController(IObjectMapper mapper) => _mapper = mapper;

    [ProducesResponseType((int)HttpStatusCode.Created)]
    [ProducesResponseType((int)HttpStatusCode.Conflict)]
    [ProducesResponseType((int)HttpStatusCode.BadRequest)]
    public async Task<ActionResult<EmployeeResponse>> Post(EmployeeRequest request)
    {
	    var model = _mapper.Map<Employee>(request);
            ...
            ...
    }
}
