Usage

var client = Reflector.Create<Client>()
    .Set("Id", "a65s4d6a5s")
    .Set("Domain", "www.some-client.com")
    .Set("RegisteredAt", DateTime.UtcNow)
    .Set("platforms", new[] { 1, 2, 3 }) // field
    .GetInstance();

// Or supply your own instance
var another = Reflector.Using(new Client())
    .Set("Id", "a65s4d6a5s")
    .Set("Domain", "www.some-client.com")
    .GetInstance();

Key points:

• The class must provide a parameterless constructor (it may be private);
• Property/field names are case-insensitive;
• Property/fields can be private;
• Fields are searched with the following patterns: field, _field, mField, m_field;
• Does not work with const and readonly fields, nor properties without set.

Installation

Install from NuGet at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Reflector.Mapper

Performance notes

The implementation has been optimized with caching.

The first time a constructor, property setter or field setter are used, Reflector builds and caches the constructor or setter as a delegate, which allows for repeating the operations in a static fashion. This means that subsequent calls are almost as fast as instantiating classes and setting properties/fields by hand (i.e. without a mapping helper).
