Mapping from the source object
Thundarr1974 opened this issue · comments
When mapping to a Target field there's often a need to access multiple fields from the Source and today this requires creating a custom mapping method like so:
public Address OrderToAddress(Order order)
{
var ret = MapToAddress(order);
ret.FullName = string.Concat(order.FirstName, " ", order.LastName);
return ret;
}
[MapperIgnoreTarget(nameof(Address.FullName))]
private partial Address MapToAddress(Order order);
I propose a new [MapSource] (or some other name) attribute that supports using the Source object as the 'from' parameter like so:
[MapSource(nameof(Address.FullName))]
public partial Address OrderToAddress(Order order);
private string MapToFullName(Order order) => string.Concat(order.FirstName, " ", order.LastName);
