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.

1. Run InstallGems.bat to get the ruby dependencies (only needs to be run once per computer)
2. open a command prompt to the root folder and type rake to execute rakefile.rb

If you do not have ruby:

1. open src\MvbaMapper.sln with Visual Studio and build the solution
