Step To Use AutoMapper with ASP.NET Core.
Step 1. Installing AutoMapper.Extensions.Microsoft.DependencyInjection from NuGet Package.
Step 2. Create a Folder in Solution to keep Mappings with Name "Mappings".
Step 3. After adding Mapping folder we have added a class with Name "MappingProfile" this name can anything unique and good to understand.
In this class, we are going to Maintain all Mappings.
Step 4. Initializing Mapper in Startup "ConfigureServices"
In Startup Class, we Need to Initialize Profile which we have created and also Register AutoMapper Service.
Mapper.Initialize(cfg => cfg.AddProfile<MappingProfile>());
services.AddAutoMapper();
Code Snippet to show ConfigureServices Method where we need to Initialize and Register AutoMapper.
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
Configuration = configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.Configure<CookiePolicyOptions>(options =>
{
// This lambda determines whether user consent for non-essential cookies is needed for a given request.
options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
});
// Start Registering and Initializing AutoMapper
Mapper.Initialize(cfg => cfg.AddProfile<MappingProfile>());
services.AddAutoMapper();
// End Registering and Initializing AutoMapper
services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
}}
Step 5. Get Output.
To Get Mapped result we need to call AutoMapper.Mapper.Map and pass Proper Destination and Source.
AutoMapper.Mapper.Map<Destination>(source);
CodeSnippet
[HttpPost]
public void Post([FromBody] SchemeMasterViewModel schemeMaster)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var mappedresult = AutoMapper.Mapper.Map<SchemeMaster>(schemeMaster);
}
}
