Writing mapping methods is a machine job. Do not waste your time, let Mapster do it.
PM> Install-Package Mapster
Mapster creates the destination object and maps values to it.
var destObject = sourceObject.Adapt<Destination>();
You create the object, Mapster maps to the object.
sourceObject.Adapt(destObject);
Mapster also provides extensions to map queryables.
using (MyDbContext context = new MyDbContext())
{
// Build a Select Expression from DTO
var destinations = context.Sources.ProjectToType<Destination>().ToList();
// Versus creating by hand:
var destinations = context.Sources.Select(c => new Destination {
Id = c.Id,
Name = c.Name,
Surname = c.Surname,
....
})
.ToList();
}
No need to write your own DTO classes. Mapster provides Mapster.Tool to help you generating models. And if you would like to have explicit mapping, Mapster also generates mapper class for you.
[AdaptTo("[name]Dto"), GenerateMapper]
public class Student {
...
}
Then Mapster will generate:
public class StudentDto {
...
}
public static class StudentMapper {
public static StudentDto AdaptToDto(this Student poco) { ... }
public static StudentDto AdaptTo(this Student poco, StudentDto dto) { ... }
public static Expression<Func<Student, StudentDto>> ProjectToDto => ...
}

Mapster was designed to be efficient on both speed and memory. You could gain a 4x performance improvement whilst using only 1/3 of memory. And you could gain up to 12x faster performance with
- Roslyn Compiler
- FEC
- Code generation

Step-into debugging lets you debug your mapping and inspect values just like your code.
Code generation allows you to
- Validate mapping at compile time
- Getting raw performance
- Seeing your mapping code & debugging
- Finding usage of your models' properties
There are currently two tools which you can choose based on your preferences.
- Mapster.Tool NEW!
- TextTemplate
