I recently met with an automapper. I have a question, how i can map multiple objects from my repostiory in one DTO.
public QuestionProfile()
{
CreateMap<Question, GrammarQuestionDTO>()
.ForMember(g => g.Question, q => q.MapFrom(source => source.Text)).ReverseMap();
CreateMap<List<GrammarQuestionDTO>, TestDTO>()
.ForMember(t => t.GrammarQuestion, g => g.MapFrom(source => source)).ReverseMap();
CreateMap<Question, AuditionQuestionDTO>()
.ForMember(a => a.Question, q => q.MapFrom(source => source.Text))
.ForMember(a => a.Url, q => q.MapFrom(source => source.AudioFile.Url)).ReverseMap();
CreateMap<List<AuditionQuestionDTO>, TestDTO>()
.ForMember(t => t.AuditionQuestion, a => a.MapFrom(source => source)).ReverseMap();
}
how can I map all these 4 objects?
public async Task<TestDTO> GenerateTest(LevelType level)
{
var grammarQuestions = await _questionRepository.GetGrammarQuestionAsync(level);
var auditionQuestions = await _questionRepository.GetAuditionQuestionAsync(level);
var essayTopic = await _questionRepository.GetEssayTopicAsync(level);
var speakingTopic = await _questionRepository.GetSpeakingTopicAsync(level);
var test = _mapper.Map<TestDTO>(grammarQuestions);
test = _mapper.Map(test, auditionQuestions); //there will be a conversion error
return _mapper.Map<TestDTO>(grammarQuestions);
}
You need to map it without list, just map it one to one and AutoMapper will handle the collections:
CreateMap<AuditionQuestionDTO, TestDTO>()
.ForMember(t => t.AuditionQuestion,
a => a.MapFrom(source => source.<PropertyName>)).ReverseMap();
And then on the map you should:
test = _mapper.Map<List<AuditionQuestionDTO>>(test, auditionQuestions);
