How to scan and auto-configure profiles in AutoMapper?

Question

Is there any way to auto-configue Automapper to scan for all profiles in namespace/assembly? What I would like to do is to add mapping profiles to AutoMapper from given asse

Answer 1

In version 9 of AutoMapper it can be done this way

var configuration = new MapperConfiguration(cfg =>
{
    // Add all Profiles from the Assembly containing this Type
    cfg.AddMaps(typeof(MyApp.SomeClass));
});

If you are using ASP.NET Core there is a helper extension to register all Profiles in Startup.ConfigureServices

// UI project
services.AddAutoMapper(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

or

// Another assembly that contains a type
services.AddAutoMapper(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(MyApp.SomeClass)));
