问题


With Automapper, is it possible to project a smaller object onto a larger one?

For example, a controller accepts data as a ViewModel instance. I would then need to create a record in a database. So I would project this View Model onto a Domain Model. Once I have a Domain Model instance populated with View Model data I would then manually populate the additional fields in the Domain Model before storing data in the database.

Is it possible to do so?

Thanks.

Yes this is perfectly possible. Just create a mapping from the ViewModel to the domain model and use Ignore() to ignore non-existing properties:

.ForMember(dest => dest.PropertyOnDomainModel, opt => opt.Ignore()) 

Small example:

public ActionResult Register(UserModel model)
{
    User user = Mapper.Map<User>(model);    
    user.Password = PasswordHelper.GenerateHashedPassword();
    _db.Users.Add(user);
    _db.SaveChanges();
}

With this configured mapping:

CreateMap<UserModel, User>()
    .ForMember(dest => dest.Password, opt => opt.Ignore());

This makes sure that the password won't be overridden by AutoMapper.
