I have a scenario where I have to map a DTO to a domain object using AutoMapper. This mapping needs some complex managment so I have created a Custom Value Resolver. I want to get Foo
from FooDTO
. The only difference between these two objects is that Foo
have a ICollection<Child>
and FooDTO
have a TrackedData<ChildDTO>
, where TrackeData<T>
is an object with 3 ICollection<T>
. This is my simplified scenario:
public class TrackedData<T>
{
public ICollection<T> Updated { get; set; }
public ICollection<T> Created { get; set; }
public ICollection<T> Deleted { get; set; }
public TrackedData()
{
Updated = new List<T>();
Created = new List<T>();
Deleted = new List<T>();
}
}
public class Foo
{
private List<Child> _childs;
public string Name { get; set; }
public ICollection<Child> Childs
{
get
{
if (_childs == null)
_childs = new List<Child>();
return _childs;
}
set
{
_childs = (List<Child>)value;
}
}
}
public class Child
{
public string Description { get; set; }
}
public class FooDTO
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public TrackedData<ChildDTO> Childs { get; set; }
}
public class ChildDTO
{
public string Description { get; set; }
}
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Mapper.CreateMap(typeof(TrackedData<>), typeof(TrackedData<>));
Mapper.CreateMap<ChildDTO, Child>();
Mapper.CreateMap<FooDTO, Foo>()
.ForMember(d => d.Childs, opt => opt.ResolveUsing<TrackedDataResolver<ChildDTO, Child>>());
FooDTO fooDTO = CreateFakeFooDTO();
Foo foo = Mapper.Map<FooDTO, Foo>(fooDTO);
}
private static FooDTO CreateFakeFooDTO() { /* omitted for simplicity */ }
private static TrackedData<ChildDTO> CreateFakeTrackedDataChildDTO() { /* omitted for simplicity */ }
private static ICollection<ChildDTO> CreateFakeListChildDTO() { /* omitted for simplicity */ }
private static ChildDTO CrateFakeChildDTO(){ /* omitted for simplicity */ }
}
public class TrackedDataResolver<TSource, TDestination> : ValueResolver<TrackedData<TSource>, ICollection<TDestination>>
{
protected override ICollection<TDestination> ResolveCore(TrackedData<TSource> source)
{
TrackedData<TDestination> trackedDestination = new TrackedData<TDestination>();
ICollection<TDestination> destination = new List<TDestination>();
trackedDestination = Mapper.Map<TrackedData<TSource>, TrackedData<TDestination>>(source);
foreach (var o in trackedDestination.Created)
{
// Do stuff...
destination.Add(o);
}
foreach (var o in trackedDestination.Updated)
{
// Do stuff...
destination.Add(o);
}
foreach (var o in trackedDestination.Deleted)
{
// Do stuff...
destination.Add(o);
}
return destination;
}
}
When this line is executed
Foo foo = Mapper.Map<FooDTO, Foo>(fooDTO);
I get this error:
{"Value supplied is of type AutoMapperDemo.FooDTO but expected AutoMapperDemo.TrackedData'1[AutoMapperDemo.ChildDTO]. Change the value resolver source type, or redirect the source value supplied to the value resolver using FromMember.\\r\\nValue supplied is of type AutoMapperDemo.FooDTO but expected AutoMapperDemo.TrackedData'1[AutoMapperDemo.ChildDTO].Change the value resolver source type, or redirect the source value supplied to the value resolver using FromMember."}
Source code is avaiable in Github: https://github.com/josmonver/AutoMapperValueResolverIssue.git Any idea why am I getting this error?
Instead of bringing heavy logic into your mapper you may implement something like UnionAll
method (Updated + Created + Deleted) in your TrackedData<T>
class and map it:
Mapper.CreateMap<FooDTO, Foo>()
.ForMember(d => d.Childs, opt => opt.MapFrom(src => src.UnionAll()));
