It provides compile-time safety checks and ease of use by leveraging extension methods. - - -## Installation -``` -dotnet add package BlueWest.EfMethods --prerelease -``` - -## Usage -BlueWest.EfMethods relies on a set of attributes to instruct it on how to generate the mappings. To start, declare the destination class as `partial` and annotate it with `MapFrom` attribute. As its name implies, `MapFrom` attribute tells the library what the source class you want to map from is. - -```c# -using BlueWest.EfMethods; - -namespace App.ViewModels -{ - [MapFrom(typeof(App.Data.Models.User))] - public partial class UserViewModel - { - public string FirstName { get; } - - public string LastName { get; } - - [IgnoreProperty] - public string FullName { get; set; } - } -} -``` - -To get an instance of `UserViewModel` from the `User` class, you can use any of the following methods: - -```c# -var user = new User(id: 10) { FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe" }; - -var vm = user.ToUserViewModel(); // A generated extension method for User class. - -// OR -vm = new UserViewModel(user); // A generated contructor. - -// OR -vm = UserViewModel.From(user); // A generated factory method. -``` - -> Please refer to [sample console app](https://github.com/mrtaikandi/BlueWest.EfMethods/tree/master/test/TestConsoleApp) for a more complete example. - -## Available Attributes -### IgnoreProperty -By default, BlueWest.EfMethods will include all properties with the same name (case-sensitive), whether read-only or not, in the mapping unless annotating them with the `IgnoreProperty` attribute. -```c# -[IgnoreProperty] -public string FullName { get; set; } -``` - -### MapProperty -This attribute gives you more control over the way the annotated property should get mapped. For instance, if the annotated property should use a property in the source class with a different name. - -```c# -[MapProperty(SourcePropertyName = "Id")] -public int Key { get; set; } -``` - -### MapTypeConverter -A compilation error gets raised by default if the source and destination properties types are not implicitly convertible, but to convert the incompatible source type to the desired destination type, `MapTypeConverter` can be used. - -This attribute will accept a type that implements `ITypeConverter` interface. - -```c# -[MapFrom(typeof(User))] -public partial class UserViewModel -{ - public DateTimeOffset RegisteredAt { get; set; } - - [IgnoreProperty] - public ProfileViewModel Profile { get; set; } - - [MapTypeConverter(typeof(IdConverter))] - [MapProperty(SourcePropertyName = nameof(User.Id))] - public string Key { get; } - - private class IdConverter : ITypeConverter - { - public string Convert(int source, object[] converterParameters) => $"{source:X}"; - } -} -``` \ No newline at end of file +Template based CRUD methods source generator for Entity Framework. \ No newline at end of file
