I am newbie of ASP.NET BoilerPlate (ABP) and I am trying to understand how to create custom mappings using AutoMapper.
if I have two classes like the following where I want the property AB to be automapped as a join of A and B:
[AutoMapTo(typeof(DestClass)] // <= do I need it for this case?
public class SourceClass {
public string A { get; set; }
public string B { get; set; }
}
public class DestClass {
public string AB { get; set; }
}
I image I have to init automapper properly by using this kind of code:
Mapper.CreateMap<SourceClass, DestClass>()
.ForMember(dest => dest.AB,
opts => opts.MapFrom(src => (src.A + ", " + src.B)));
My question is: As I am in my web module and the classes are used by my AppService, where do I place the automapper init code above? Also, do I need to decorate the classes with the [AutoMap] attrib (I think, no)?
Thank you

I try to reply by myself hoping some feedback about my solution.
- In MyProject.Application project I injected my Automapper custom maps by registering my mapperConfiguration. Note that I directly used the Castle IOC register methods because I did not find any useful registering method for objects in ABP.
[DependsOn(typeof(MyProjectCoreModule), typeof(AbpAutoMapperModule))] public class MyProjectApplicationModule : AbpModule { public override void Initialize() { IocManager.RegisterAssemblyByConvention(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()); // --- MY CODE var mapperConfiguration = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => { cfg.AddProfile(new MyProjectMapperProfile()); // <= here my custom mapping }); var mapper = mapperConfiguration.CreateMapper(); IocManager.IocContainer.Register( Castle.MicroKernel.Registration.Component.For<IMapper>().Instance(mapper) ); // --- MY CODE } }- I used my mapper as injection in my Application Service:
public class UserAppService : MyNewHouseAppServiceBase, IUserAppService { . . . public UserAppService(IRepository<User, long> userRepository, AutoMapper.IMapper mapper) { . . . } public async Task<ListResultOutput<UserListDto>> GetUsers() { var users = await _userRepository.GetAllListAsync(); return new ListResultOutput<UserListDto>( // USE THE INJECTED MAPPER _mapper.Map<List<UserListDto>>(users) ); } }What do you think about this solution?
