##What is GenericMapper?

It is a component that helps developers fix this problem brings us to map one object to another . #Why use GenericMapper? All developers agree that all we need do is apply a logic correctly, make good code and deliver a system with quality but as well we agree is that there are things that take us long but necessary , eg create DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) and to map an entity to a DTO is one of them .

It is simple to use and is very efficient.

#Using GenericMapper We have a User entity with properties and one of those properties is another entity called Address

public class User
{
	public string FirstName {get; set; }
	public string LastName {get; set; }
	public Address _Address {get; set; }
}

public class Address
{
	public string Street {get; set; }
	public string Number { get; set; }
	public string State {get; set; }
}

And we are interested in a User Dto containing only first name and state .

public class UserDto
{
    [ MapAttribute ( "FirstName")]
    public string Name {get; set; }
    
    [ MapAttribute ( "_Address.State" ) ]
    public string State {get; set; }
}

With this mapping GenericMapper may already work, and is this way.

var userDto = GenericMapper.MapObject <User, UserDto> ( user) ;
