AutoAssignment - Simplified Object Assignment Library

A Light weight and simple alternative to AutoMapper

AutoAssignment is a lightweight and easy-to-use library that simplifies the process of object assignment and creation in C#. It provides a generic approach to handle complex object assignments without the need for writing repetitive code.

Features

  • Assign values from one object to another effortlessly.
  • Create new objects based on the source object's data.
  • Supports any type of objects with flexible assignment rules.

Use Cases

  1. DTO (Data Transfer Objects) Mapping
  2. Entity Framework: Entity to ViewModel Mapping
  3. Copying Data Between Similar Objects
  4. Object Cloning and Prototyping
  5. Unit Testing

Getting Started

To get started with AutoAssignment, follow these simple steps:

  1. Install the AutoAssignment package from NuGet.
  2. Import the AutoAssignment namespace in your C# file. 
    using AutoAssignment;
  3. Define relationships between types using the static methods DefineCreation and DefineAssignment somewhere in your startup.cs or equivalent program entrypoint. 
    Assignment<SourceClass, DestinationClass>.DefineCreation(source => new DestinationClass(source.Prop1, source.Prop2+1));
Assignment<SourceClass, DestinationClass>.DefineAssignment((source, destination) =>
{
   destination.Name = source.Name;
   destination.Age = source.Age;
   // Add more assignments as needed

   return destination;
});
  4. Start using AutoAssignment to create new objects or assign values from one object to another. 
    // Create a new DestinationClass instance based on the SourceClass object
var destinationObject = Assignment<SourceClass, DestinationClass>.From(sourceObject);

// Assign values from the sourceObject to an existing destinationObject
destinationObject = Assignment<SourceClass, DestinationClass>.From(sourceObject, destinationObject);
