Config instance

Config instance

You may wish to have different settings in different scenarios. If you would not like to apply setting at a static level, Mapster also provides setting instance configurations.

var config = new TypeAdapterConfig();
config.Default.Ignore("Id");

For instance configurations, you can use the same NewConfig and ForType methods that are used at the global level with the same behavior: NewConfig drops any existing configuration and ForType creates or enhances a configuration.

config.NewConfig<TSource, TDestination>()
        .Map(dest => dest.FullName,
            src => string.Format("{0} {1}", src.FirstName, src.LastName));

config.ForType<TSource, TDestination>()
        .Map(dest => dest.FullName,
            src => string.Format("{0} {1}", src.FirstName, src.LastName));

You can apply a specific config instance by passing it to the Adapt method. (NOTE: please reuse your config instance to prevent recompilation)

var result = src.Adapt<TDestination>(config);

Or to an Mapper instance.

var mapper = new Mapper(config);
var result = mapper.Map<TDestination>(src);

Clone

If you would like to create configuration instance from existing configuration, you can use Clone method. For example, if you would like to clone from global setting.

var newConfig = TypeAdapterConfig.GlobalSettings.Clone();

Or clone from existing configuration instance

var newConfig = oldConfig.Clone();

Fork

Fork is similar to Clone, but Fork will allow you to keep configuration and mapping in the same location. See (https://github.com/MapsterMapper/Mapster/wiki/Config-location) for more info.

var forked = mainConfig.Fork(config => 
    config.ForType<Poco, Dto>()
            .Map(dest => dest.code, src => src.Id));

var dto = poco.Adapt<Dto>(forked);
