Source contains a property bag in a Dictionary. Can Automapper map the entries in the Dictionary to individual properties of the Destination based upon matching the dictionary keys with the names of the properties on the destination type?
Example:
public class Destination
{
public int ProdNumber;
public string Title;
}
public class Source
{
public Dictionary<string, object> values = new Dictionary<string, object>();
}
where the values Dictionary will have two entries, one with a key of "ProdNumber" and one with a key value of "Title". There will likely be entries in the dictionary that have keys that don't match any property in the Destination and they should be ignored. There will be multiple properties of each primitive data type (int, string, etc) - so I presume I can't use a simple set of TypeConverters.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris
Unfortunately it is not possible at the moment, but it is planned for the next version. Read this thread as it discusses the plans and a work around.

I'm new to JOOQ and currently fail to map a joined query to Map<K, List<V>>: the list always only contains one element.
Here's my code:
DSL.using(...)
.select(ORDER.fields())
.select(ORDER_ITEM_ARTICLE.fields())
.from(ORDER)
.leftOuterJoin(ORDER_ITEM_ARTICLE).on(ORDER.ID.eq(ORDER_ITEM_ARTICLE.ORDER_ID))
// to Map<InOutOrder, List<OrderItemArticle>>
.fetchGroups(
r -> r.into(ORDER).into(InOutOrder.class),
r -> r.into(ORDER_ITEM_ARTICLE).into(OrderItemArticle.class)
)
// map to InOutOrder
.entrySet().stream().map( e -> {
// e.getValue() always returns list with only 1 element?!
e.getKey().articles = e.getValue();
return e.getKey();
})
.collect(Collectors.toList())
;
Say I have 1 row in ORDER and 2 corresponding rows in ORDER_ITEM_ARTICLE. Running the SQL returned by .getSQL() (after .fetchGroups()), returns me 2 rows as expected, so I assumed the fetchGroups() call will populate my list with two entries as well?!
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Update:
As requested, the InOutOrder class:
public class InOutOrder extends Order {
public List<OrderItemArticle> articles;
public List<OrderItemOther> others;
public List<OrderItemCost> costs;
public List<OrderContact> contacts;
public List<EmailJob> emailJobs;
}
So this is just an extension of the JOOQ POJO class and is used for JSON communication with the API clients...
fetchGroups() simply puts objects in a LinkedHashMap. You have to adhere to the usual Map contract, which means implementing equals() and hashCode(). Without it, each object you're creating (or which jOOQ is creating for you) will use identity comparison, so you get every "value" only once in the result.
I have a map1 which holds the information as
[40256942,6] [60246792,5]
Now that I want to prepare a map2 that holds information such as
itemNo, 40256942
qty, 6
itemNo, 60246792
qty, 5
to prepare final information as json
“partialArticlesInfo”: [{itemNo:”40256942”, availQty:”6”}, {itemNo:”60246792”, availQty:”5”}]
I am trying to iterate map1 to retrieve values and set that against the key. But I am getting only one entry which is last one. Is there any way , I get the new map with entries such as mentioned above
Map<String, String> partialArticlesInfo = new HashMap<String,String>();
Map<String, String> partialArticlesTempMap = null;
for (Map.Entry<String,String> entry : partialStockArticlesQtyMap.entrySet())
{
partialArticlesTempMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
partialArticlesTempMap.put("itemNo",entry.getKey());
partialArticlesTempMap.put("availQty",entry.getValue());
partialArticlesInfo.putAll(partialArticlesTempMap);
}
In Java (I'm assuming you're using Java, in the future it would be helpful to specify that) and every other language I know of, a map holds mappings between keys and values. Only one mapping is allowed per key. In your "map2", the keys are "itemNo" and "availQty". So what is happening is that your for loop sets the values for the first entry, and then is overwriting them with the data from the second entry, which is why that is the only one you see. Look at Java - Map and Map - Java 8 for more info.
I don't understand why you are trying to put the data into a map, you could just put it straight into JSON with something like this:
JSONArray partialArticlesInfo = new JSONArray();
for (Map.Entry<String,String> entry : partialStockArticlesQtyMap.entrySet()) {
JSONObject stockEntry = new JSONObject();
stockEntry.put("itemNo", entry.getKey());
stockEntry.put("availQty", entry.getValue());
partialArticlesInfo.put(stockEntry);
}
JSONObject root = new JSONObject();
root.put("partialArticlesInfo",partialArticlesInfo);
This will take "map1" (partialStockArticlesQtyMap in your code) and create a JSON object exactly like your example - no need to have map2 as an intermediate step. It loops over each entry in map1, creates a JSON object representing it and adds it to a JSON array, which is finally added to a root JSON object as "partialArticlesInfo".
The exact code may be slightly different depending on which JSON library you are using - check the docs for the specifics.
I agree with Brendan. Another solution would be otherwise to store in the Set or List objects like the following.
class Item {
Long itemNo;
int quantity;
public int hashCode() {
Long.hashCode(itemNo) + Integer.hashCode(quantity);
}
public int equals(Object other) {
other instanceOf Item && other.itemNo == this.itemNo && other.quantity = this.quantity;
}
}
}
then you can use the JsonArray method described by him to get the Json string in output
This means that adding new variables to the object won't require any more effort to generate the Json
The data being returned from a stored procedure has 3 columns of repeating data:
Name | Address | PhoneNumber | UniqueCol1 | UniqueCol2
Ideally I want my model to show that there is repeated data by only storing the values once and have a collection of the unique data.
public class MyViewModel
{
public string Name {get;set;}
public string Address {get;set;}
public string PhoneNumber {get;set;}
public List<MyModel> UniqueData {get;set;}
public class MyModel
{
public string UniqueCol1 {get;set;}
public string UniqueCol2 {get;set;}
}
}
This means I want to map a collection of results to a single object of MyViewModel:
return Mapper.Map<List<StoredProcedureObject>, MyViewModel>(result);
This is where I get my error as I assume I have some configuration that I need to do:
Mapping types:
List`1 -> MyViewModel
Any ideas on the missing step to get this to work?
Automapper is only able to flatten your structure into something simpler. But it's not possible to map a simple class to something more specific.
I would suggest to take only the first entry in your table to fill your base fields like Name, Address, PhoneNumber and iterate over your results to fill your UniqueData List.
I don't see an easier way, because with each possible mapping and without using seperate loops you will get your base data multiple times.
If you don't mind to use another tool, maybe you will have a look at ValueInjecter. I heard you can use this tool for two-way-mappings.
I am trying to add all elements of an object into ArrayList. elements of the object are of different type.
e.g. object Employee having attributes like emp_id,name,address,DOB.
I want to store each attribute as an object in an ArrayList. Like,
ArrayList[1] = Employee.emp_id
ArrayList[2] = Employee.name
ArrayList[3] = Employee.address
I want to do it dynamically. Like, in future more attributes are added in this object, without doing a manual work. Is there a way to create an array List?
ArrayList must be of the same type. You can have an ArrayList of type in which you can do what you are doing, since all objects in Java extend Object. If you are trying to store different Object types in an arraylist, however, this is not possible.
You may know that first part, just was a little unclear in your post.
Here's how to do it with objects using reflection:
//make sure you import java.lang.reflect.*
public void addMyFields(Employee e){
ArrayList<Object> list = new ArrayList();
for (Field field : emp.getClass().getDeclaredFields())
{
field.setAccessible(true);
list.add(field.get(emp);
}
}
Using Automapper, how do you handle the mapping of a property value on an object to an instance of a string. Basically I have a list of Role objects and I want to use Automapper to map the content of each "name" property to a corresponding list of string (so I just end up with a list of strings). I'm sure it has an obvious answer, but I can't find the mapping that I need to add to "CreateMap" to get it to work.
An example of the relevant code is shown below:
public class Role
{
public Guid Id{get;set;}
public string Name{get;set;}
...
...
}
// What goes in here?
Mapper.CreateMap<Role, string>().ForMember(....);
var allRoles = Mapper.Map<IList<Role>, IList<string>>(roles);
I love Automapper (and use it in a number of projects), but wouldn't this be easier with a simple LINQ statement?
var allRoles = from r in roles select r.Name
The AutoMapper way of accomplishing this:
Mapper.CreateMap<Role, String>().ConvertUsing(r => r.Name);
