Parameterization in nested mappings

[kristian....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a question about passing parameters using ProjectTo<SampleViewModel>(), not to "SampleViewModel" but to nested mapped model.

I have custom mapping configuration and create all configurations in the view-models, but sometimes I need to pass parameters not only to the top view model but also to the nested ones.

Example for mappings: here

Scenario:

Controller:

var userId = this.User.Identity.GetUserId();

db.ForumQuestions.ProjectTo<ForumQuestionViewModel>(new { userId });

ForumQuestionViewModel : IMapFrom<ForumQuestion>, IHaveCustomMappings

{

    public string Title { get; set; }

    public string Content { get; set; }

    

    public bool IsReportedByUser { get; set;}

    public IEnumerable<ForumAnswerViewModel> Answers { get; set; }

     public void CreateMappings(IConfiguration configuration)

     {

           var userId = string.Empty;

           configuration.CreateMap<ForumQuestion, ForumQuestionViewModel>()

                .ForMember(m => m.IsReportedByUser, opt => opt.MapFrom(e => e.Reports.Any(r => r.ReporterId == userId)));

     }

}

Let's assume that we need to know if the current user has reported this question for something.

So far so good

This works, but I want to pass parameters to answers to see if the current user has reported the answer too.

ForumAnswerViewModel : IMapFrom<Answer>, IHaveCustomMappings

{

     public string Content { get; set; }

     public bool IsReportedByUser { get; set;}

}

So, the question is: Is this possible?

It should work, is this not working today?

Hmm, I was not sure, is this possible, and I don't even test it.

But now I test it and it works.

Thanks for the quick response.
