What is the difference between IPatternApplier<Type, IJoinedSubclassAttributesMapper> and AfterMapJoinedSubclass ?

Hi!

I'm starting to use the confORM and I'm loving it! For real! :)

But I was trying things here and I found out that I can customize the <key column=""> value using both methods.

First one is doing this:

public class JoinedClassColumnNameApplier : IPatternApplier<Type, IJoinedSubclassAttributesMapper>

{

public void Apply(Type subject, IJoinedSubclassAttributesMapper applyTo)

{

applyTo.Key(km => km.Column(subject.Name + "Id"));

}

public bool Match(Type subject)

{

return true;

}

}

and doing this:

void mapper_AfterMapJoinedSubclass(IDomainInspector domainInspector, Type type, IJoinedSubclassAttributesMapper joinedSubclassCustomizer)

{

joinedSubclassCustomizer.Key(

key =>

{

key.ForeignKey(type.BaseType.Name + "Id" + "To"+type.Name);

key.Column(x =>

{

x.Name(type.Name + "Id");

});

});

}

But, is there any difference? Or it's just another way to do the same thing?!

Thanks in advance!

PS: Fabio, congratulations man. You're the best! :)

There is a really big difference.

1) a pattern-applier is a re-usable class

2) a pattern-applier can be added to your set of patterns (IPatternsAppliersHolder)

3) a pattern-applier can be merged to an existing set of patterns (CoolPatternsAppliersHolder)

4) a pattern-applier is easy to test

5) a pattern-applier is applied after execute BeforeMapXYZ event and before execute AfterMapXYZ
