In the "ProDinner" project, ValueInjecter is used for mapping.I use the newest version, which replace ConventionInjection with LoopInjection when convert between entities and int[],I have got the code of EntitiesToInts class:
public class EntitiesToInts : LoopInjection
{
protected override bool MatchTypes(Type src, Type trg)
{
return trg == typeof(int[])
&& src.IsGenericType
&& src.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(ICollection<>)
&& src.GetGenericArguments()[0].IsSubclassOf(typeof(Entity));
}
protected override void SetValue(object source, object target, PropertyInfo sp, PropertyInfo tp)
{
var val = sp.GetValue(source);
if (val != null)
{
tp.SetValue(target, (val as IEnumerable<Entity>).Select(o => o.Id).ToArray());
}
}
}
How to finish IntsToEntities class?
the IntsToEntities
is there, you can see it being used in the DefaultMapper
in MapperConfig
class
// go from int[] to ICollection<Entity>
public class IntsToEntities : LoopInjection
{
protected override bool MatchTypes(Type src, Type trg)
{
return src == typeof(int[])
&& trg.IsGenericType
&& trg.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(ICollection<>)
&& trg.GetGenericArguments()[0].IsSubclassOf(typeof(Entity));
}
protected override void SetValue(object source, object target, PropertyInfo sp, PropertyInfo tp)
{
var sourceVal = sp.GetValue(source);
if (sourceVal != null)
{
var tval = tp.GetValue(target);// make EF load the collection before modifying it; without it we get errors when saving an existing object
dynamic repo = IoC.Resolve(typeof(IRepo<>).MakeGenericType(tp.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments()[0]));
dynamic resList = Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(List<>).MakeGenericType(tp.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments()[0]));
var sourceAsArr = (int[])sourceVal;
foreach (var i in sourceAsArr)
resList.Add(repo.Get(i));
tp.SetValue(target, resList);
}
}
}
