Part of: Pams

NuGet package dependency

AutoMapper is a NuGet dependency declared in Pams.Business.csproj that maps between business-layer objects and DTOs. Business services configure mapping profiles and use an injected mapper to convert data before it crosses application boundaries.

Usage

typescript
type PamsRecordDto = {
  id: string;
  name: string;
};

async function getPamsRecord(id: string): Promise<PamsRecordDto> {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/pams-records/${id}`);

  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error("Unable to load PAMS record");
  }

  // The API response is mapped from a business entity to this DTO by AutoMapper.
  return response.json();
}

const record = await getPamsRecord("record-id");
console.log(record.name);

AI Coding Instructions

• Keep AutoMapper configuration in mapping profiles owned by the business layer.
• Map domain entities to DTOs at service or API boundaries rather than exposing entities directly.
• Update mapping profiles when DTO or entity properties change.
• Check mappings for nested objects, nullable values, and property names that do not match.
