❯ Why

Are you tired of ugly and weird backend structures which makes it challenging to work with in your application 🤯? Here comes a solution 🎉! Just use class-mapper to map all weird structures into TypeScript and ES6 models 👉 YOU 🤗 like to work with in your web frontend or Node.js application and not backend guys 🤪.

Try it!! We are happy to hear your feedback or any kind of new features.

❯ Methods

mapClasses

This method maps a source class to your target class

import {mapClasses, MapFromSource, PropertyType} from 'class-mapper';

/**
 * Source classes
 */

abstract class SourcePersonModel {
  public name1: string;
  public name2: string;
}

class SourceCarModel {
  public attribute1: string;
  public attribute2: string;
}

class SourceCustomerModel extends SourcePersonModel {
  public car1!: SourceCarModel[];
}

const sourceUser: SourceCustomerModel = new SourceCustomerModel();

/**
 * Target classes
 */

abstract class TargetPersonModel {
  @MapFromSource((sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => sourceUser.name1)
  public firstName!: string;

  @MapFromSource((sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => sourceUser.name2)
  public lastName!: string;
}

class TargetCarModel {
  @MapFromSource((sourceCar: SourceCarModel) => sourceCar.attribute1)
  public manufacturer!: string;

  @MapFromSource(sourceCar: SourceCarModel) => sourceCar.attribute2)
  public model!: string;
}

class TargetCustomerModel extends TargetPersonModel {
  @PropertyType(TargetCarModel)
  @MapFromSource((sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => sourceUser.car1)
  public cars!: TargetCarModel[];
}

const targetUser: TargetCustomerModel = mapClasses(TargetCustomerModel, sourceUser);

Using groups to exclude properties

With groups array, you can exclude properties from mapping. MapFromSource decorators with no groups option will always be mapped.

import {mapClasses, MapFromSource, PropertyType} from 'class-mapper';

/**
 * Source class
 */

abstract class SourcePersonModel {
  public name1: string;
  public name1: string;
}

/**
 * Target class
 */

const firstNameOnly = 'first-name-only';
const lastNameOnly = 'last-name-only';

abstract class TargetPersonModel {
  @MapFromSource((sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => sourceUser.name1, { groups: [firstNameOnly] })
  public firstName!: string;

  @MapFromSource((sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => sourceUser.name2, { groups: [lastNameOnly] })
  public lastName!: string;
}

const targetUser: TargetCustomerModel = mapClasses(TargetCustomerModel, sourceUser, { groups: [lastNameOnly] });

Using enabled to exclude properties

With enabled you can exclude conditionally properties. MapFromSource decorators with no enabled option will always be mapped.

import {mapClasses, MapFromSource, PropertyType} from 'class-mapper';

/**
 * Source class
 */

abstract class SourcePersonModel {
  public name1: string;
  public name1: string;
}

/**
 * Target class
 */

abstract class TargetPersonModel {
  @MapFromSource((sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => sourceUser.name1, { enabled: (sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => !!sourceUser.name1 })
  public firstName!: string;

  @MapFromSource(sourceUser => sourceUser.name2, { enabled: (sourceUser: SourcePersonModel) => !!sourceUser.name2 })
  public lastName!: string;
}

const targetUser: TargetCustomerModel = mapClasses(TargetCustomerModel, sourceUser);
