[Suggestion] Use AutoMapper for object-object mapping

[jenia90]

Currently we use manual mapping of DTOs to their respective DB entities which clutters the code.

Proposed solution It would be nice to use AutoMapper library for automatic mapping of objects.

Alternative solution An alternative solution, in case we don't want to add more packages, would be to implement Map() extension methods for every objects.

I like this, but first, wait for @ncindric to close his PR #46. I don't want him to fight with conflicts.

Blocked by #42.

@amoraitis sure, in the mean time I'll look into what is needed for implementing it in your project. If you don't want to take it yourself, I'd like to be assigned to it :)

@jenia90 I would like to work on this, too. But, it's your issue, it's up to you.

What I would do: I would open an AutoMapper branch here and we could contribute to that branch together.

What do you think?

[jenia90]

@amoraitis Sounds like a good idea!

@amoraitis Awesome! But how do we split the work so we don't interfere each other?
