Alias/Abbeviation naming mapping feature request
One of the difficulties I have found with AutoMapper is not enough flexibility in name matching. Quite often in large older systems, the are abbreviations/aliases used. Typicall the new code usings more literate names. Would be nice to have a set of aliases/abbreviates that could be applied to generate match candidates.
example from name: PKG_TRKNO to name: PackageTrackingNumber
Automapper does support prefixes. (PKG_) in above. Would like to register- "PKG_", as "Package" and "TRKNO" as "TrackingNumber". Just a thought. Glad to see you are taking this on!
Cheers,
I can see how that can be useful, although I think I'd rather provide crazy simple way to define those synonyms/aliases/abbreviations than try to have any out of the box ones, since I think that would be pretty domain/application specific
Agreed. I didn't mean to imply having having common abbreviations in your implementation was the solution. W.

Ah ok.
That's what I thought but wanted to make it very clear :)
