About
-----

**ObjectMapper** is a class for automatic object mapping inspired by .NET **AutoMapper**. It helps you to create objects between project layers (data layer, service layer, view) in a simple, transparent way.

Example
-------

1. **Mapping of the properties without mapping definition**

In this case are mapped only these properties of the target class which are in target and source classes. Other properties are not mapped. Suppose we have class ``A`` with attributes ``name`` and ``last_name`` and class ``B`` with attribute ``name``. Initialization of the ObjectMapper will be:

``python   mapper = ObjectMapper()   mapper.create_map(A, B)   instance_b = mapper.map(A(), B)``

In this case, value of A.name will be copied into B.name.

2. **Mapping with defined mapping functions**

Suppose we have class ``A`` with attributes ``first_name`` and ``last_name`` , class ``B`` with attribute ``full_name`` and class ``C`` with attribute reverse\_name. And want to map it in a way ``B.full_name = A.first_name + A.last_name`` and ``C.reverse_name = A.last_name + A.first_name`` Initialization of the ObjectMapper will be:

\`\`\`python mapper = ObjectMapper() mapper.create\_map(A, B, {'name': lambda a : a.first\_name + " " + a.last\_name}) mapper.create\_map(A, C, {'name': lambda a : a.last\_name + " " + a.first\_name})

instance\_b = mapper.map(A(), B) instance\_c = mapper.map(A(), C) \`\`\`

In this case, to the ``B.name`` will be mapped ``A.first_name + " " + A.last_name`` In this case, to the ``C.name`` will be mapped ``A.last_name + " " + A.first_name``

3. **Mapping suppression**

For some purposes, it can be needed to suppress some mapping. Suppose we have class ``A`` with attributes ``name`` and ``last_name`` and class ``B`` with attributes ``name`` and ``last_name``. And we want to map only the ``A.name`` into ``B.name``, but not ``A.last_name`` to ``B.last_name`` Initialization of the ObjectMapper will be:

\`\`\`python mapper = ObjectMapper() mapper.create\_map(A, B, {'last\_name': None})

instance\_b = mapper.map(A(), B) \`\`\`

In this case, value of A.name will be copied into ``B.name`` automatically by the attribute name ``name``. Attribute ``A.last_name`` will be not mapped thanks the suppression (lambda function is None).

4. **Case insensitive mapping**

Suppose we have class ``A`` with attributes ``Name`` and ``Age`` and class ``B`` with attributes ``name`` and ``age`` and we want to map ``A`` to ``B`` in a way ``B.name`` = ``A.Name`` and ``B.age`` = ``A.Age`` Initialization of the ObjectMapper will be:

``python   mapper = ObjectMapper()   mapper.create_map(A, B)   instance_b = mapper.map(A(), B, ignore_case=True)``

In this case, the value of A.Name will be copied into B.name and the value of A.Age will be copied into B.age.
