Mapping utilities

dotnetmappingnovolis

Object mapping for workflows and documents — DI-friendly definitions migrated from Frank.Mapping.

Published docs: https://novolis-platform.github.io/.github/novolis-mapping/

Layer placement

Follow library-boundaries. Mapping is a platform plumbing library (BCL + DI only). It must not take Avalonia, MAUI, Gaming, or Simulation package references.

Goals

  • Keep public APIs documented and packable as Novolis.Mapping on GitHub Packages.
  • Prefer Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection over a custom container.
  • Document restore and ProjectReference-mode builds without local NuGet folder feeds.

Non-goals

  • Local NuGet folder feeds or committed cross-repo ProjectReference into sibling checkouts.
  • A full AutoMapper replacement (convention profiles, flattening, collection strategies).
  • Avalonia package references outside Novolis.Avalonia.*.
