Question

I’m making extensive use of Markdown in a new project that I’m working on, and I would love to be able to configure an AutoMapper convention that maps all instances of Property X to XMarkdown, and converts the resultant output to Markdown.

So, if I give any destination string property the suffix Markdown and the source is a string then I want to transform the output.

p.s. I know how to render Markdown, so what I’m really after is the convention to get AutoMapper to take the tedium away for me. Thanks.

If things are really consistent, like FirstNameMarkdown, you can use some built in functions.

Mapper.Initialize(cfg => cfg.RecognizeDestinationPostfixes(new[] { "Markdown" }));
