Custom value mapping

When mapping a value from dictionary's value it may be desirable to format the value prior to it being set on the object. The following example shows a simple value mapper that will double any integer values that go into an object's int properties

Note

The propertyInfo parameter passed into the delegate provides full information about the property whose value will be added to the dictionary.

The value parameter is the value of the property.

var theObject = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
    ["AValue"] = 12
}
.ToObject<MyObject>(c => c
    .WithValueMapper((propertyInfo, value) => value switch
    {
        int intValue => intValue * 2,
        _ => value                      
    }));

// theObject's AValue property will be 24
