Generate Mapping Code for user types

Imagine you are developing a WebApi, and there is an endpoint POST /users, which creates another User.

And there are 2 different classes: UserCreateRequest (input in controller handler) and UserCreateResponse (output of controller handler)

Here are definitions of these models

public class UserCreateRequest
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }
}

public class UserCreateResponse
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }
}

You obviously need some kind of method to convert one model to another:

public static UserCreateResponse ConvertUserCreate(UserCreateRequest r) => ...

You can use plugin action to generate implementation of such a method. Contract requires to define a method with:

• response type
• name
• single parameter with name

After that you can press Alt+Enter (or any other your personal binding) to open interactive menu and find Map internals of models action. Click it, and method body will be generated automatically
